Real talk
This is not a fragrance for everyone. If you need something that announces itself in a room, move along. But if you appreciate green tea and vetiver working in quiet tandem with fig and cedarwood,.The Matcha 26
Bal d'Afrique is one of Byredo's more accessible fragrances for everyday wear. It does not demand attention but rewards those who notice it. If you prefer scents that announce themselves from across.Bal d'Afrique (Eau de Parfum)
