    Real talk

    This one won't knock anyone over. Rose and magnolia, caught in a clean ozonic shimmer, fading close and powdery. Built for people who want to wear something, not perform it.Rose Silk
    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)
