Byredo Bal d’Afrique EDP, released in 2009, is a radiant, warm and romantic fragrance that evokes the golden era of Paris in the late 1920s—the excitement, art, dance, and the influence of African culture meeting Parisian avant‑gardism. Designed by Jérôme Epinette, this signature scent is a love letter to art, music and memories under warm sunlight.
The scent opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot, lemon, neroli, and African marigold, mingled with notes of buchu and African orange flower, giving a beautifully fresh, citrusy, slightly green tang. At its heart lie soft, elegant florals — cyclamen, violet, and jasmine petals — bringing airy sophistication and delicate sweetness.The base rounds out with refined woods and warmth: vetiver, Moroccan cedarwood, black amber, and musk add depth and lasting sensuality.
