Byredo Bal D'Afrique

With Byredo's perfectionist approach to perfumery, the Absolue de Parfum line distills some of the brand’s most beloved fragrances into pure essences - more intense than the originals, with a longer-lasting trail on the skin. These iconic scents are not only amplified, but also unveil entirely new olfactive dimensions of their aromatic components.
More sensual. More saturated. More enduring.

The Absolue bottles are specially designed, featuring caps inspired by Yakisugi, the traditional Japanese wood-burning technique.

Bal D’afrique is a fragrant celebration of rhythm — evoking memories, music, and movement. In the Absolue version, contrasts are heightened compared to the original. Bergamot and blackcurrant radiate with bright, luminous tones before diving into praline and musk — like sunlight dancing with shadow. Balancing between sensuality and vibrancy, the fragrance settles into vetiver and black amber, softening the tempo.
