Byredo Bal d'Afrique was created as a tribute 1920s Paris - Saint Germain, Josephine Baker, African culture. A rich perfume, warmed, with a sense of fun about it. Smoky woods, a little funky marigold, and this is even more addictive than Gypsy Water as a warm, earthy comfort scent.
Founded in 2006 in Sweden Byredo perfume's creator Ben Gorham (former basketball player) wanted to create perfumes of quality while keeping their production in Sweden. Gorham had been fascinated with fragrance much of his life. When he meet Pierre Wulff, a perfumer, Byredo came into being. Currently Gorham works with Olivia Giacobetti and Jerome Epinette to create his line of perfumes.

I first smelled this lovely scent while in Warsaw. The perfume smells like what I imagine Moroccan girls smelled like in Paris in the 20's. Robust, sweet but not sugary, yet sheer and light. This scent stays on my clothes, scarves, and jackets. I love even smelling it on my clothes days and even weeks after application! Its my fave!

Lovely fragrance, but should last longer for such an expensive perfume.
