Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - African Art Eau de Parfum
A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Byredo Bal d'Afrique (2009) - Jerome Epinette's bergamot-marigold-violet-vetiver composition that became one of the Stockholm niche house's signature releases, evoking 1920s Parisian-African art culture in a clean unisex woody-floral. Honest dupe-fidelity for spring-summer day wear.
Our Verdict - African Art Express Eau de Parfum
Perfume Parlour's Express 30 ml format of the African Art dupe of Byredo Bal d'Afrique (2009). The same Jerome Epinette pyramid - bergamot, marigold, violet, vetiver - in PP's small-format pour-on variant for travel and trial. Honest dupe-fidelity at a sample-able size.
