Byredo Bal d'Afrique is a body spray launched in 2026. Bal d'Afrique opens with African Marigold, Bergamot, Lemon, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine Petals, Violet, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. It lasts about 2 to 4 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring and summer. Byredo's Bal d'Afrique carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

The Bal d'Afrique idea as a light, aloe-softened mist, made to be sprayed freely. It sits closer to the skin than the Eau de Parfum and fades sooner, so wear it alone on warm days or layer it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Bal d'Afrique Body Mist is Byredo's lighter version of its 2009 Bal d'Afrique, launched in 2026. It opens on African marigold, bergamot, lemon and blackcurrant, moves into violet, jasmine petals and lily of the valley, and settles on vetiver, black amber, musk and tonka bean. Byredo makes it with aloe vera and a cloud-effect pump, so it goes on as a fine, even veil that can be sprayed generously. The house suggests wearing it on its own, layering it with the Eau de Parfum or Absolu de Parfum, or reapplying it through the day as a refresher. Expect it to sit closer to the skin and fade sooner than the Eau de Parfum.
