Eden Perfumes No.641 Bal D’Afrique is a Parfum. No.641 Bal D’Afrique opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange Blossom, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vetiver. Eden Perfumes's No.641 Bal D’Afrique carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Eden's No.641 leans into Byredo Bal D'Afrique's citrus-and-marigold opening with a decent jasmine-violet heart, but the woody-musk base thins out fast next to Byredo's velvety vetiver drydown - a fair budget echo of the original's jazz-club warmth rather than a true match.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.641 is Eden Perfumes' vegan take on Byredo's cult favourite, opening with a bright citrus rush of lemon and bergamot lifted by a tart black currant edge. The African orange flower note gives it that distinctive marmalade-adjacent warmth Byredo fans will recognise straight away. Through the heart, jasmine and violet soften the citrus into something more floral and relaxed, evoking the bustling market scenes the original was built around. The base settles into vetiver, musk and cedar, giving reasonable woody grounding though it lacks the plush, long-lasting depth of the designer version. Performance sits in the moderate range, with the citrus-floral character fading within a few hours rather than lingering all day. Still, for the price, it captures the essential character of Bal D'Afrique convincingly enough for daytime wear, layering well over skin in warmer months when the original's sunny, sophisticated mood is most wanted.
