Our estimate of scent similarity, calculated from published notes. How we score it
Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
The bright citrus and floral notes of Bal d'Afrique are ideal for spring and summer, providing a refreshing scent that matches warmer weather. The lighter base notes make it less suited for colder months.
Best Occasions
Its balanced projection and sophisticated scent profile make it a suitable choice for the office and dates, while its subtle sophistication fits casual and formal settings. Less ideal for sports due to its refined character.
