What are the notes of each Bal d’Afrique version?
Bal d’Afrique Eau de Parfum
The description names bright citrus and African marigold without an order of appearance, then a warm base of vetiver, cedarwood and musk. Vetiver is a grass whose scent is extracted from its roots.
Bal d’Afrique Absolu de Parfum
- Opening: fresh, with a touch of African marigold.
- Heart: warm and earthy, with vetiver and sandalwood.
The Absolu description does not mention citrus, cedarwood or musk, and adds sandalwood, which does not appear in the Eau de Parfum description.
Bal d’Afrique Hair Perfume, 75 ml
A fresh, green woody blend of African daisy, bergamot and violet in a soft mist made for hair. The hair perfume description calls the flower “African daisy”, while the two perfume descriptions call it “African marigold”; each name is given as it appears.
The common ground between the Eau de Parfum and the Absolu is African marigold and vetiver, and only the hair perfume names bergamot and violet.
Who is Bal d’Afrique for?
- Anyone drawn to perfumes that pair bright citrus with an earthy base of vetiver and woods, as in the Eau de Parfum description.
- Anyone who prefers earthy woody perfumes.
- Anyone after more intensity: the Absolu, richer and longer-wearing according to its description.
- Anyone who wants the scent in their hair at the lowest price in this line: the hair perfume.
For a sweet perfume led by vanilla or caramel, none of the three descriptions mentions either note.
