PRODUCT DETAILS

Byredo is a Swedish niche fragrance brand known for crafting unique and artistic scents. Their founder, Ben Gorham, creates olfactory experiences. Bal d’Afrique, which launched in 2009 is one of their standout creations.

This scent is inspired by the vibrant energy of African culture, a tribute to the richness, diversity, and joy of African dance. It’s meant to bottle the atmosphere of a celebration of life. The blend of floral and sweet notes gives a warm, almost nostalgic feeling.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

Inspired by: Bal D'afrique, Byredo

Visualize yourself lying on the beach in Africa, basking in the warmth of a sun-drenched morning. As you relax, imagine the aromatic blend of bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, and red berries coming together.
When you take the first spritz, the heart notes of jasmine, violet, lily of the valley, and cedarwood suddenly transport you to a floral paradise, letting you experience the unique natural beauty of Africa.
As a final touch, a blend of tonka bean, vetiver, amber, and white musk envelops your senses.
