Radiant. Lush. Timeless.
Africa, inspired by Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique, is a vibrant tribute to beauty, culture, and imagination. Warm, luminous, and full of movement, it captures the spirit of artistic expression and the energy of a faraway dream.
The fragrance opens with the sunlit sparkle of African marigold and bergamot, bursting with golden citrus brightness. Buchu leaf adds a green, slightly aromatic twist that makes the opening feel alive and unexpected. At the heart, cyclamen and violet bloom in soft, airy layers, lending a delicate floral elegance. As the scent settles, Moroccan cedarwood and vetiver rise through the warmth, grounding the composition in smoky woods and earthy sophistication.
This fragrance is a love letter to the continent’s influence on art, dance, and music, an olfactory fantasy that feels both modern and timeless.

Smells like a love letter to culture, beauty, and fantasy; radiant and timeless with Africa.
We've smelled almost every Byredo fragrance there is. It's easy to see why the Stockholm-based brand is so popular; in addition to the incredibly chic and minimal packaging, the unisex scents are as unique as they come yet undoubtedly wearable and intriguing as well. Trust us—everyone will ask you what scent you're wearing when you spray on Byredo, and anything you buy from the brand is worthy of the price tag, but we're here to help you save a few buck with these these dupes (there are so many good ones to choose from).
