Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I got a few samples off of Microperfumes and honestly fell in love with Bal d'Afrique.
  • Byredo has a lot of popular somewhat soft but pretty/clean scents like Bal d’Afrique (bottled sunshine)
  • Bal d'Afrique (or any of its decent dupes) is probably right up your alley!
  • Byredo - Bal d’Afrique (I rather like this one in the cold because it has some warmth to it)
  • Byredo Bal d’Afrique – Non-gourmand Pina Colada bordering on spoiled. Intensely gorgeous and moving in a way I never would have expected; brings tears to my eyes occasionally.

Cons

  • I can’t smell Bal D’Afrique without getting super queasy.
  • Why would I want to smell Bal D’Afrique while eating pizza with my hands?
  • A lot of stuff in the vein of Bal D'Afrique, Orpheon or Eau Duelle, various Chanel perfumes, etc.
  • Bal d’afrique I really didn’t like at all, same with the absolu version
  • How much do you spray Bal d'Afrique for other people to notice it? I had a sample and sprayed it like 6 times and still couldn't even smell it on myself ☠️

In this general neighborhood, I definitely prefer the Terre d'Hermes or even the Byredo Bal d'Afrique more.

Year-round, every day: So hard to pick between Another 13 and Bal D’Afrique, but Another 13 wins by a smidgeon.
