Bal D'Afrique Absolu: Bal d'Afrique Absolu is a deeper, more intense reinterpretation of the original Bal d'Afrique, highlighting a contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth. It's a gourmand fragrance, with a prominent praline note, that pays homage to founder Ben Gorham's personal memories and the artistic influence of African culture. The fragrance features top notes of bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant, a heart of musks, praline, and violet, and a base of cedarwood, vetiver, and black amber. The Absolu version is known for its longevity and a stronger, more consistent scent compared to the original.

Scents are so subjective. The original Bal D’Afrique is my current favourite and as a woman I love it on me. This Absolu version still smells nice, it has the same undertones as the original, though I find it is more masculine overall. I don’t think I will be wearing it often but I am glad I was able to try it in a smaller format from Rituel Privé. The shipping experience was great - fast shipping to Canada and the vial was well wrapped up. I would purchase from here again.
Not really for me,unisex
Love the scent!
