Perfume Parlour Fragrance

The Scent

: Afrique Absolu opens with a bright mix of blackcurrant, bergamot and lemon, giving the fragrance a crisp fruity freshness. The heart blends praline, musk and violet, adding a soft sweetness with a light powdery touch. As it settles, black amber, cedarwood and vetiver create a warm woody base that feels smooth, modern and long lasting.This fragrance is unisex and suitable for both men and women.

Crafted in the UK · Perfume Parlour · Est. 2004

Stunning

This is stunning, amazing longevity ( I haven’t tried the OG, but longevity is usually the issue I’ve found with their fragrances), it’s intoxicating but very classy and sophisticated

Best Inspiration of Bal D'Afrique Absolu

I bought two bottles of this after my friends fell in love with it — I basically had no choice but to get them their own. There's a reason that Bal D'Afrique Absolu is so popular right now..

A beautiful scent that captures the bright, juicy blackcurrant-bergamot-lemon opening, the soft praline-musk-violet heart, and the warm black amber-cedar-vetiver drydown extremely well.

I’ve compared it side-by-side with both the original Byredo Bal d’Afrique Absolu and Bujairami’s Too Damn Good, and this is the best of the inspired-by versions for me. It feels the closest in scent profile and overall balance of oil concentration while still delivering solid performance at a fraction of the price.

Highly recommended if you like the Absolu and want a great everyday alternative without breaking the bank account!
