It keeps the original's citrus-and-violet skeleton but adds a praline note and pushes the amber-cedarwood base further, aiming for more richness and staying power than the original Eau de Parfum. This listing is the tester version: the identical juice, sold at a lower price because the packaging is plain or unboxed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCitrus \/ Fruity — 33%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody \/ Amber — 33%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet (Praline) — 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMusky — 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloral — 11%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e the familiar Bal d'Afrique citrus-violet accord, made richer and sweeter with praline and a deeper amber-woody base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackcurrant, Bergamot, Lemon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Praline, Musk, Violet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Amber, Cedarwood, Vetiver\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eByredo's original Bal d'Afrique EDP is famously light for its price — moderate 4–6 hour longevity with soft, close-to-skin sillage. The Absolu concentration is formulated to improve on that, so expect somewhat longer wear and slightly more presence, though still closer to Byredo's understated house style than a projecting fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA year-round unisex fragrance — its citrus opening suits daytime wear while the amber-praline base carries it into cooler evenings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConcentration \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsolu de Parfum, unisex.
