silken sunset
A glamorous, summery shapeshifter. Hour 1: sugared citrus. Hours 2-4: “Baccarat d’Afrique.” Hours 5-12+: Bal d’Afrique. Not the near-identical twin I found with the Mojave Ghost Absolu, but definitely a sibling. The citrus, which was invisible to me in the OG, plays a far more dominant role here. The praline interlude is a new addition and conjures up wartime Baccarat Rouge flashbacks. Far more sugary and brassy than the boho-clean marigold shampoo of the original. Feels like the summertime foil to the wintry rose-cocoa of my beloved Soie Malaquais, in that near-gourmand vein. The longevity and sillage defy every Byredo stereotype (two sprays to a tester card was enough to make my car a BdA bubble for 3 days, so much that I could even smell it percolating from the trunk when loading groceries). I was easily clocking 12+h on skin. Would have sprung for a bottle if I didn’t get the amber syrup intercession, as the drydown is divine, but if you like your fragrances sweet and showy this would be a winner.
Mental Snapshot: Southern California. Summer night first date. Five-star tapas bar. Aperol Spritzes al fresco. Tango lessons in the park. Cruising down the coastline at sunset, “Soak Up the Sun” thumping from your sunburst-coloured Boxster.
tl;dr: summer nights, not-from-concentrate
