Beautiful fruity-floral summer scent. The H and S are slightly better than the original, also a bit more floral and feminine. Summer in Paris 2020

Should the clone be Byredo Bal de Afrique. It would be great if the longevity could be improved.

Must be dosed more carefully compared to the original, as it's stronger but not quite as refined and nuanced. It’s a bit more "pineapple fruity."

Synthetic and piercing floral scent
DNA is close to the BDA, but not as balanced and refined
Performance compared to the original is top-notch
