I am really drawn to this product, it sets the mood with its fragrance. I even love applying it to my hair before bed and enjoying the scent. Maybe it doesn't have a strong sillage, but if I apply it in the morning, I can still feel it in the evening. I recommend giving it a try.
The suffocating scent of lemon geranium. I can't imagine a girl between 20-40 years old wearing such a fragrance.
My love!!! Words cannot express it!!! I adore it!!! The trail captivates and entices! I hear it all day long! A masterpiece!!!
This fragrance has a nice scent, but it feels more masculine to me. The only downside is that it doesn't last long and doesn't leave a trail. Perhaps it is more suitable for the summer. I am writing this review during a cold autumn.
The scent is amazing, but sadly, it doesn't last long. Considering the cost, it is quite disappointing.
It's surprising that people write about its "lack of longevity" because it has stayed on me for three days, even though I sprayed it only once on my neck and engaged in intense sports activities in the heat for three days. The scent is pure bliss for summer, a "luxurious" summer fragrance, with its lightness and a refreshing summer breeze.
In comparison to other Bvlgari fragrances, this scent is quite underwhelming for me. I'm glad I only had a sample of it. It lacks depth and longevity. The only intriguing note in it is the touch of velvet, but even that is barely noticeable.
Someone gifted me this fragrance, it was not purchased here. I really liked it. It has an unusual, woody, warm scent. It's elegant and not for fans of overly sweet, candy-like fragrances. Its longevity is unmatched. I am surprised by complaints about its lack of longevity. I only need three sprays and I smell great all day.
I purchased a sample, not a makeup product. However, I must say that there is not even a hint of soap in it. This fragrance is pure luxury. Cedar, amber, and musk, vetiver, a hot cocktail of scents with a touch of flowers and citrus. I really love how cedar sounds in this fragrance. And for a hot brunette, this scent will be absolutely amazing.
I bought a sample to try out before ordering here because the price went up so much that I wanted to make sure I wouldn't regret spending the money.
It's clear that olfactory sensations vary for everyone, but I perceive this fragrance as a blend of citrus and cream.
It's one of those scents that you quickly stop sensing on yourself.
I don't know which soap many people here are talking about. If you could provide more specific details about the soap in question, I would definitely buy a ton of it. This indescribable light floral extravaganza captivates my spirits, and when I wear clothes that have been sprayed with this perfume, even my mood improves. I can't put into words the pleasant sensations that overwhelm me, but I will definitely recommend this fragrance to you if you also enjoy non-intrusive, floral-fruity perfume melodies, just like me.
I am not sure which fragrance this review is referring to, but the perfume has very delicate and incredibly captivating notes. It gives the impression of being embraced by a gentle, warm, fresh, and soft breeze, something unbelievably beautiful! I love this unique scent; it is unlike anything else.
I have a sample and I have been dreaming of owning a bottle for a long time. The fragrance is stylish and modern, with a balanced amount of violet, green, and fruit notes. Overall, it is a super trendy scent. Suitable for everyday wear and special occasions. I love it and I am eagerly waiting for a discount on it.
I didn't buy it here, just wanted to share my experience. This soap is, well, just soap, but it's long-lasting and doesn't wash off easily from the skin. I can't detect any other scents, only soapy water, although there was a hint of something woody right after applying it, but it disappeared...
If there were 10 stars, I would give them all to my most favorite fragrance, especially for summer!
After a couple of days in warmth, the soap diluted in gasoline becomes quite the mixture.
The scent is pleasant, but for me, it's ordinary. I don't feel anything special or sexy, as others claim.
I can't even really understand what it smells like, it's somewhat nondescript.
It stays very close to the skin, without leaving a trail.
Hello!
Please, I really want to do a test, I want you to have a trial version!
I am hesitant to purchase.
I didn't buy it here, but the scent is amazing! It's expensive and has a lingering fragrance that develops over time. You can hardly even notice it, but people around you compliment its delightful and unique aroma. The fragrance really lasts a long time and evolves in a completely different way as time goes on. I highly recommend it!
I didn't buy it here, but for the girls who are hesitant... It's simply amazing, the scent is extraordinary. People around you will sniff with closed eyes, enjoying the aroma. It's a very sexy and luxurious fragrance. Long-lasting with a lingering trail.
One of my favorites, it never gets boring and always gathers a sea of compliments from both men and women.
I purchased Byredo Bal d'Afrique two weeks ago, inspired by the reviews and after smelling it on a friend. The packaging is very elegant and luxurious, with a simple yet monumental design. I bought it for the cold season, but I must say that I don't share the enthusiasm and "wows" about it. The first downside is the high price. On the positive side, the scent is deep, warm, and harmonious. It gradually unfolds, taking you on a romantic journey and evoking distant memories. The second downside is that the scent is not particularly long-lasting. It lasts for about an hour and then fades away, leaving a light trail on clothing after an hour and a half to two hours. My husband's reaction was, "It's a scent for mature women, and it has an old-fashioned feel, like remnants of our mothers' past." A male colleague's reaction was, "I'm tired of sniffing you, it overwhelms me with memories and images of the past, the good, the very forgotten." Somehow, it turned out that most of my acquaintances, who are over 43-45 years old, found the scent old-fashioned, evoking memories, but still warmly multi-dimensional. Therefore, let's call this a plus - Byredo Bal d'Afrique is an embodiment of memories. When expectations slightly diverge from reality, and the number of positive reviews about the magic of attractiveness and sex appeal stirs your consciousness - your imagination kicks in, and you start painting images again, images that make you feel like growing wings and dancing (in the sense of, let's dance). So, another plus is that Byredo Bal d'Afrique stimulates the imagination, encouraging you to feel luxurious and free. This fragrance is more suitable for me for work and business meetings.
The fragrance is luxurious! I am eagerly awaiting the release of the 50ml size. It is expensive, feminine, and seductive. It is impossible to get enough of it! It is absolutely stunning!
This fragrance is the most complimentary scent out of all the ones I have ever had! The smell is simply magical. Everyone loves it, it evokes admiration. People want to constantly smell you! I haven't found a perfume better than this for myself. It's the most perfect ideal!!!) Unfortunately, I didn't order it here, but I also want to thank the makeup department for their prompt delivery and excellent product quality. You guys are amazing!
I am really looking forward to trying out a sample of this "African Ball" product. According to online reviews, it is an absolute masterpiece, but unfortunately, there is nowhere for me to test it out.
The fragrance is simply amazing! It's soft, delicate, deep, and memorable. It has a perfect balance of sweetness, flowers, and woody notes. Everything is harmonious and very pleasant. It vaguely resembles the scent of Noa Cacharel, not the current ones, but the ones from 2001, the very first ones. There's also something in common with Tom Ford White Suede. I highly recommend it to those who enjoy these types of fragrances. Respect to the store!
I have been ordering from makeup for about two years now, but I have never left any reviews before. By default, makeup's work is impeccable! Thank you for that! When placing an order, I always rely on reviews, just like now! Thank you to everyone who previously wrote these reviews, thanks to them I have become the owner of this luxurious fragrance!! It's something else! It really doesn't resemble anything. Very deep and at the same time gentle and soft! The trail is absolutely mesmerizing! I highly, highly recommend it, but at the same time, I don't recommend it at all, let only I be the one to experience this perfection...))))))))
A dreamy scent, like nothing else! It has won me over forever!!! It doesn't suffocate with sweetness, it's delicate yet long-lasting. And the price is great on make-up. I first saw it in an It-perfume, but the price there is sky-high! So, buy it here.
I have never heard anything like this in my life, what a scent!!!!!!! It's for true queens!! I highly recommend it!!!!!
Amazing scent! Right after applying it, there is a citrus note that gradually warms up, but it is not overwhelming. It's one of my favorites. It wasn't available here, but I had it delivered upon request. I simply called the hotline and asked to place an order. Thank you, Make Up!
