Sparkling like champagne laughter in a candlelit Parisian ballroom, Paris 1920 Absolu feels cultured, radiant, and indulgent. It makes everyday moments feel truly cinematic and special. This is our interpretation of the luminous elegance in Bal d'Afrique Absolu by Byredo. It captures vibrant sophistication with deeper intensity and modern refinement. The way it unfolds is honestly addictive from the very start. It opens with a sparkling flash of Lemon that is bright, crisp, and uplifting. Juicy Black Currant adds a subtle and complementary fruity tang. Then things soften with violet's slightly powdery, romantic touch. A creamy swirl of Praline adds delicate, refined, never sugary sweetness. As it settles, the base brings serious depth and complexity. Black Amber adds a warm and beautifully resinous glow. Cedarwood keeps everything polished and structurally sound. Vetiver lends an earthy and slightly smoky edge. Finally, Musks tie everything together, smooth and skin-like. This creates an intimate, lingering, and memorable trail. It is floral, woody, musky, elevated, richer, and unmistakable. Indulge in refined luxury as Paris 1920 Absolu becomes the highlight of your most unforgettable evenings.

First time trying Dua! I was pleasantly surprised by this. I have the actual Bal d'Afrique Absolu and I would say this scent is about 90% similar. On my skin it's fruitier and punchier than the OG, and it's a bit less powdery. OG lasts about 5 hours on me, this dupe lasts about 6-7 hours. Honestly if you don't want to spend $400 on the OG this is really solid and most people won't be able to tell the difference anyways.
Very veryyy similar to the original. Smells super good and intoxicating. I would say it unisex and a very good everyday fragrance. Almost like a go to the mall run an errand fragrance but in the best way possible.
Good stuff! Got several compliments today while out running errands. Very smooth, citrus and floral fragrance.
This smells so good. Spot on to the OG. I prefer this than the regular one. Definitely worth getting.
Don’t think about it, just buy it! In-depth review coming out soon on my channel. If you want to hear lots of in depth Dua reviews ,make sure to follow me! Tik Tok and IG: @scentimental_mood
Long lasting and stronger than OG
My top favorite literally goes with everything definitely worth the purchase
Absolute Fav, so fresh & clean
This is beautiful,citrus with a sweet buttery soapy start with an almost cold, muskiness, sweetness, soapy, slight pecan shell dry down. As a person who has worn both I love this one more because I didn’t buy the original because it has this papery synthetic musk in the drydown. This fragrance does it better to me. Def has nice praline note. As a person who grew up with two pecan trees in my yard. This reminds me of the smell on my hands after peeling pecans all day.
I love this one so so much it's a great compliment to the original but sweeter and more juicy.
Smells really good I want another a customer gave me this at my job I ask wow what’s that you got on and she told and showed and then said imma give this to you I done bout use it up🤩🥰
Once again Dua nailed the DNA! This is a gorgeous floral fragrance with a deeper depth that is spot on to the original! The absolu still has that beautiful original DNA with added fruitiness and some sweet praline. This is an absolutely beautiful fragrance!
Yea it's Identical to Bal d'Afrique for the first 10-15 minutes but stronger. After that opening, you get a much fruitier fragrance with the old DNA clearly there but waving goodbye for sure. Maybe slightly more fem leaning but without a doubt not a fem fragrance. The original Bal d'Afrique is one of the 10 best smells ever known. Obviously Dua did a great job on the original and I'm sure this is as close as possible to the absolu.
Banger!!! And it smells very close (95%) to the OG. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this one.
Took Hella long to come about 3 weeks but once it came it was fire and would absolutely buy again.
This is the first bad experienxe ive had with dua, so imma give then a pass. But this definitely isnt irish green tweed at all but perhaps the bottle needs to maserate
I absolutely love how the lemon, praline and Vetiver play together. The dry down is so amazing. Easlyone of my top 3 from Dua.
The most amazing and intoxicating version of BAF … one sniff of this and I returned my original
An incredible fragrance
This one hurts me because I love the smell a lot , but I can’t wear because it dont go will with my skin chemistry, but this is nice
This perfume is amazing. I’ve never smwlled the original, but if it’s anything like this, I understand all the hype. I’m so impressed by the quality and longevity of this fragrance brand.
Nice scent, very sweet.
Smells good
Amazing! Smells exactly like the OG! Just ordered the 100ml!!
Perfection and last forever straight out of the mailbox!
