Bal d'Afrique Eau de Parfum
"Since before I was born, my amazing mom has always worn the same fragrance, and every year it was super easy for us to just run out and grab the same item time and time again. This year, I wanted a challenge. I simply love Byredo and all of the fragrances they make, but I particularly love this scent. Part whimsical, part French, what else is there to love? And I think my mom will too." - Aaron Valentic, International Assistant
