Bal d'Afrique Hair Perfume, the 2015 hair version of a Byredo scent, is mainly citrus, with a woody layer underneath.

The note list is short. Lemon and bergamot give a bright, clean citrus opening, sharp and slightly bitter. French marigold and marigold bring the scent's most distinctive note: a green, slightly bitter and herbal floral, a little fruity and almost tomato-leaf-like, which adds character to the citrus. Vetiver then provides an earthy, slightly smoky woodiness that anchors the composition and gives it a dry, elegant finish.

Hair perfumes are designed to be sprayed onto hair, where scent tends to diffuse softly as you move, and they are usually lighter than skin fragrances. This one suits daytime, spring and summer, and any occasion where a fresh, discreet scent is wanted. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes bright citrus with a green, marigold-led twist and a quiet vetiver base.
