Bal D’Afrique’s unique African marigold, violet, and Moroccan cedarwood blend is inspired by Paris during the late ’20s. The versatile scent nicely starts off bright and citrusy, and later dries down with a smokier finish.

If you already own Byredo’s Bibliothèque candle, you’ll be an instant fan of its personal fragrance version. Its peach, plum, leather, and patchouli notes are reminiscent of the crisp pages of a book (in a good way).

The only thing better than receiving a big, beautiful bouquet of flowers is wearing this rhubarb-, freesia-, and tulip-scented fragrance on a regular basis. While its notes are perfect to wear through the entirety of spring, die-hard floral fans will probably opt to spritz it on all year.

Developed as an olfactory tribute to selflessness and compassion, this scent gets its name from a nickname given by soldiers to WWI nurses. And since Rose of No Man’s Land contains both Turkish rose petals and Turkish rose absolute, you can consider it a tribute to lovers of rose scents, too.

If you prefer to keep your perfume rotation on the minimal side, consider adding Byredo’s Blanche eau de parfum to your lineup. It contains notes like pink pepper, white rose, neroli, and musk that are meant to signify an appreciation for classic beauty.

Each Byredo perfume tells a story. Slow Dance’s warm geranium, violet, and patchouli notes aim to bottle the feeling of a rite of passage for girls and boys before moving into adulthood. We recommend layering it with another vanilla-noted fragrance for ultimate sensorial impact.
