    Again great review. Zara Home has a fragrance called Tonka Wood which smells very similar to Ball D'Afrique, but with better longevity and projection, they even took the same perfumer this time lol

      @BonitoFlakes24 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zororo Roa I’ve really been wanting to blind buy that one but I’ve been worried it might be too sweet and more for fall and winter? Is it pretty much the same as Bal D’AFRIQUE and good for summer and spring?

  • @SONICE69
    @SONICE69 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great great video Gents- you are two if my very favourite reviewers and my viewings back it up.... That being said, I TOTALLY TOTALLY DISAGREE with you on two main points:
    1. It IS A FANTASTIC fragrance period. The frag is less about the Vetiver and MORE ABOUT the Marigold & African Orange Flower- a simply AWESOME NOTE when done well..
    2. Regarding performance- here too I found the performance extremely nice.... one if the amazing things Ben Gotham has done is creation a body wash, bar soap, lotion, body cream and bath oil that can all be purchased legit grey market and that layer incredibly to give added longevity... This is a WINNER & COMPLIMENT MONSTER... Try what I suggested,: Body wash + Bar soap to shower, then body cream OR Body lotion + Bath oil- a-lly generously to skin and then 4 sprays of the frag. Any wedding between mud May- Early September would make you an absolute STAR sporting this gem.......

    For me: Top 5 Wedding Scent[Mid-May- Early September: Byredo Bal D’Afrique, Prada L’Homme, Guerlain Angelique Noire, Francis Kurkdjian Aqua Universalis Forte & Xerjoff Nio [Tued with Xerjoff Blue Hope]: Honourable mention: Puro Lino EDP!👏👏👏

    To me, this has some hints of Pulp that I like, but Pulp itself does not sit well on my skin. Too much fruit, for me. Much prefer Bal d'Afrique. Great review. Thanks Carlos & Steven!

    @steliosc.4686 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful scent but very feminine in my opinion. In the drydown the Vetiver is more dominant and has a more masculine vibe but thats after 2 hours of wearing.

    It is fantastic and uplifting. Very fruity, but not in a classical way. You will get the Africa vibe on the fruity side. On my skin, it lasts far longer than Gypsy Water. I don't know about siage yet.
