You prolly dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any help you can give me
@Kevin Quincy thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Welcome back! - Glad to be backl! :-) Manny is gonna be stoked you guys checked out "D'Freak" Love vetiver and need to add this to the warmer weather rotation. I am rocking out Gypsy Water today.
First...to make a comment actually relevant to the video. Bal d’Afrique is definitely my favorite Byredo and seems to work in all occasions. Great review guys!
Awww man.. if I knew about this fragrance when I got married I would've see worn this one.. Def in my top 5. Byredo works great with my skin unlike Tom Fords..
wow - a bright clean VETIVER that I really like (usually it smells like bugspray unless its dark) this is really terrific here in the heat/humidity Im glad Ive got it JIM from MIAMI BEACH
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!👏👏👏
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.......
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!
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.
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
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?
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.
@@BrooklynFragranceLover okay. I'm gonna grab their interpretation. I just got African magic their take on African leather and its AMAZING!! I'm about to smell like a Egyptian king at work. The way you both described this one or sounds signature scent worthy.
I could enjoy this on a man but I don’t like it on me! I bought it because I was in Paris and smelled it at the counter and thought I liked it but I just can’t wear it. It’s too strong.. maybe I’ll change my mind.
Just got mine today...I had to see BFL again for the review. RIP Carlos
Same 😔
How do you like it? Does it last long?
@@urScorpioLady I love it and this it has good lasting power. 6-8 hrs. I layer with matching lotion and can push it even longer
Yeap me too …picking it up next week for my birthday…..just dropping in to see what Carlos made of it …xxxx God Bless him in the arms of the angels now …
We miss you Carlos.
This scent is fucking gorgeous. Its cute, clean, sparkly, lemony, clean freshly washed linnenny, warm.
Great cosy clean fragrance
Just came back to this channel because I smelled this fragrance 😢R.I.P Carlos
Two of my fav reviewers reviewing one of my top scents in my collection. Love Byredo:)
Dee Kuz awesome thanks so much
I miss you two together 🥺
I love this scent. Was my wedding fragrance.
Awesome.

3rd. Love Bal d’Afrique. Had a small sample. Would like to wear it this Summer. Great review Bros✌🏻
Been waiting for this review. Good job guys!!
Together....Forever....
That's funny, I purchased this one just today at Lucky Scent. I'll take it as a good sign ;-) It's one of those fragrances that just makes you smile.
Cool! Enjoy it
I have never smelled anything like this before. I had to have this! Got Flowerhead first, but had to get this! Wish it lasted longer😋
That's my SOD . I love it.
I manage to get great deal on this one few weeks ago, 100 ml bottle for 60$.
Eddi3 excellent!
Recently got my nose on this - can't believe I missed this gem what a wonderful scent dry down is just amazing defo next purchase 👊🏼

Just bought this in Connecticut Stamford got two for one deal this scent is so good i never smelt anything like it
I love it! Smells soooo great!im going to buy it soon!
You two rock. Great work on another video. Best Regards James Underwood
I recently tried it and i loveeeeee it! Too bad it does not have projection. Any good dupes or similar fragrances?
Great Video. I tested it last week and i love it. next to buy :D
Miss you carlos

lj6583 Thanks for watching
Great video! Love Vetiver!

Zororo Roa Oh really? Need to look into that.
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?
Yeah they maybe can do a review of that one
Great review, I would love to see a review about Eight and Bob Nuit de Megeve.
Vetiver fatal by the same perfumer is my favorite vetiver!
Great video review you guys, LOL at Burritos fragrance!
LOL
What are the differences between this and Vetiver Fatale? Own the latter and thinking that BDA will be redundant. Thanks Carlos & Steven?
I love the scent profile of this. A little worried that this leans too feminine though.
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.
NOT FIRST 1ST BUT NEVER LAST
This is a great scent imho. Baudelaire is another one I like.
Hey Carlos have you tried Estee Lauders Pleasures, would be curious on your thoughts. Thanks for your reviews!
Nice review! I wonder what you think about “Eleventh Hour” .
Greetings from Switzerland!
The early bird might get the worm but the night owl gets you two!
😂
Hey Carlos when can find that shirt.really cool
My favorite from the house.
Byredo: *BAE* *DA* *FREAK!!!* 😉
Great take on the fragrance, gents!👍👍
Thx
RIP both you two
Nice review! Do you have any thoughts on 1996?
I’m trying to see how this one smells. I see Alexandria has an interpretation of this scent. Does this one lean masculine?
It’s unisex with really no outright feminine characteristics

Leans feminine to me and Fragrantica voters. But it is fairly unisex.
Hi carlos could you comment on this smelling similar to body kouros
Absolutely opposite of Kouros! Kouros is mega masculine, and this one is leaning feminine
oud immortel is legend
I could enjoy this on a man but I don’t like it on me! I bought it because I was in Paris and smelled it at the counter and thought I liked it but I just can’t wear it. It’s too strong.. maybe I’ll change my mind.
Enjoyed the review
Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for watching.
Great stuffs, I love it
😎
Great review!
Thanks G!
In the top 3 Byredo :)
Nice work fellas✌
it's a great frag, just lacks performance
I get average performance, but I don't mind reapplying.
Great review I have been wanting to try this one and Mojave ghost.
I've reviewed that one here too
Bae D'Afrique
Smells VERY similar to Hermes Vetiver Tonka but not as elegant.
Second
Love the bloopers LOL
LOL
First
Not a big fun of this one. It's very mundane, and a bit annoying. It's long lasting. In terms of performance you get your moneys worth.
Bal d afrique is nice smell but so weak, not worth the price in my opinion
"Eau de Burrito!!" I think you're on to something Carlos.😂😘
LOL
