Byredo fragrances are super hot in the beauty industry right now and they are bringing their innovation one step further with the Byredo Kabuki Perfume range. This features a new fragrance format, and ritual, that’s not only enjoyable but also very practical. I have the gorgeous Bal d’Afrique kabuki to show you here.
This is not a traditional fragrance and if you are the type that’s constantly on the hunt for something different, then I think this will really do it for you. I love the black glossy tube it comes in.
You remove the lid, reveal the brush, click the big button (Touche Eclat-style) and then dust it on to your wrists, neck, decolletage – anywhere you fancy. It feels very glam and sophisticated, in a old-school kind of way, and the brush is super soft and luxurious.
Byredo Kabuki Perfume Features
- Housed in a retractable brush
- Micro-fine powder diffuses the fragrance
- One click delivers the right amount of powder on to the skin
- Can be layered over the traditional perfume spray
- Available in three scents – Bal d’Afrique, Gypsy Water and Blanche
There’s something about a fragrance as gorgeous as this in a powder format that makes it instantly blend with the skin in a soft and smooth way. There’s never that feeling when the top note can be a little harsh and overpowering. It arrives in a soft, skin-like haze.
Byredo Kabuki Perfume – Bal d’Afrique Notes
I have Bal d’Afrique which I love. Here are the notes.
- Top notes – Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, African Marigold and Buchu Essence
- Heart notes – Violet, Jasmine, and Cyclamen
- Base notes – Black Amber, Musk, Vetiver and Atlas Cedar
It is a softer take than the original spray and you may find that it doesn’t last as long as a traditional fragrance, but it has been designed to be reapplied and become part of a self-care ritual. Love it.
The lightweight packaging means you can throw it in your handbag to keep perfectly fragrant throughout the day and night. Also, it makes a great hair freshener come soft dry shampoo! I just brushed it though my parting.
The Byredo Kabuki Perfume is available HERE now for £42.
