What Is Paris Corner Vibrant Vetiver Delight a Dupe Of?

What is Vibrant Vetiver Delight a clone of?

Paris Corner Vibrant Vetiver Delight is a clone of Byredo Bal d’Afrique EDP. You'll also see it sold under Paris Corner's Emir name. If you're trying to place its mix of citrus, flowers and vetiver, Bal d’Afrique is the comparison to start with.

How do the notes line up?

There's a lot of overlap in the pyramids below. Both include Amalfi lemon, bergamot, black currant and African orange flower in the opening. That's a useful starting point if you like citrus with a floral side, rather than a fragrance built around citrus alone.

The middle notes line up closely too: cyclamen, jasmine and violet appear in both profiles. Those flowers are worth paying attention to when sampling. The name Vibrant Vetiver Delight might have you looking only for vetiver, but the citrus and floral parts are a big part of the listed structure.

At the base, both pyramids list vetiver, musk, Virginia cedar and amber. The woody and musky notes give you another clear link between the two. We'd compare how that base sits alongside the flowers as the scents settle, instead of judging the pair only from the first spray.

A matching note name doesn't tell us how much of it is in a fragrance or how it will come across on your skin. These lists make the pairing easy to follow, but a side-by-side sample is still the best way to decide which balance you prefer.

Which Bal d’Afrique?

The reference here is Bal d’Afrique Eau de Parfum. Byredo also sells an Absolu de Parfum, a hair perfume and a body mist under the Bal d’Afrique name. They're separate products, so check the edition as well as the name when buying the original.

On the Paris Corner side, look for Vibrant Vetiver Delight. Other fragrances in the Vibrant range have their own profiles and aren't covered by this comparison.

Is Vibrant Vetiver Delight worth considering?

We'd put it on the shortlist if you enjoy floral, woody fragrances with citrus or want to explore a Bal d’Afrique alternative. If vetiver is new to you, try a sample and give it time to develop alongside the floral notes.
