Quick take
AI-assisted summary of the notes, prices and community notes listed on this page; no bottle was smelled. How this site is made
Byredo Bal d'Afrique dupes are all backed by seller claims rather than a community-verified consensus, so the field is unranked. The cheapest by volume is Dossier's Ambery Vetiver at $0.88/ml (Eau de Parfum). For the fullest labelling, Oil Perfumery's "impression of Byredo - Bal d'Afrique" (Perfume Oil, $1.33/ml) names the original outright. Dua Fragrances' Paris 1920 Absolu (Parfum Extract) has no price listed.
The data on file lists notes only for the original: Violet, Rose (India), Cedarwood (Atlas), Bergamot and Vetiver. No notes or community feedback are recorded for any of the three dupes, so there's no way from this data to say how closely any of them matches that profile. Buyers are working from seller claims of inspiration alone, not a verified note match.

How to read this table
A seller claim means the clone house itself published that the product is inspired by Bal D'Afrique. We quote the claim; we have not smelled the bottles. A community pairing means the seller does not name the original and the match comes from reviewer consensus, graded close or moderate.
Price per ml is the honest comparison. Perfume oils look cheap per bottle but come in 10 ml vials; a 100 ml Middle-Eastern EDP at $35 is $0.35/ml and usually the strongest performer in the group. Extraits from clone houses sit in between.
