Bal d'Afrique by Byredo is a symphony of bright, juicy aromas that come together to form an extraordinary composition, transcending the boundaries of time of day and gender. This fragrance whispers rather than shouts, exuding a confident, attractive aura that is subtly compelling.
The scent boasts impressive longevity, lasting several hours, yet it remains easy to perceive. Each individual will discern their unique notes within it, making the fragrance a personal experience.
Bal d’Afrique is one of Ben Gorham's earliest fragrances, born from his fascination with translating memories into scent and incorporating elements of the imagined. Inspired by his father's travels and experiences in Africa over a decade, Gorham was captivated by the stories of his father's adventures, the people he met, and the freight ship journeys he undertook. Bal d’Afrique is a reflection of this fascination; it's an imaginary journey and a complete celebration of Gorham's perception of African culture and its influence.
Bal d'Afrique is Gorham's 'love letter' to Africa, focusing on beauty and fantasy. It aims to encapsulate and celebrate Africa's impact over time, particularly how its diverse cultures have shaped dance, art, and music. The fragrance is inspired by the concept of an imaginary event, a testament to the enduring influence of Africa.
