Inspired by founder Ben Gorham's personal connection to Africa, particularly his father's experiences travelling and living there, Ben Gorham crafted Bal d'Afrique as both an imaginary journey and a celebration of Africa's rich cultural impact on dance, art, and music. Intensifying the gourmand aspect of Bal d'Afrique, this reimagined composition heightens the contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth, offering a richer, more addictive experience. Notes of bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant offer a bold vibrance, melting into the sweetness of praline, musks, and violet, and finishing on a dramatic base of cedar, vetiver, and warm black amber. Beyond the fragrance, the homage to craftsmanship is reflected in the newly redesigned Absolu de Parfum bottle. The textured cap, inspired by Yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, embodies the deep intensity, transformation, and enduring strength that mirrors the essence of the Absolu. The silver and gold atomiser spray, with its industrial edge, complements the bottle's elemental design and the clean curves of the glass. Within the bottle, the hue of the Absolu de Parfum is intensified, offering a visual hint at the rich concentration of fragrance inside. Woody Genderless Notes: Top: Bergamot, Lemon, Black Currant Heart: Musks, Praline, Violet Base: Black Amber, Cedarwood, Vetiver How to use: To be sprayed on the skin and/or clothes.
