Inspired by founder Ben Gorham's personal connection to Africa, particularly his father's experiences traveling 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. The Absolu de Parfum revisits Bal d’Afrique’s olfactory signature with a new intensity, heightening the contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth, offering a richer, more addictive experience. ​ Bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant maintain the brightness at the top, before melting into the addictive sweetness of praline, musks, and violet at the heart. Woody notes of cedar and vetiver, paired with warm black amber add depth to the base, leaving a lasting impression of warmth that lingers like a cherished memory. ​
