BYREDO Bal d'Afrique Absolu EDP 50 ml Inspired by his connection with Africa, particularly due to the travels and years his father spent living there, Ben Gorham conceived Bal d’Afrique both as an imaginary journey and as a celebration of Africa’s profound cultural impact on dance, art, and music. This reinterpretation elevates the contrast between the bright lightness and irresistible depth of Bal d’Afrique, intensifying its gourmand characteristics for a richer and more overwhelming experience. Notes of bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant release a vibrant intensity that blends with the sweetness of praline, musks, and violet, then finishes on a powerful base of cedar, vetiver, and warm black amber. In addition to the fragrance, the new Absolu de Parfum bottle is also a tribute to craftsmanship. The tactile cap is inspired by Yakisugi (the Japanese art of wood charring) and reflects the essence of Absolu, characterized by profound intensity, transformation, and lasting strength. With its gold and silver industrial design, the spray completes the simple design and clean curves of the glass bottle. Inside the bottle, the intense shade of Absolu de Parfum offers a visual clue to the fragrance’s rich concentration.
