Byredo Bal D'Afrique Eau De Parfum Spray 100ml

"Bal d'Afrique is one of my first perfumes. In its formulation, I became obsessed with the idea of capturing memories in a scent. At the same time, I felt confident enough to include an imaginary component. My father was living and traveling around Africa for 10 or 15 years. I read his diaries how he traveled on merchant ships and met all kinds of people... For me, it was the fantasy of reaching Africa through the words of another person. It reflects that; it is an imaginary journey and a total celebration of my way of seeing African culture and its influence." Surrounding beauty and fantasy, Bal d'Afrique is Ben Gorham's love letter to Africa. An attempt to summarize and celebrate the reach and influence of Africa over time, especially the way its countless cultures have shaped dance, art and music, the idea of an imaginary fact.
