Bal d Afrique Eau de Parfum

Launched in 2009, Bal d'Afrique is an iconic floral woody musk fragrance that pays homage to the enduring influence of Africa on dance, art, and music. Created by master perfumer Jerome Epinette, this genderless scent is a vibrant and warm olfactory journey inspired by the travel diaries of Byredo founder Ben Gorham’s father during his time in Africa.

The fragrance opens with a luminous, sparkling freshness of bergamot, the bright floral touch of African marigold, and the rich juiciness of blackcurrant, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy. South African Buchu adds a unique, aromatic greenness. At its heart, a delicate floral bouquet of cyclamen, jasmine petals, and violet unfolds, offering a refined, powdery elegance. The composition settles into a warm, sensual, and long‑lasting base of tonka bean absolue, cedarwood, musks, and vetiver, leaving an addictive, woody trail on the skin.

Bal d'Afrique is a modern classic that balances freshness with depth, making it suitable for all occasions and seasons. Its medium intensity and exceptional longevity have earned it a devoted following worldwide.
