This little round box contains two benefits to your skin: moisture and perfume. And not just any perfume, it contains Bal d'Afrique. No more, no less. It is perhaps the best-known perfume by BYREDO. 

With Bal d’Afrique Gorham pays tribute to his father, who lived and worked in Africa for more than a decade. This is a compendium of the stories his father told about the continent, with a little imaginary twist. Gorham says that "Bal d'Afrique is an imaginary journey, as well as a complete celebration of how I see African culture and its influence." This fragrance is a twofold love letter: one to his father, one to Africa.  

Bal d'Afrique is easy, warm. It is citric, floral, and aromatic. It is a bit of everything, like everything BYREDO. This is a floral scent, very bright at first, sparkling and then turning to violet and jasmine. There is an unmistakable vetiver background. Contains 20% shea butter.  

Using this cream is another for to perfume our skin. The aroma impregnates everything that comes in contact with it. This is what contemporary luxury should be.

OLFACTORY NOTES:

• Top: bergamot, lemon, neroli, African calendula and buchu.
