Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique Absolu de Parfum is a richer, more immersive take on the original, inspired by founder Ben Gorham’s deep connection to Africa and its vibrant artistic legacy. This intensified composition heightens the contrast between citrus brightness and velvety warmth, opening with luminous notes of bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant that melt into indulgent hints of praline, violet, and soft musks. At the base, vetiver, cedarwood, and black amber ground the fragrance in smoky, soulful depth. Encased in a reimagined bottle with a Yakisugi-inspired charred wood cap and dual-tone atomiser, the design mirrors the intensity and craftsmanship within. Deeply evocative and irresistibly addictive, this scent is both a personal story and a tribute to cultural beauty.
BYREDO is a modern European luxury house founded in 2006 by Ben Gorham. In contrast to Scandinavian aesthetics, BYREDO carries clear ethnic influences from Ben’s Indian background with strong ties to creativity, art and lifestyle and has established a unique position in the market.
