Inspired by founder Ben Gorham's personal connection to Africa, particularly his father's experiences traveling and living there, Ben Gorham crafted Bal dÕAfrique as both an imaginary journey and a celebration of Africa's rich cultural impact on dance, art, and music.

Intensifying the gourmand aspect of Bal dÕAfrique, this reimagined composition heightens the contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth, offering a richer, more addictive experience.

Beyond the fragrance, the homage to craftsmanship is reflected in the newly redesigned Absolu de Parfum bottle. The textured cap, inspired by Yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, embodies the deep intensity, transformation, and enduring strength that mirrors the essence of the Absolu. The silver and gold atomizer spray, with its industrial edge, complements the bottleÕs elemental design and the clean curves of the glass. Within the bottle, the hue of the Absolu de Parfum is intensified, offering a visual hint at the rich concentration of fragrance inside.
