Byredo Bal D'Afrique Eau De Parfum
Bal d’Afrique is one of my earliest fragrances. At the time of its formulation, I was obsessed with the translation of memories into scent. At the same time, I felt confident enough to include an imaginary component. My father lived and travelled in Africa for about 10-15 years. I would read his diaries; the way he travelled on freight ships, met all kinds of different people… For me, this was the fantasy of arriving in Africa through somebody else’s words.
- Top: African Marigold, Bergamot, Buchu
- Heart: Cyclamen, Violet
-
Base: Cedarwood, Vetiver
