Composition of the fragrance
The top notes of the fragrance composition are dominated by sparkling notes of bergamot in perfect harmony with floral notes of marigold and the buchu plant. A powdery softness is brought to the composition by violet flower, cyclamen and jasmine. The sharp edges of vetiver are smoothed off by soft white musk, amber and cedarwood.
Story of the fragrance
The Byredo Bal D’Afrique Eau de Parfum is a fragrance inspired by Paris in the 1920s, which was fascinated by African art and the rhythms of its music and dance. African influences blended into the culture of the French avant-garde and this connection led to colourful, unbridled artistic expression.
