"Bal d'Afrique is one of my first fragrances. When I created it, I wanted to capture memories in a perfume. At the same time, it was important to me to let an imaginative facet flow into the composition. My father lived and traveled in Africa for over ten years. I read his notes and was inspired by his voyages on cargo ships and his encounters with very different people... It was like traveling through Africa in the words of another person. And that's exactly what I tried to capture in Bal d'Afrique. The fragrance is not only a fantasy journey, but also a homage to African cultures and their influence.”
Ben Gorham pays special tribute to the African continent with Bal d'Afrique, a fragrance full of beauty and creative freedom. This olfactory composition underscores the reach and influence of Africa over time - particularly its myriad cultures that have shaped dance, art and music. A fragrance like a homage to an imaginary festival.
