<b>WHAT IT IS</b><br><br>Bal d'Afrique Absolu reimagines the iconic Byredo scent with a more gourmand intensity, heightening the contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth, paying tribute to founder Ben Gorham's personal memories and the vibrant artistic influence of African culture. This reinterpretation elevates the gourmand notes of Bal d'Afrique to an addictive level, all surrounding a heart of sweet praline. Notes of bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant offer a bold vibrance before melting into praline, sweet musks, and violet. A woody blend of cedar and vetiver adds depth and drama to the base, with warm black amber extending the gourmand push of the praline right to the very end. The Absolu de Parfum is held in a redesigned bottle, an homage to craftsmanship. Embodying the deep intensity and transformation, the textured cap, inspired by Yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, opens to reveal the silver and gold atomizer spray, complementing the bottle&#8217;s elemental design and the clean curves of the glass that show the intense color of the fragrance within.
