The story
About Bal D'Afrique Eau de Parfum
Opening notes
Inspired by the heady allure of 1920s Paris, this fragrance evokes a jubilant cross-cultural dialogue. The initial burst of sun-warmed bergamot sweeps you into a bright, citrus-infused welcome, harmoniously blended with the subtly spiced, aromatic character of African marigold and buchu. This creates an immediate sensation of exhilarating discovery, a vivid and uniquely exotic overture that captivates the senses. The scent then gracefully evolves into a tender heart of violet and cyclamen, their delicate petals forming a soft, romantic core. This elegant floral interlude bridges the lively beginning with a profound finish, embodying refined charm amidst a whirlwind of cultural energy. The unfolding narrative culminates in a warm, distinguished foundation of earthy vetiver and robust cedar, lending a lingering trail of depth and comforting sensuality. This enduring base ensures a memorable presence from morning into a chic evening.
Purone curation
“Journey through a captivating 1920s Parisian narrative, where African vibrancy intertwines with avant-garde elegance in a sophisticated, floral aroma. A truly enigmatic olfactive experience.”
