A tribute to the personal memories of founder Ben Gorham and the intense artistic influence of African culture, this reinterpretation elevates the gourmand notes of Bal d'Afrique to an addictive level, with a heart of sweet praline.
Bergamot, lemon, and blackcurrant provide a powerful freshness before transitioning into praline, soft musk, and violet. A woody accord of cedarwood and vetiver adds depth and drama to the base, while warm black amber intensifies the sweet nuances until the finish. Absolu de Parfum is presented in a redesigned bottle – a tribute to masterful craftsmanship.
In an expression of depth and transformation, the structured cap, inspired by yakisugi, the Japanese art of charring wood, opens to reveal the silver and gold atomizer. This refined detail complements the elemental design of the bottle, whose clean lines and curved shape impressively showcase the intense color of the fragrance.
