Our Take On It 

Translating memories and emotions into products and experiences, Byredo fragrances reinvent the world of luxury. Inspiration and creation is led by emotions, expressing a full and limitless brand universe. According to founder Ben Gorham, “Bal d’Afrique is one of my earliest fragrances. At the time of its formulation, I was obsessed with the translation of memories into scent. At the same time, I felt confident enough to include an imaginary component. My father lived and travelled in Africa for about 10-15 years. I would read his diaries, the way he travelled on freight ships, met all kinds of different people… For me, this was the fantasy of arriving in Africa through somebody else’s words. Bal d’Afrique reflects that; it’s an imaginary journey as well as a complete celebration of how I see African culture and its influence.” With a focus on beauty and fantasy, Bal D’Afrique is Ben Gorham’s love letter to Africa. It’s a way to sum up and celebrate the reach and influence of Africa through time, particularly the way its myriad cultures have shaped dance, art and music and the idea of an imaginary event.
