Bal d'Afrique Absolu is a reinterpretation of the iconic fragrance, with a more gourmand intensity, accentuating the contrast between vibrant lightness and addictive depth. A true tribute to founder Ben Gorham's personal memories and the artistic influence of African culture.

This reinterpretation sublimates the gourmand notes of Bal d'Afrique to the point of addiction, articulated around a heart of sweet praline. Notes of bergamot, lemon and blackcurrant bring a bold vibrancy before melting into praline, sweet musk and violet.  A woody trio of cedar, vetiver and tonka bean adds depth and intensity to the base, while warm black amber extends the gourmand trail of praline.

L'Absolu de Parfum is unveiled in a redesigned bottle, a true tribute to exceptional craftsmanship. Its textured cap, inspired by Yakisugi - the Japanese art of burning wood - embodies the intensity and transformation at the heart of this creation. The cap reveals a silver-gold spray, in perfect harmony with the sleek design of the glass bottle, which reveals the intense color of the perfume Show less
