Bal dAfrique 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.

Bal dAfrique reflects that; its an imaginary journey as well as a complete celebration of how I see African culture and its influence. – Ben Gorham
