Byredo bal d'afrique perfume. 50ml "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.
