The Parisian woman is devoted to pleasure. Provocative emancipated and liberated she embodies eccentricity and a love of all things new. Such is the craze for Africa jazz the Charleston the success of Josephine Baker in 1925 in La Revue Ngre and that of the “Croisirme Noire” by Andre Citron across the African continent. Bal d’Afrique the latest addition to the Byredo collection of perfumes is produced under the artistic direction of Ben Gorham. And because sensations and fragrances have the power to transport us into a world both familiar and foreign Ben Gorham manages to convey his own vision of the Roaring Twenties. The prestigious nose Jerme pinette from Robertet knew how to make this perfume happen. Breathe in an enveloping and romantic vetiver inspired by 1920 Paris and its extraordinary fascination for art music and dance. A unique and brilliant mix of the Parisian avant-garde and African culture the combination of neroli African tagete and Moroccan cedar wood divinely expresses the intense lifestyle excesses and euphoria of the time.Top notes: African marigold bergamot buchu
