Summary
Summary
Bal d'Afrique balances bright citrus and green aromatics with soft florals, musk and dry woods. Bergamot and blackcurrant give the opening lift and fruit while buchu and African marigold add a distinctive herbal-green edge. Cyclamen, jasmine petals and violet soften the center without turning the fragrance especially sweet. Tonka bean absolue and musks smooth the drydown as cedarwood and vetiver keep the base polished, earthy and lightly woody.
