Bal d'Afrique
Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
A sun-drenched floral with an African soul. Named after a Parisian dance hall and built around the marigolds of sub-Saharan Africa, Bal d'Afrique is warm, joyful, and unexpectedly elegant.
African marigold and blackcurrant open with a bright, slightly fruity edge before cyclamen, jasmine, and violet bloom at the heart — floral without being heavy. Tonka bean, cedarwood, and vetiver settle into a warm, grounded dry-down that wears beautifully across all seasons. At 30% concentration this is Bal d'Afrique with the longevity to match its character.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 10 to 16 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrance will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
