The fragrance opens with a bright yet slightly creamy citrus harmony—bergamot and marigold tinged with green buchu—creating a vibrant, sunny introduction.

Often described as “liquid sunshine,” Bal d’Afrique evokes vivid joy and nostalgic warmth. It’s frequently hailed as perfectly balanced between freshness and rich sensuality—bright enough for summer days yet understated enough for cooler evenings.
