Bal d’Afrique — Extrait 45%

Rhythmic and deeply composed, this fragrance creates a sense of movement held in steady balance, where freshness and warmth coexist without tension. Its character is built on the contrast between energy and calm, forming a presence that feels alive yet controlled.

In the 45% Extrait concentration, the composition reaches a rare level of richness, becoming denser and more tactile without losing its dynamic character. After extended ageing, the fragrance settles into an even, balanced development, gaining depth and softness while preserving its rhythm.

The opening unfolds with a citrus-driven impulse accented by floral nuances, creating a sensation of warmth and motion. The initial phase is clear and energetic, setting a directed and open progression.

At the heart, an earthy–floral accord with powdery nuances of violet and cyclamen emerges, bringing balance and inner stability to the composition. The base is built on warm woody notes and soft musk, leaving a long-lasting, enveloping and tactile trail.

At such a high concentration, the fragrance does not aim for a sharp or aggressive sillage. It develops close and steadily, unfolding with confidence and restraint, creating an impression of depth, composure, and stability.

What Makes Extrait 45% Exceptional?

A 45% concentration takes the fragrance beyond the boundaries of a classic extrait. Here, not only the amount of aromatic material but also the ageing process plays a decisive role, allowing the composition to achieve balance, stability, and cohesion.
