**Amélie in New York Presents: Afrique**

A celebration of rhythm, warmth, and boundless spirit, Afrique is a fragrance that dances between light and shadow, tradition and modernity. Inspired by Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique, this scent is a journey through golden landscapes, vibrant markets, and the intoxicating pulse of a continent rich with history and passion.

The opening is alive with energy—a burst of Amalfi lemon and bergamot, sun-kissed and radiant, their citrus brightness mingling with the golden spice of marigold. The sweetness of black currant weaves through, rich and ripe, while African orange flower blooms in the air, capturing the effortless sensuality of warm nights beneath endless skies.

As the scent deepens, a floral heart emerges, soft yet striking. Violet and cyclamen create a delicate interplay of powdery freshness and aquatic lightness, while jasmine adds a subtle, intoxicating allure. This is the scent of a city at dusk, where the laughter of the day fades into the mystery of the evening, where tradition meets the avant-garde in an electric embrace.

The base settles into something deeper, more grounded—a rich, velvety blend of vetiver and musk, their earthy sensuality heightened by the warmth of amber. Virginia cedar lingers in the background, woody and refined, a quiet reminder of the strength and elegance that defines Afrique.

This fragrance is a love letter to a continent that inspires through its contrasts—raw and refined, bold and graceful, rooted in heritage yet always moving forward. Afrique is not just a scent; it is a rhythm, a pulse, a feeling that lingers long after the moment has passed.

Let it take you there. Feel the warmth. Live the story.
