The inspiration for this fragrance based on vetiver was Paris in the late twenties, because of its affinity for African art and culture and its enthusiasm for African music and dance. Gorham wanted to create an interpretation of a warm and romantic vetiver, a mix of Parisian modernity and African culture. A dynamic and unique fragrance in its expression and declaration that reflects the euphoria and the excessive lifestyle if the time in all its intensity.
Bal d'Afrique is a fragrance on vetiver unusual and atypical. The head notes, citrusy and unknown, lead to a heart very nice and flattering that extends into deeper base notes. An airy spicy, aromatic and indefinable in harmony with floral notes supported by a little woody and amber heat accompanied by a subtle, sweet and smoky vetiver. Bal d'Afrique is an aura rather than a perfume that deepens and balances exotic promises and familiarity in really exceptional way. Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, African Marigold, Bucchu Middle notes: Violet, Jasmine Petals, Cyclamen Base notes: Black Amber, Musk, Vetiver, Cedarwood Moroccan

"The artist is a seer, one who goes beyond sensations and appearances, often is not understood by others..." Charles Baudelaire was certainly an artist: his contempt for society and for people, his passion for meditation or, perhaps, loneliness, led him to be the character he was: gloomy, austere, often depicted with a book in hand, cigar or pipe in mouth, sitting in a room with little, very little light. Imagine to be in that room now, with very little light, he is not there, we are lucky: if he was here he would have probably chased us away in a badly way, perhaps with a couple of curses in tow. We raise our eyes and see nothing, everything is covered by this disturbing darkness. We are looking for something, do not know what. Here it is, it is a black leather armchair, old and worn, but somehow elegant. We touch it and look for his scent, here it is, we feel it, it is intriguing, engaging and ethereal at the same time. We acknowledge it, it is the one that the writer has described in "Les Fleurs du Mal." We recognize the top notes of juniper berries and black pepper, then the incense and leather and finally the papyrus, patchouli and black amber. Here it is that "..lazy island to which nature has provided bizarre trees and tasty fruit, men with thin and vigorous limbs, women with the gaze of a miserable courage..." Here it is, enclosed in a perfume, the picture told in that masterpiece of literature. That's the genius of Ben Gorham that with Baudelaire crown the success of Byredo." Composition: juniper berries, black pepper, caraway, frankincense, hyacinth, leather, papyrus, patchouli, amber black.

"The idea of Blanche is, as the name suggests, built around my perception of white. For the first time I really made a fragrance with a specific person in mind. I wanted to capture her innocent and spotless aspect, with a fragrance almost transparent in nature. Blanche is also an appreciation for classic beauty. The fragrance is pure and simple in its structure but great in character." - BG Gorham sees Blanche as the beginning of the day when the sunlight fills the still cool morning air, permeating its way into the room through the curtains of light linen and leaving light strips on wooden floorboards. The soft diffused sunlight caresses "hes" white shoulder, touching her cheek and illuminating hes silhouette. From afar, you can hear the laughter of children from another room. A new day begins and every opportunity is opening before us. A romantic description for a romantic scent. Blanche is the gloss purity, a fragrance like newly washed linen sheets, stretched and dried by the sun of early morning. Blanche is a perfume essential for those who love this kind of fragrance Top notes: white rose, pink pepper and aldehyde Middle notes: violet, neroli, peony Base notes: blond wood, sandalwood and musk.

Originally a place for picnics outside of Mumbai, Chembur is the place where Ben Gorham's mother was born and grew up. Ben often visited the place as a child. After 15 years, he returned there to discover that this was completely changed and evolved. Only one thing remained unchanged, the smell from a nearby Hindu temple that floated gently to the landscape. The mild, spicy aroma filled the air, awakening childhood memories of Ben at home and with family. Sweet incense accompanied by spicy nutmeg, hot and smoky resin, fruity ginger, amber and a hint of fresh citrus. A warm and relaxing fragrance for moments of contemplation. Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Elemi Heart Note: Ginger, Incense of the Temple, Nutmeg Base notes: Labdanum, Amber, Musk

The first meeting that Ben Gorham had with fragrances dates back to when, for the first time, smelt the perfume that his father used to wear during the '70s and '80s. Green was thus created as a tribute and a souvenir: a modern realization and an unusual interpretation of the exuberance of green notes that Gorham associated with his father.
Green is, as the name suggests, green. A soft and green scent, decorated with floral notes and a hint of the Hesperides that evokes the image of a summer lawn grew wildly. Green becomes softer as it grows and has a clean evolution, almost soapy, that radiates a subtle qualitiy similar to the skin, combined in the base with a constant heat.
The really consistent green scents are very rare and Green is not only satisfying, but it also stands out from the pile, with its floral quality, soapy, clean. A very special fragrance.
Top notes: Orange petitgrain, sage
Middle notes: Jasmine, Rose, Honeysuckle, Violet
Base notes: Tonka Almond, Musk

When Ben Gorham lived in Italy, he often to observed the Romany while washing clothes in the river nearby. Gypsy Water is exactly the result of the fascination that Gorham has towards the Romany people and their lifestyle. The perfume itself is a tribute to their free and independent life, proud and colorful, in harmony with nature. Gypsy Water evokes images of fresh earth, deep woods and campfires, and is a fitting tribute to the ancient myth of Romany life.
An appointment of the Hesperides and pepper in top notes, accompanied by fruit, spicy juniper berries that lead to a smoky-woody heart: incense, pine needles and iris create the impression of forests and fires, while a base of vanilla and amber sandalwood evokes images of colorful and animated embers.
A wildly romantic notion and a wild, romantic scent.
Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Pepper, Juniper
Middle notes: Incense, Pine Needles, Iris
Base notes: Amber, Vanilla, Sandalwood
