What do reviewers say about Clifton and Bal d'Afrique?
The powdery iris and warm sandalwood keep it from tipping into pure sweetness. The cardamom opening provides an energetic start, and if you appreciate that initial spiciness, the overall composition.Clifton
This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
