Real talk
The citrus is the hook. That blackcurrant opening hits like an unexpected yes, tart, bright, a little too honest. But the violet and cedar that follow? That's why people reach for this bottle twice.Counting Stars
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
