    What do reviewers say about Bond No. 9 Dubai Citrine and Bal d'Afrique?

    Sweet enough to flirt, dry enough to mean it. The red berries keep it from getting too serious, while the vetiver keeps it from getting too sweet. That balance earns attention.Bond No. 9 Dubai Citrine
    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
