    Real talk

    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
    Built for the person who doesn't need the room to notice. Fresh and green upfront, rooted in something real. Others project. This one stays close and confident.Assolo
