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
Oakmoss takes center stage here, functioning as the backbone of the composition. It's the damp, green, actual moss underfoot rather than a mossy note in a list.Sweetbriar & Moss
