What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette?
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
A green-floral that refuses to choose between garden and river. Some will reach for it the moment the temperature climbs. Others will catch the blackcurrant leaf and wonder what hit them.L'Ombre Dans L'Eau Eau de Toilette
