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
The tennis ball note is a flex. Either you're in or you're not. It won't soften for you, won't explain itself. What you get instead: green grass, cotton flower.Crush Balls
