    What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Plumes?

    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
    Bay leaf and coconut, florals that don't apologize. Plumes wears its tropical heat like a second skin. Confrontational, yes. Unforgettable, absolutely.Plumes
