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 vetiver is the tell. It arrives earthy and mineral, held in check by tonka bean's sweetness and a quiet iris powder. That's the balance reviewers keep returning to, sweet enough to be wearable.Nuit de Megeve
