What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Epupa Mon Amour?
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
Cumin makes people nervous. Good. That grain of wild is exactly what separates this from every polished amber-wood in the rack. The smoke, the warmth, the persistent character that stays with you.Epupa Mon Amour
