What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Eau De Magnolia?
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
Magnolia sounds like grandmothers and weddings. This isn't. A vetiver-forward structure keeps it clean, dry, almost spare, like a fragrance that peaked in a meeting room, not a ballroom.Eau De Magnolia
