What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Synthetic Jungle?
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 word 'synthetic' in the name isn't a warning. It's an invitation. This is green pushed past what nature actually does, a hyperreal version of the smell after rain, of leaves crushed between.Synthetic Jungle
