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
Rum in a fragrance either hooks you or doesn't. If it does, this is the one worth owning, nutmeg keeps it honest, patchouli keeps it interesting, cedar keeps it warm.Heavenly Wood
