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
It won't announce itself across a room. But the person next to you will notice, a softness, something green, a pause where perfume usually pushes. If you're after a fragrance that asks to be.Ukiyo-E
