What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Gucci Garden?
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
This is a powdery violet fragrance. Not green, not fresh, powdery. That means it reads as soft, a little nostalgic, slightly vintage in feel. If that's what you're after, it executes beautifully.Gucci Garden
