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
This isn't a fragrance that fills a room, it's the one someone catches when they're close enough to matter. Bergamot and raspberry open clean, then iris, jasmine.This is Not Oxytocin
