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
Oro Verde takes a different path than typical aquatics. Cannabis, mate, and vetiver add an herbal, almost medicinal coolness that grounds the freshness and gives the scent unexpected depth.Oro Verde
