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 the fragrance that fills a room. It's the one you catch yourself, honeysuckle and salt staying close, personal, like you just stepped out of the ocean and haven't dried off yet.Sel Océan
