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
Not for the overthinkers or the maximalists, this one strips everything back to clean, deliberate lines. Its final act is a quiet study of dry cedar and powdery iris.Chapter 5
