What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Lost In The City?
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
The rhubarb snaps, pink, tart. Then it softens. The Earl Grey does the quiet work underneath, keeping the composition grounded and approachable. It's a fragrance that stands out through character.Lost In The City
