What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Eau de Gingembre?
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 ginger doesn't apologize for itself. It arrives sharp, bright, almost fizzy, and if you've been burned by "fresh" fragrances that disappear in twenty minutes, this will make you reconsider.Eau de Gingembre
