What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Balinese Coconut?
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
Tropical coconut fragrances have been done before. This one just does it better, creamy and warm, with white florals that don't overwhelm. Polished enough to justify wearing.Balinese Coconut
