What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Bonbons A La Violette?
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 name says bonbons. The scent says something else entirely. A bold, green violet over thick amber-vanilla creates something that refuses to stay safely sweet.Bonbons A La Violette
