What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Minted?
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
This one does not announce itself. Moderate sillage means it is for you, not the room. The mint recedes over time, and the green jasmine drydown is worth staying for.Minted
