What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Morning Rain?
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
Gypsy Water is an icon for a reason. This one doesn't try to outdo it, it does something more useful. Takes that crisp pine-and-smoke spirit and adds a powdery warmth that the original trades away.Morning Rain
