Real talk
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 isn't the aquatic that wants you to like it. The chlorine opening arrives with presence. Vetiver and anise together create unexpected tension. The combination sets this apart from more.Eau Mer
