What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and *#@% Boy?
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 wants you to expect chaos. What arrives is restraint, a tropical that doesn't shout. It's the kind of scent someone wears when they don't need you to know it.*#@% Boy
