    What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Hesperys?

    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
    Lavender-forward and unapologetic. Chamomile softens the edges, patchouli gives it somewhere to land. If lavender has always read grandmotherly to you, this might be your pivot.Hesperys
