What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Staelios?
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 a safe leather. Davana's intensity cuts through, it has a fiery, liquor-like quality that defies simple description. The violet keeps it from getting too serious.Staelios
