What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Rosae Mundi?
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 rose-patchouli-vetiver structure has been done. Done well, though, and rarely this concentrated. Profumum Roma's oil-heavy formulations mean Rosae Mundi performs like a $300 fragrance even if it.Rosae Mundi
