What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and The New Paradise?
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
Moderate sillage is a feature, not a flaw. This fragrance arrives with you rather than ahead of you, present without being overwhelming. It fills intimate spaces without dominating them.The New Paradise
