Real talk
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 is for someone who wants to smell like the moment before a storm, not after it. The citrus is confident, not aggressive. The vetiver is the quiet argument, earthy, slightly mineral.Summer Rain
