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
The citrus opening is genuinely surprising. It doesn't build, it detonates. Then the warmth underneath keeps it interesting through cooler months, even if spring and summer are where it lives.Supernova
