What do reviewers say about Bal d'Afrique and Miss Betty Vair?
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
Named Miss Betty Vair, but the vetiver is a supporting act. The real story is eucalyptus and jasmine, that cool, aromatic opening that slowly softens into powdery florals.Miss Betty Vair
