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
Aldehydes usually smell like perfume. Here they smell like morning, clean, close, skin-warm. Paired with chamomile and that unexpected cereal note, it's the kind of composition that either clicks.Puppy
