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 tropical without apology. The passion fruit opens loud and sweet, the kind of fragrance that announces itself before you've even made it to the car.San Ysidro Drive
