    Real talk

    Here's the thing about coumarin, that hay-like sweetness. Most fragrances bury it beneath other notes. Perpetua lets it breathe. Some will call it the best part. Others won't know what hit them.Perpetua
    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
