What do reviewers say about Thé Yulong and Bal d'Afrique?
Thé Yulong is composed and quiet in a way that reads as confident rather than timid. The tea heart is genuine, and the drydown with ambrette and iris is surprisingly clean.Thé Yulong
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
