What do reviewers say about Coeur Couronne and Bal d'Afrique?
Davana is the gambit here, an herbal, slightly medicinal note that most brands bury. Coeur Couronne puts it front and center. The result is sweet enough to attract, bitter enough to intrigue.Coeur Couronne
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
