Real talk
The citrus opening is clean in a way that earns its confidence. This isn't the fragrance that fills a room. It's the one someone notices when you're already gone.Vol d'Hirondelle
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
