What do reviewers say about Earth and Bal d'Afrique?
Earth is the fragrance that smells expensive without announcing it. The truffle is the twist, most won't see it coming, but those who do will know exactly what they're wearing.Earth
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
