Citrus Batikanga doesn't play it safe. The chili doesn't apologize, the rhubarb doesn't soften, and the vetiver-myrrh base refuses to fade quietly at all.Citrus Batikanga
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
