Real talk
Part of Natura's Ekos collection, this one uses Brazilian botanicals you won't find in most fragrances anywhere else. Victoria amazonica gives the heart an almost contemplative green-floral quality.Ekos Alma
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
