What do reviewers say about Vert Reseda and Bal d'Afrique?
This is the fragrance for someone who wants green without the whole forest. The galbanum hits first, bright, sharp, immediate, then quietly hands off to flowers.Vert Reseda
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
