What do reviewers say about Way with Woods and Bal d'Afrique?
Snif made this for people who want to smell good, not perform. Way with Woods is the fragrance equivalent of a well-worn linen shirt. Some will want more sillage.Way with Woods
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
