Real talk
The herbs hit first. Angelica and juniper cutting through sharp and green. Apple arrives to ground it, settling into quiet wood and fir beneath. This isn't safe, it's alive.The Sixth
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
