See What People Think

A warm and romantic vetiver inspired by Paris in the late 1920s and its infatuation with African culture, art, music and dance. A mix of Parisian avant-gardism and African culture shaped a unique and vibrant expression. The intense life, the excess and euphoria is illustrated by Bal d'Afrique's neroli, African marigold and Moroccan cedarwood. This fragrance captures the spirit of an era defined by artistic exploration and cultural fusion.
