Dossier · Our pick
Ambery Vetiver holds the amber and vetiver heart faithfully, with a softer base and more modest longevity.

Our take
Bal d'Afrique opens with sparkling citrus and bitter-green marigold over a heart of violet, cyclamen and jasmine. Vetiver, cedar, amber and musk give it a dry, sunny warmth that wears softly close to the skin.
