OrientalWhat does Le Bain - Secrète Afrique smell like?
The notes read as one whole rather than a sequence of layers. Citrus fruits give it a fresh, fruity brightness, while ginger adds a spicy edge on top. Patchouli and cedar settle that brightness onto a woody base, with green and lightly sweet touches in between and a faint oriental warmth in the background.
