Korrigan vs Bal d'Afrique

Korrigan is a polarizing fragrance within the community. Experienced collectors praise it as a reliable everyday niche fragrance that garners compliments, while some find it derivative and overly reliant on common sweet accords like tonka and ethyl maltol. It appeals most to those who already appreciate Lubin's house style and warm vanilla-based compositions.

Bal d'Afrique is widely praised for its beautiful, unique scent profile with fresh citrus and creamy sweetness, making it an excellent signature fragrance for warm weather. However, the community consensus is tempered by significant concerns about poor longevity and weak projection, which many feel don't justify its premium price, recommending samples before purchase.
