Fakhar Rose

I got this in a set with Mayar & Haya for around $50. I thought I would not like this one bc of the heavy tuberose. To me that equated to older fragrance profiles I didn’t like in the past. Well, of the 3 in my set, this is by far my favorite. No resting time necessary, beast out of the box. This is so dang good, I feel like a woman when I wear her. I prefer to wear out at night bc it is too strong for day wear in our heat. I will wear this Fall/Winter in the day bc it is a year round fragrance due to the potency. I now love tuberose and that has influenced many of my fragrance purchases. This was just such a pleasant surprise and I will make sure to keep her in my collection. This is a classy, expensive smelling, beautiful fragrance. It evokes confidence from me when I wear bc I just feel pretty and know I smell pretty.

When I initially received this, I sprayed it several times before testing it on my skin. My first impression was "Yes!" this smells very close to how I remembered L'Interdit. However, I tried it two more times and it did not smell as close. I am wondering how accurate the notes listed are as they are (mostly) not the same as those listed for L'Interdit. I have just tested this again and while I like the scent, it is not a love. I can clearly smell the jasmine and tuberose and possibly some rose. On me, it smells like a sweet floral with a very faint musk, but I am not smelling any vanilla. A relatively safe fragrance for the office if used lightly. It quickly sits close to the skin and doesn't project much after a short time, again, if not over sprayed. If you like heavy sweet florals, this might be a safe blind buy.

I really liked this when i first got it, it was the first perfume that I bought for myself. All other perfumes I owned before were gifted to me as a teenager and I wanted something similar but a bit more ‘grown up’. This was a perfect first purchase. Smelt very bubblegummy sweet on the first spray (but not juvenile) and settled down into a smell that reminds me faintly of a temple, so I thought that there might be some sort of incense note in this. Maybe it’s the sandalwood? Idk i’m still new to identifying notes. Interestingly I once sprayed this in my room and my sister came in soon after and asked if I’d been smoking.

This is such a lovely fragrance. I was quite worried by that grape note that so many people mentioned it, which it's there, for like five seconds, but then fades away and I get some creamy pear with ylang-ylang, a faint pomegranate smell (more like the peel of it), the lily and the tuberose are quite strong in this, gardenia is potent too, the honeysuckle is mild, and the jasmine is there, but like a quiet whisper. Sometimes I get whiffs of some very delicate white rose. It's like you carry a bouquet of white flowers with you. This is a crowd pleaser. Definitely my summer scent.

As someone who has L'interdit as her wedding fragrance and fell in love so much she decided to buy every Linterdit perfume form Givenchy.
