Good alternative
Well, Fascination is quite clearly in the Richwood direction, but you notice immediately that the quality is not at the same level as Xerjoff or Grand Soir. Nevertheless, it makes quite an impression.

The sandalwood is much more in the foreground here - creamier, softer, almost the main theme. There is also a sweet, ambery touch reminiscent of Grand Soir. Basically, it feels like a mixture of both fragrances, but just more simply knitted.

Performance is exciting: for the first 5 hours, it is really radiant and easily fills the room. After that, however, it flattens out considerably and remains rather close to the skin. For the price, it's actually really okay if you like this style.

If you love Richwood or Grand Soir, you won't find a 1:1 alternative here - but a cheaper, sandalwood-heavy blend that really pops and then fades out quickly.

A woody, soapy rose fragrance
Fascination is the second fragrance from Emir (which belongs to Paris Corner) that I was able to test after Cherry Cola. I was completely unfamiliar with the fragrance, as it hasn't received too much attention so far.
Once again, my thanks go to "Garnele" who was kind enough to provide me with his bottle so that I could test this perfume.

The fragrance starts directly with a very intense, fresh, sweet and powdery rose that immediately reminds me of a high-quality rose soap. The rose is accompanied by fruity notes of bergamot and blackcurrant. The bergamot provides a pleasant freshness, while blackcurrant, which is more present, contributes a slightly sweet and sour nuance.

After some time, the fragrance becomes woodier.
Patchouli comes to the fore, giving the perfume a spicy and slightly earthy scent. Labdanum is also present, giving Fascination a warm, balsamic and slightly resinous depth.
Tonka bean is added in the drydown. It brings a spicy, warm sweetness into play that is slightly reminiscent of caramel and vanilla.

For me, the soapy rose remains the focus throughout the fragrance and is the note that characterizes the fragrance.

"Fascination" is an extrait de parfum, which is reflected in its good longevity and sillage. I perceive the fragrance intensely for several hours.
P/L is top, as it is available for relatively little money.

I perceive the fragrance as unisex.
Despite the soapy-powdery sweet rose, the woody notes do not make it too feminine.

To summarize, Fascination is a sweet, slightly fresh, woody and warm-spicy rose fragrance that I liked. However, I personally am not a big fan of intense rose fragrances, which is why I won't be buying a bottle.
Nevertheless, I think that the fragrance smells very classy and high-quality and will appeal to many who like this type of scent.
