Parisian Chic
Nina Ricci: The name stands for dreamy fashion creations and romantic fragrances.
A name that announces beauty and romance, but also raises expectations.
But what a dreamily beautiful chypre creature meets me behind the name "Farouche": Lavishly rich, full of feminine elegance - Parisian chic, captured in a stunningly beautiful bottle.
And here she comes, this "Chypre Lady": Surrounded by aldehydes, strolling through richly scented fruit and flower gardens, and finally grounded in woody and mossy dampness.
The glow of the aldehydes, together with the lively freshness of bergamot and mandarin as well as the velvety sweetness of peach, hints at the time of this fragrance on the grand, slightly galbanum-smoky stage:
Back then, aldehyde fireworks not only shimmered around the fruity entrance of chypre fragrances, they accompanied their scent development to the often enchanting finale.
Thus, the lavish floral aromas are also radiantly accompanied here.
What wealth is presented to the eye and the senses:
Spicy-scented garden carnations with their pink-tipped tutus, noble, slender irises, and ripe roses accompanied by classic white flowers:
Sensual jasmine, intoxicating lilies, and charming cheeky lily of the valley belong to a chypre fragrance masterpiece just like bergamot and oak moss.
Honeysuckle, with its slightly rustic scent charm, entwines all it can reach with its long, flower-laden arms.
Delightfully feminine, these scent notes weave through the existing fabric called "Farouche".
How well the spiciness of rose geranium, clary sage, and cardamom fits into this weave.
Interestingly dosed spice is a refined enhancement of any graceful floral garden scent.
Here, too, it shows the way to the base with the already mentioned rich oak moss, sandalwood and vetiver classics, and a decorative musk and amber scent veil, interspersed with fine resinous scent fires and aldehyde fireflies.
Classically beautiful, the scent journey of "Farouche" concludes.
The Nina Ricci brand has once again succeeded in creating one of its remarkable fragrance creations.
One should not compare them all to the grand romantic heart fragrance "L’Air du Temps"; here, no Lalique doves coo and peck:
"Farouche" is a mature fragrance personality in splendid tones that is truly worth getting to know.
Charming in sillage and longevity, with time for the development of all inherent scent note beauties.
Simply a captivating floral chypre, a child of its time, whose heart still beats in its rhythm, which was also ours back then.
How incredibly rich that time was in extraordinary scent compositions.
Of course, not all could survive, but what joy it is to encounter them again here on Vintage Street or to get to know them.
It is always worth it, and here especially!
