The Fabulous World of Favea :)
Le Fabuleux definitely sounds like a promise and a hefty dose of self-confidence.
Yet this seemingly somewhat unknown fragrance keeps that promise and knows how to present itself damn well and also convince spoiled noses (at least mine).
The fragrance pyramid sounded so interesting to me that I wanted to test it.
It opens with the gentle fruitiness of a black cherry (no, quite different from the Lost Cherries of this world), flanked by the herb-sweet earthiness of the angelica flower and carrot seeds. A hefty portion of perfectly intertwined blend of ambrette seeds, iris root, and incense (which only wafts ghostly in the background here) envelops this herb-sweet cherry in a dry, soft-focus mist. (For me, it has slight hints of Baccarat Rouge during this time, at least that medicinal-sweet touch). Now the base players come in: tonkin musk and sandalwood provide soft creaminess to the dry sweetness, soft nappa leather caresses the senses and keeps them awake, as it prevents the fragrance from appearing trivial. Once it fully develops on the skin after about 30 minutes, it remains in this aromatic fullness for many hours, which is completely round and perfectly harmonized. Towards the end, which comes after about 9 hours, it increasingly becomes herbaceous sweetness and gentle leather.
Le Fabuleux convinces me across the board - such finely intertwined fragrance components, all of which have something special about them, yet still form a grand team, I have rarely encountered before.
A special fragrance with a lot of self-confidence.
I see it more suited for women than for men, and for me, it is wearable year-round and for any occasion - it will always stand out positively. Sillage and longevity are in the upper third.
I like it very much!
