What would a world be like where good is simply good?
Just imagine the following! You don't need much imagination, I promise! Picture a young guy wanting to make his dream come true. He probably takes out loans and puts everything on one card. He briefs a great perfumer about what he wants. He doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel. He delivers solidly. And everything that is evaluated - is just the scent. Wouldn't that be a dream?
And since I am a dreamer, I have maximum respect for the courage to put something like this into action, and I truly wish him success - that's exactly what I do. I evaluate exactly what it's about. Not the person behind the brand - just the scent.
Fovere really doesn't reinvent the wheel. Yes, it has similarities to XXI: Art Deco - Blonde Amber. Yes, it may not be a creative high-flyer. But to call it a dupe - is simply untrue. Fovere may be similar - but it is not the same. It doesn't have that tuberose. It starts off more flattering. It is significantly more affordable. No, it is not a copy. The rum is beautiful. The lavender is not annoying. It is well made.
Sillage & longevity are really maximally solid for me. I think Carbonnel has done a great job here. The scent has a beautifully resinous warmth. For me, it is the perfect companion for autumn and winter. I can also imagine Fovere very well on cool summer evenings.
In short, in a perfect world - one would consider the scent itself. And it is great. I have just XXI: Art Deco - Blonde Amber on my left arm and Fovere on my right. Yes, both are buddies - but not blood-related.
I really like the scent a lot and I can only wish the young fragrance house the best.
In a perfect world - this will be a success story. Call me naive and rosy-eyed - but in my world, a good perfume - is simply a good perfume.

I’m also convinced that "yet" a new niche fragrance can always be a gamble, especially with such a huge selection out there. I'm currently testing Fovere.
It's already clear... a successful niche fragrance with a unique character and a certain DNA, which is understandable and justifiable given the perfumer CC.
Best regards!
