What does Fake smell like?

It opens with amber, moves into vanilla at the heart and settles on tonka bean, oud and white musk. The overall impression is sweet and creamy, with a powdery softness behind it and a smoky, synthetic edge. Oud carries the smoky side, while tonka and vanilla bring the gourmand sweetness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters pick it most for leisure and evening wear, with nights out next. Masculine and feminine votes are split evenly, so it reads as suitable for either. Perfumes with a close profile include Paris Corner Taskeen Caramel Cascade and Câline Lait Clair.
