What does Fàra smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the votes are few. Voters pick it most for leisure and daily wear, with some also suggesting it for business and evenings. It reads as neither distinctly masculine nor feminine and suits both.

The top is bright citrus with peppermint for a cool edge. In the heart, magnolia adds a soft floral note while cumin brings a dry spiciness. The base of frankincense, musk and cedarwood is woody with a faintly animal trace, and the whole stays green, fresh and slightly synthetic. Dunhill Century and Comme des Garçons Zero have a close profile.
