Farouche (Parfum)
8.1Nina Ricci · 1973
Fresh · Floral · Green
Nina Ricci Farouche (Parfum) opens with aldehydes, bergamot and galbanum and settles on oakmoss and vetiver: a green floral chypre for women that has been discontinued.
The top notes of aldehydes, bergamot, mandarin orange, peach and galbanum give it a fresh, green start. In the heart, jasmine, rose, iris and lily meet carnation and cardamom, which add a spicy edge. The base of vetiver, amber, sandalwood, musk and oakmoss leaves it woody and powdery.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, autumn and summer, and it suits daily wear as well as evenings. It reads mostly feminine and classic. Rabanne Calandre and Cacharel Anaïs Anaïs have a close profile.
