Faris
by Kajal
Faris by Kajal presents a crisp, aromatic profile with a fresh spicy opening dominated by citrus, apple, bergamot, and lavender, creating a bright and airy sensation. It evolves into a balanced, spicy fougere with warm notes of coriander, nutmeg, and rose, leading into a woody base of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, enhanced by sweet amber and tonka bean. Scented similarly to Dior Sauvage EDT but more refined and less screechy in the opening, it avoids the harshness of Sauvage while capturing its architectural elegance. The drydown offers a smooth, slightly sweet woody trail, reminiscent of vintage YSL La Nuit de L'Homme and MFK Masculin Pluriel, making it distinctive yet familiar. Its performance is strong—lasting up to 8 hours with good projection for several hours—making it particularly effective in moderate climates and suitable for daytime or night use across spring through autumn.
Pros
- +A well-blended, refreshingly aromatic fragrance with a clean, slightly sweet, and woody drydown.
- +Excellent longevity and sillage, making it stand out in casual and formal environments.
- +Offers a refined take on Sauvage's DNA without the harsh edge, ideal for those who dislike its aggression.
Cons
- −May feel too familiar or derivative to those seeking innovation, as it closely resembles multiple established designer scents.
- −Performance can be intense on sensitive skin, with lingering sillage that may be overwhelming in closed spaces.
- −Lacks strong originality, reducing its perceived value for premium pricing.
