Red Flag

The anticipation I had for this scent was supreme and I wasn't disappointed! I was kindly sent this by Fascent and due to the fact it has literally just launched, I had no other opinions to set expectations by... To me, there's such an interesting depth to it, a richness and sensuality but along with that a vibrancy a true naturalistic spice, both a zingy bite and a smoky warmth, balanced in absolute harmony. It's extremely different to all of the other scents in the Fascent collection and a truly striking addition. With the rise of Neo gourmands and savoury gourmands as we get into 2026, I think this will be a really prominent scent on the niche scene! *I'll return to this review when I have had more time with it but on immediate first impressions, I really do enjoy it - full first impressions review on my instagram @thfragrancevault

I completely miss judged this perfume when I firstly read its notes, thinking that I won't like it at all. However, it turned out to be quite the opposite. It's a very lovely colder season perfume, completely unisex. To me it smells like a spicy woody, with a very present cardamom that has this almost nostalgic feeling given by the middle notes.

Love the cardamom and beetroot. This reminds me so much of Liam Gray with a stronger iris note. It's more well-balanced than Liam (which I love, btw), and the incense and palo santo make it a little more feminine-leaning and complex, to my nose. Really love this one- if you already have Liam, though, I don't know if you need both (?)

Beetroot note is very prominent in initial blast, minutes after spraying it dissipates. This perfume generally sits close to skin. Very warm and powdery to my nose. Balsamic, yes... spicy, not so much. Doesn't last very long sadly and doesn't project a lot either. Fall and winter scent for me

A very cool beetroot fragrance! Very earthy and clean right out the gate. Drys down to a warm beet root and tonka bean the cardamom and palo santo stay present from start to finish. For like 78$ it’s a solid deal. Definitely unisex and quite unique. Makes me want borscht
