Varakh Silver

* A modern aromatic fougere elevated by the addition of woody and musky notes * Gourmand lovers will also appreciate due to its "Gin and Tonic" aroma * Good blend of herbal, spicy, woody and musk aromas * Great update for those who love classic aromatic fougeres * Clean and uplifting fragrance * Good for all seasons * Good performer * Great for older male users * May completely throw off spicy DNA lovers who expect a spicy fragrance based upon the listed notes * No indication at all for gourmand lovers that this is good for them * Bizarrely marketed towards women despite being a very masculine fragrance * Not good for younger male users * Not good for female users Fragrance World's Varakh Silver is a clone of Maison Francis Kurdjikan's Gentle Fluidity Silver. This is a rather unique fragrance with appeal to aromatic fougere lovers and gourmand lovers due to its specific notes. It's technically an Oriental spicy fragrance that has been uplifted with the nice addition of woody and musk aromas. However, the specific notes of coriander and juniper come across as far more herbal and this is really a modern aromatic fougere because of them. As such, this is going to throw off anyone who thinks they're going to get a spicy fragrance based purely on looking at the notes. Gourmand lovers will appreciate this fragrance immediately as it will instantly remind them of a Gin and Tonic drink. There is no indication of this, however, so they're going to have to take a leap of faith with this one. This is truly a masculine fragrance and it's great for older male users. Bizarrely, it is marketed towards women whom I would argue this is actually not appropriate for. It's a great modern update for those like aromatic fougeres, very clean and uplifting without a whiff of the tell-tale fern-like oakmoss that both defines and dates classic fougeres. Performance is good and presentation is nice. Recommended.

Superb clone of Maison Francis Kurdjian Gentle Fluidity Silver. My review of Gentle Fluidity Silver below: Very reminescant of something i have smelled before, but i cannot put my finger on it. The first time I tried it, I found it a little uninteresting. But something kept drawing me back. Its a fragrance that really grows on you, its very addicting in a way. Super super clean fragrance with a nuance of that "fresh spicy" that just gives it a little bit more sophistication and nuance than regular clean fragrances to me. I really really love this DNA, and it perfectly captures the energy i want to project (effortless soft sophistication in a modern way) while being high-heat safe. I get the same overall sophistication and vibe as with Luna Rossa Black, but in a completely different DNA. A DNA that is safe for summer and high heat. Its amazing. Love+

Nose Note #708 Wow, wow!!! Didn't expect it to be so similar to Creed Himalaya! I'm impressed noone else upvoted the comparison. Himalaya is in my top tier list and I was so dissapointed that there is no clone of it. Man, depress no more. I've got my Himalaya dupe. I couldn't be happier. What an unexpected find. It's so so similar. I love it. Very long lasting and the quality is just like Himalaya. The more recent releases from Fragrance World impress me one after another. This, Varakh Gold is also superb, Tabac'N'Coke, Cafe'N'Cream, Inizio, just every one of them. I'm waiting to try out the new triplet of inspos of Ex Nihilo - Blue Magician, Zero to Legend and Immortal London. 10/10, I'm on a streak on 10s lately. September has been good

I looooove GFS. The definition of CLEAN. I almost gave VS away several times as it had that unmacerated smell foreveeeer. Is this as good as it gets, but something just said, hold on. 3 months later.....wow its beautiful soft creamy soapy clean nosegasm. The OG is a bit crisper and better blended w better oils. Performance and sillage are a bit challenging so spray away. Just wish it was stronger but still does the job and does it very well. Im honestly surprised at some of the negative scent reviews as i honestly feel its extremely mass pleasing and an easy office frag that I thought NO ONE would complain about. Its like not liking the smell of ivory soap. You know you do.

As MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver is my favorite fragrance to wear and a daily driver after testing 1000+ fragrances, I can attest to the quality of this clone. Its almost completely there. There may be a difference in the musks or vanilla in the base but nothing really noticable if i had to pick out a difference, this one is slightly more woodier and drier. All in all, they nailed this. The wearing experience is also extremely similar. 95% there. Fresh, musky, elevated, masculine, clean, chic, sexy. The price is incredible.
