Fanfan

Fanfan is the other, better half of the masculine fragrance Galileo and part of Les Toupies 3 collection. Difficult for a man to pull this off but best suits a mysterious countess at a party. It comes in a beautiful handmade crystal spinning top bottle. Priced at almost $ 6500 it's ofcourse very expensive but I can think of nothing else that comes close. The fragrance is extremely good, fit for a Princess, very sharp yet super refined and smooth and tantalising too. Sharpness comes from Saffron with a leathery nuance ( and with lavender) it seems. The best thing with Henry Jacques fragrances is we smell everything vividly. It's like all the different ingredients of the scent are passing through a prism but reaching you and others around you as one spectacular scent. The fragrance opens with ultra refined saffron and lavender/rose and other ingredients join almost at once. All ingredients are top notch and superbly blended. I could try all these other worldly fragrances thanks to Salah and the very friendly, knowledgeable people at Henry Jacques, Dubai.

A true gem, one of best from the house.
