Faris

#83 of My Fragrance Journey - Kajal Faris: The Knight Doesn’t Explain Himself I wore Faris on a rooftop one evening. One of those nights where the city looks better than it probably deserves to - warm lights, distant music, everyone pretending they’re a little more glamorous than usual. Anyway. I’m standing there, feeling pretty good about life, when a swole hunk - let’s call him Triceps Ted - leans in and goes: “Is that Sauvage?” Pause. “But like... richer. Sauvage that went to law school.” I laughed. Mostly because... he’s not entirely wrong. First spray sits firmly in that blue-fragrance territory. Lavender jumps out straight away - bright, aromatic, very clean. Bergamot gives it that crisp citrus lift, and there’s something fruity in there too. Apple-ish, maybe. Fresh, confident, easy to like. It smells polished. Smooth. The difference is in the texture. Compared to something like Sauvage, Faris feels softer, more natural. Less metallic. None of that scratchy shaving-foam edge. Same general idea, but... upgraded materials. Better tailoring. Same postcode, as Ted would later admit. Completely different tax bracket. Still, here’s the thing I kept thinking about. For the price, you expect something a bit more... unexpected. Faris doesn’t try to reinvent anything. It just executes a very familiar blueprint extremely well. Which is nice. But also a little safe. About half an hour in - somewhere between “how much do you lift?” and “what’s your actual rotation?” - the scent deepens a bit. Lavender stays in control, but warmth starts to build underneath. Nutmeg maybe. A touch of jasmine adds softness. It becomes richer. Smoother. More refined. By the time Ted and I migrated toward the bar, the drydown had settled in: vetiver, sandalwood, tonka. Warm woods, slightly creamy, very comfortable. Not loud at all. More of a halo around you than a cloud. Performance is solid, too. Eight hours easily on my skin. And the vibe stays consistent the whole way - clean, confident, masculine without trying too hard. That’s basically the story with Faris. It’s not groundbreaking. It’s not strange or risky. But it smells really good. Think navy suit energy. You won’t be the most original person in the room. But you might be the best put-together. Vibe: refined blue freshness with warm woods Longevity: around 8 hours Sillage: noticeable but polite Honest take: excellent quality and very wearable - just a little safe for the price.

Smells like a 80's/90's aromatic fougere. Very very fresh, airy, and bright fruity in the beginning. This unbelievably great opening is unfortunately short lived and becomes a very spicy fougere. It stays this way until the spices die down a tad bit, then you are left with a very woody drydown. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of how the patchouli is casted in this. No more than an 8.5/10. Good sillage, longevity, very nostalgic scent. Seems like everyone is playing it safe after the p-word. While I do understand how this is beneficial for financial reasons, one cannot help but feel that the current situation in the world has sucked out nearly all innovation and creativity that brought us to this beautiful and expensive hobby in the first place.. This is niche quality, niche branding, but ultimately a designer DNA scent that I undoubtedly have smelled on one of my younger uncles in the 90's. ( I am 31). I am only taking points away due to lack of originality but, as my friends and I have come to decide, the quality and blend of the scent is unequivocally its strongest attribute!

My experience with Faris is very different from the one vikingboy777 had. So as this user is very arrogantly suggesting that alot of reviews are "worthless", "to be ignored" & to be taken "with a pinch of salt" . I would strongly suggest his is too. As in my opinion his take is also a very poor one. Faris lasts a very long time on my skin, in the 10 plus hour range & it project's very well. This and Imagination are probably my best performing freshie's. I'm sure on some people's skin it will be different but on mine it sticks around!. I certainly won't be calling other people's opinions "worthless" just because their chemistry is different to mine!. It's not a groundbreaking fragrance but I think it is a very good one. It's got a nice richness & metallic tone to it which I think helps differentiate it from it just being a cheaper generic fresh fragrance. I can see why this is popular with alot of people. It's been constructed to be just that. Definately worth trying and sampling if your not snooty & a fan of versatile fresh Percival/Sauvage/Carbon type fragrances.

Faris is Kajal's interpretation of the blue fragrance genre. This takes elements from Sauvage (moreso the Parfum version IMO), Percival, Luna Rossa Carbon, Y EDP and a few others and combines them into one fresh, mass appealing scent. It removes the worst qualities from each of those (the screechiness of Sauvage, earthiness of Carbon, synthetic-ness of Y and Percival) and brings out the best. Sure, this might not be the most unique or exciting, but it excels at what it aspires to accomplish. Not only that, the performance is pretty good, better than most of its inspirations. At full retail, this isn't worth the money, but at a discounted rate I'm very tempted to grab a full bottle. Between this and Homme II, Kajal has two winners in my book. 9/10 Edit: Just wanted to note that this is very mass appealing; brought this and some other samples into the office today and several coworkers said it this was their favorite. So while it's not as edgy as other offerings out there, this garners complements and is very safe to wear everywhere.

Took me over a year to go through my decant. I wore this to work, vacations, dinner, date nights with the wife, etc. The more I wore it, I started to pick up Sauvage and PDM Percival. It has the pepperiness of Sauvage and "blue citrus" of Percival. It definitely leans "designer" but can pick up the quality of ingredients that went into this. Very easy to wear and is a crowd pleaser. Longevity is a solid 8 hours and 10+ on clothes. You can wear this year-round but might be a bit cloying in the summer if sprayed too much. I only use 2-4 sprays and is enough to get you through the day. This fragrance always puts a pep in my step and puts me in a good mood. I have around 10 fragrances I wear just for complements and this one of them. Blind-buy worthy 100%. Kajal is a slept on niche house, IMO. I have Homme II and it never disappoints. The quality and craftsmanship of their bottles/fragrances are on point. No corners were cut. Cheers!

Beautiful fragrance. There is a passing similarity to Sauvage, but the Kajal for me is less screechy and more balanced. Citrus, fruits and lavender come off the top, but the maturation is balanced by the juniper, nutmeg and rose that carry it away from the Sauvage similarities. Slight woody backbone that provides subtle undertone. Beautifully sweet ambers round everything out. Signature worthy and has become so for me due to the all season versatility. It may not have the uniqueness people would look for to be worthy of 200 plus retail cost, but definitely worth getting and blind buy safe in my opinion. A staple for me.

Don't buy Dior Sauvage. None of the presentations. (edt, edp or parfum). Get this instead. It is a frutier and higher quality ingredients scent, in my opinion. As soon i finish my 60 ml DS Edt, i will get a full bottle of this. This is just good. Spicy fresh, sweet, versitel, mass appealing, and you will smell luxurious. Last more than 8 hours on me with like 6 to 8 sprays. Compliment getter for sure. If you dont smell it at some point, dont worry. The scent will continue to perform and project. You just will get nose blinded by it.

I found this one with ridiculously good price (full presentation, not tester)! It has similarities with Dior Sauvage and MFK Masculin Pluriel. There is not much to say i think, very well blended, smooth, expensive smelling, masculine lavender perfume. Opening has an effervescent quality. Definitely smoother than Dior Sauvage but not as smooth as Masculin Pluriel. If you like Dior Savuage, you can blind buy this easily. Especially if you find it with attractive price. My score: 8/10

Faris by Kajal: aromatic from start to finish, extremely modern, and super refreshing. It conveys a semi-formal to formal vibe, but I can easily picture it in more casual settings as well. It easily holds its own against hyped refreshing fragrances. For instance, it's much longer-lasting than Torino 21. The metallic nuance makes the fragrance even more modern and refreshing. Extremely sophisticated for the summer. A beautiful composition, persistent and well-crafted.

Well i was so excited to try this out Its really resemble of dior sauvage Edt. With adding some spices and herbal notes that really catch up and remember some other fragrances such as Gentle fluidity,Sedley with amber sweetness in the base but what stays and finish with fragrances from opening to the dry down is the heavenly aromatic niche Lavender! About projection its a quite good average 2hours with 1 arm sillage and longevity about 8+hours

I was positively surprised by Faris. I really enjoy it, so grabbed a bottle. Its amazingly fresh! It really zings and it has a nice depth to the base aswell. It sticks around. I agree that Faris definately has Percival/Sauvage vibes. If you put those two together and added a sharp, fougere like clean freshness you have this. Being honest out the 3. I would chose this & im very fond of Percival.

I have to echo what others have said. This definitely has a designer-ish quality to it, and it's not unique. With that said, I really like the fragrance. You could wear this anytime, anywhere and it's going to garner good attention. Crowd-pleasing freshie with crazy good performance. I would not pay full retail for this. If you get a good deal at a discounter, you'll probably love it though.

Smoother and higher quality sauvage. Niche sauvage you could say. It plainly smells great. Addictive nature to these scent dna’s. Unique? Not so much. I got a decant from a website and the performance was great, got a new bottle and it’s not as strong. So you’ll have to let it sit for a while. Sprays it a bunch to get some air in the air and let it sit a few months. 9/10 stuff in my opinion.

I think this fragrance is great for what it is. Kajal's interpretation of this dna is great, especially compared to Percival, Sauvage & Luna Rossa Carbon. It easily lasts 8+ hours and provides above average projection. I will also add that jxespino is way off base with regards to Kajal III as it's an interpretation of Tygar's dna, not any version of BdC

As others have stated, this is a niche version of Savage EDT. Not unique but smells great (I love Savage EDT). Less metalic and more natural smelling but does not have the crazy longevity of Savage, at least on my skin. I have a full bottle but will probably not repurchase. I will just get another Savage instead due to the better longevity.

It's a citrusy take on Dior Sauvage edt. 100%. Less ambroxan, more lemon. Let's keep it simple, it's just like a summer edition of Sauvage. What's good is good, if a fragrance is popular does that make it bad? Sauvage is good, this is good. About performance, i got it new and didn't get to macerate it, it didn't impress me.

This is a really good fragrance fresh, elegant and versatile. Performance is solid. Got it for a very good price from JomaShop. I see why people are comparing it to Dior Sauvage but on my skin it is very different. 9-NOV-2023

Sexy AF. Lavender done correctly with the perfect amount of sweetness. I get 6hrs easy. Projection is arm length for 2hrs, then it sits close to skin. This is easily my favorite Kajal as of May2022

Summer cheat code yo holy shit, such an easy wear. Kinda like if Dior sauvage was chuggin mojitos in Miami
