Fame Couture

It’s incredible, delicious, and totally addictive! Even though it's marketed for women, it feels almost unisex to me. I’m a man and I usually prefer very manly colognes, but this is a total winner. For those who enjoy the Jean Paul Gaultier DNA, there is a clear connection here to Le Beau Le Parfum. Both fragrances share that addictive core of creamy coconut and powdery iris, but Fame Couture feels like a more refined, 'airy' version. Interestingly, they also both rely on a sandalwood base to provide that smooth, milky woodiness in the dry down. While Le Beau leans into a denser, club-ready sweetness with tonka bean, Fame Couture uses incense and wolfwood to give it a slightly more sophisticated, mysterious edge that wears perfectly on a man. It's essentially a high-end, unisex take on that tropical-iris profile. If it weren't just a little bit sweeter than I usually like, it would be perfect. It has everything: quality, projection, and great performance. The iris is incredible, and the whole scent is very balanced; even the coconut is smooth and stays subtly in the background.

This was my birthday present 🎁 💝💝🎈It is like the intense version with added iris - it's juicy mango like in the original, vanilla like in the intense version and iris like in LVEB iris or Elie Saab Elixir. The iris is very noticeable at the start but later it fades completely. I get also a praline note, not just vanilla. Similar vibe as LVEB. It basically smells like chocolate 🍫 with 🥭 fruity filling. Or like a chocolate dessert with mango puree. Very festive and winterly gourmand ❄️. It's a sweet bomb - toothachingly sweet 🧁 but fades pretty quickly. U pay mainly for the bottle and packaging - the juice inside is rather weak. Too bad as I love the smell and consider it the best and most refined version of the Fame line so far. Love the packaging and the bottle as well, very sturdy and heavy, good quality and cuter than a Labubu 🩷💝 btw. if u're interested what's underneath the fur coat - it's the same sequins dress as at the other versions but the sequins are not painted in any color.

Tested today in store, so these are my first thoughts on Fame Couture. The bottle design is hideous in my opinion, but the juice inside is really nice. That said, if you’re into iris, vanilla and incense. This is one of those scents that smells like you would expect when looking at the notes listed. The opening is very much dry, powdered, lipsticky iris, so not my cup of tea. I am warming up towards iris in fragrances, thanks to Infusion d’Iris, but I am not there yet. But the dry down is beautiful: a warm, slightly incensy vanilla, a bit sweet and a bit powdery from the iris. If this sounds like something you’d like, it’s a nicely done designer fragrance with moderate longevity and sillage. The bottle though is super tacky, with that fake, black fur around the golden, shiny bottle. Nice iris vanilla scent, horrendous bottle, slightly overpriced. That’s Fame Couture for you in a nutshell! I’ll pass, I just can’t with these bottle..

So pretty, creamy, smoky and well-rounded. I immediately thought of of lipstick smell, and Salvatore Ferragamos Signorina Misteriosa, but when I smelled them side by side they are different, however in terms of "vibe" or personality Fame couture is the mom and SM is the daughter. Why do we have to love perfumes so much and why do they have to be so expensive? I want this so bad now. 😭and the worse part is that its hard to find and pretty sure it will be discontinued because they always do that to the great ones! 😡 + unfortunately, on my skin, it totally disappears in 2 hours.

My absolute favourite out of the Fame line. This fragrance is so well blended and smooth. I immediately picked up on the vanilla and iris- which are the most dominant notes in the fragrance to me while the incense is like a warm bed they’re sitting on. There’s almost a slightly fruity hint to it when worn by some people- for example, my coworker loves this too but it smells slightly more fruity on her and powdery on me. I’m all over this stuff.
