Faïsa

Blind tested this without having ever heard of this particular perfume. Didn't research the notes, just tested it and took in how I felt and what I smelt in the moment. I think too much we let reviews influence our own opinions, subconsciously, more than we realize. So I no longer read or look up anything b4 testing. I want to experience them in the wild, natural and 100% independent ideas/opinions. This fragrance is so so good imho. Even my fiance loves it and wants a bottle. Very diverse and unisex fragrance. It does have this sweet/brightness to it, just kind of mingling with the darker notes and it really works. I get the rasberry the most. It's not a synthetic overly sweet rasberry. It's an organic, ripe rasberry. I get a leathery texture from the Saffron, I also get a very natural ylang note...dirty, and rich ylang. Caramel is wafting on the outskirts, keeping it sweet enough and taming the oud/Saffron. The oud is rather light imo, but starts to show off a little more in dry down but still not overly so. I honestly get much more Saffron, rasberry, ylang, caramel and even a hint of the anise, in top notes. The dry down I'm getting mostly a light rasberry, warm sweet resinious amber, jasmine and tonka. In 100% honesty... This is def House of sillage Batman hero & minnie mouse mixed together. That sweet rasberry/caramel from minnie is noticable from 1st spray, but then also batman hero has this beautiful strong tonka, suede, waxy fruity aspect that faise has too. I actually love this! 8/10 imo. Smells a whole lot better onbskin than clothes. On my sweater i got a lot of oud and indolic florals oh ya this is absolutely she beastly! Project is amazing as well as longevity.

I have a sample of this perfume. It lasts more than 14 hours, a perfume with great fixation. With a very high intensity. When we put on the perfume the first thing that reaches our nose is a combination of woody amber and flavored with spice and saffron. The beginning of the perfumes is warm and dark from the amabar and those woods. Soon the presence of the raspberry, accompanied by a set of flowers, rose, ylang ylang ... give light to this perfume, like a sunrise. Cinnamon, caramel, and vanilla sweeten the woods to give them an interesting life. The fruity, floral tones give joy to the perfume. The spices, the saffron, the cinnamon give it exoticism and the woods, the oud and the amber elegance and mystery. A completely different and special perfume from what I have tried, a fascinating creation that makes you fall in love. It is perfectly unisex. In my case (woman) I really appreciate the woody and amber aromas, I really enjoy this aroma, a delicious aroma, very special and unique.

Faïsa is for me just a gorgeous perfume. This one and flamenco are my favourite from the monegals that k have tried and are in my general top Rating of perfumes. Faïsa is sweet and very pleasant, is intense and the oud is noticeable but very subtle and friendly like the oud present for example un Bois d'oud by perris Montecarlo. The ylang ylang and the saffron give son powdery and soapy power yo the opening. Then the Raspberry the oud and the amber get the main protagonista of the perfume, rounded by a very subtle floral troop. The caramel, tonka Bean and vanilla give a very nice sweetness to the fragance the more noticeable the more It dryes down. The longevity is very good, more than 10 hours on skin, and the sillage is good as Well, although i wouldnt say It is beast Mode. I think It is an unisex perfume perfect for night or evening use and better with fresh weather. Scent: 9.5 Longevity: 9 Sillage: 7.5 Quality/price: 7 Versatility: 6 Originality: 9 Global: 9

Faisa is far better than most of the woody spicy fragrances on the market. I say this because not only does it contain the prerequisite notes of this genre--saffron, ylang ylang, cinnamon, agarwood, sandalwood and amber but there mixed in a way that is sophisticatedly sweet. The lemon, rose, mimosa and vanilla widen the palate so that it moves beyond a linear scent. These notes play across its unfolding and at no time does it lose its unusual appeal. I can se why it's been compared to Nemer, but that one is more floraly royal. I find it unisex, with good to strong sillage and longevity. This one has the feel of a very expensive fragrance (it isn't cheap but isn't in the Nemer range). I am surprised more people have not tried this one. It isn't anything earth shattering but it well worth sampling.

This is my second review on Faisa. I absolutely love this stuff. I finally gave her a full wear today and I'm so glad I did because I really enjoyed it. This is a beautiful oud/gourmand fragrance!! It's like if La Capitale & HOS Minnie had a baby. It's not edible like Minnie, due to the oud & saffron, but I still get Minnie vibes from the raspberry & caramel. It's like Minnie all grown up. It's so pleasant, smooth, and very well-rounded. I love how RM does raspberry (Atractone Musk is another favorite of mine), very natural and smooth; I find other perfumes with raspberry can be bitter. The mimosa is also prominent and adds a unique floral touch to this fragrance DNA. This is very much what I wanted La Capitale to be. If you're an oud lover you need to get your nose on this!
