Fetish

یه رایحه با نت های باکیفیت و یه شیپغ فوق العاده رسمی و مردانه فتیش شروعی سرشار از خزه بلوط مخلوط با نت های سبز و گیاهی که تشکیل شده از گالبانیوم و برگ نارنج هست داره که نت حیوانی ضعیف درخفا به عمیق تر شدن عطر کمک میکنه (شاید پتیت گرین دقیقا برگ نارنج نباشه ولی رایحه اش برای ما ایرانی ها خیلی نزدیک به برگ نارنج هست) در ادامه نت میخک هم کم کم به ترکیب اضافه میشه ولی فقط در حد بالانس کردن رایحه. بنظرم میخک همیشه یه چاقوی دولبه است که در هر عطری باید در جای درست و به اندازه استفاده بشه و همانطور که از روژا داوو انتظار میره کار با این رایحه رو نحوه احسنت به سرانجام رسونده بعد از مدتی رایحه از حالت خشکی نچندان زیاد، شروع به نرم شدن میکنه و درنهایت در درای داون به شیرینی گلی و مشکی کاملا کنترل شده ای ختم میشه فتیش کلا یه عطر با زوایای گرد شده و بدون تیزی و برجستگی است اکثر روایح مثل نت حیوانی، چوبی (وتیور و سدار)، روایح گلی و مشک در پس زمینه نقش بالانس کننده و عمل اوری رایحه کلی عطر رو بازی میکنند همونطور که اشاره شد فتیش یه عطر رسمی است ولی نه رسمی سنگین. به همین دلیل بازه استفاده از اون خیلی گسترده تر از کارهایی مثل بلک افغان، اینترلود و....هست، اگه اینها رو رسمی زمستانه در نظر بگیریم فتیش یک عطر رسمی پاییزه محسوب میشه. تقریبا اغلب کارهای روژا مثل دیاگلیف و انیگما این سطح از رسمی بودن رو باخودشون یدک میکشن. فتیش برای فصل های پاییز و بعد زمستان و بهار مناسبه، ماندگاری طولانی و خط بوش اینقدر هست که تا ساعت ها شما رو راضی نگه داره دراخر اگه دنبال یک عطر تلخ مردانه هستید حتما جزو لیست تست هاتون قرارش بدید. بنظرم فتیش رژاداو و جِرنی از آمواژ تاپ های این سبک از عطرهای تلخ محسوب میشن پ.ن: رویو مربوط به نسخه تولیدی سالهای ۲۰۱۵ این عطر هست. *همیشه معطر باشید*

Fetish... what in insatiably breathtaking perfume this is. A blind buy which could not have gone better; I adore Fetish Pour Homme and when I had the chance to pick up the Femme, I could not resist. I didn’t know what to expect with the male counterpart being quite brash and animalic despite retaining its refinement and sophistication. Upon smelling this scent, perhaps ‘Fetish’ is the wrong name for such a serious and elegant perfume. This is a true Chypre through and through, a gorgeous rendition of this traditional fragrance composition, staying true to its French roots throughout. Green, woodland notes of oakmoss, galbanum, cedar wood and particularly cedar needle shine through the trees above, intermingling with the earthy ground beneath you by way of patchouli, Vetiver and labdanum. But to counter this immense green, earthy feel is the florals - tuberose, Jasmine and ylang paired with a refreshing bergamot give the scent an incredibly delicate soapy element. This soapiness is redolescent of aldehydes to my nose, it really brightens things up significantly. It’s old school, yes, but it’s not outdated by any means. It’s actually one of the cleanest and tamest Chypre fragrances which still undoubtedly holds that classical French character, without leaning too heavily into territory which would be considered ‘too old’ by some. I absolutely love it, I’m gutted that this masterpiece is so hard to come by.

It's a fabulous chypre. Oakmoss, galbanum and jasmine definitely dominate. It has an old school quality. Gradually I start to pick out the sharp petit grain and animalics. There is very little warmth or sweetness at the start but gradually a little appears. IMHO it's a unisex scent. A true chypre. I don't get that much development really. Does it smell like it's name? Nah. It's a crisp scent that wouldn't be amiss worn to a business meeting. A formal old school scent. Is it worth the hefty price tag? Probably not. Having tried the amazing Francesca Bianchi Etruscan waters this pales a bit in comparison. I disappointingly get average longevity and sillage at most.

I bought my bottle at an event where you got to meet Roja Dove and he explained that in French, Fetish means to worship so, he wanted a scent that would take something ultra feminine (ie. jasmine, rose and tuberose) and wrap it in something a little more masculine (the leathery notes) to create a scent that would simultaneously make a man a little bit afraid but, also drawn to the wearer. I think this explains it perfectly. This scent is both elegant and feminine but, also tough and a little dirty. One of my all time favorite leather scents!

Very formal, austere chypre. Huge bitter oakmoss and dense green of galbanum make Fetish a fragrance not so easy to wear. From top notes to drydown it's mostly about this overwhelming duo, while the rest of the notes - spices and few fragile flowers - appear too weak to compete. Soon enough, third dominant note appears - distinct leather-animalic component; smoky and raw as in Bandit, permeated with darkness and bitter green leaves as in Jolie Madame.. and it lasts and lasts.. and lasts... Striking, somehow elegant, almost like a classical chypre, but also linear, somewhat tedious and not too original for the price. Great for the lovers of this genre. For me - good, but also too much in every way.
