Maison Asrar
OnlyFumes enthusiastically reviews Faris Al Arab by Maison Asrar, a Blonde Amber-inspired fragrance. The cherry liqueur-to-amber-vanilla drydown is thicker and sweeter than the original, with cashmere wood preventing any cloying sweetness even at heavy application.
The Verdict
An outstanding Blonde Amber alternative that captures the warm amber DNA while adding its own cherry-liqueur sweetness, never becoming cloying even at heavy application.
Longevity
All-day performance
Projection
Noticeable and pleasant throughout
