Fatal Charme is a heavily underrated scent from the JTC line. It opens very sweet and powdery with earthy undertones from the orris root, while the aldehydes add a sharp and slightly synthetic freshness. A heart of soft florals and salty ambergris compliment the other notes nicely and create an alluring sillage of fresh, powdery goodness. In the dry down there are some gentle hints of spices and tobacco which give the scent some added depth and lasting power, however these are not prominent and only serve as a base to the orris and aldehydes. It’s perfect for the spring as an easy every day scent and has pretty good performance too. It’s a fairly simplistic perfume with a clean and sweet character, it smells very reminiscent of Parma Violet sweets which makes it feel very nostalgic to wear. I wouldn’t say it’s worth the full retail price but if it can be found cheaper then it’s worth picking up if you enjoy powdery fragrances.
