Faris, from Kajal was released in 2022. The perfumer behind this creation is David Chieze and Urs Castelletti. It has the top notes of Apple, Bergamot, Juniper Berries, Lavender, Lemon, and Orange, middle notes of Cloves, Coriander, Jasmine, Nutmeg, and Rose, and base notes of Amber, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Vetiver.
To me, Faris seems like a bit of a cash grab capitalising on the success of Sauvage and Aventus. It opens with a very sharp and masculine combo of lavender with an array of different citrus notes, and hints of juniper. You then start to pick up some spicy bitterness from coriander and clove, but this is only subtle. In the base, a fairly generic combo of Vetiver, sandalwood and patchouli take hold and lengthen the lifespan of the top notes. The quality doesn’t seem the best compared to Kajal’s other offerings, I feel like this scent lacks its own sense of direction. As I said, this bears similarities to both Sauvage and Aventus, but mostly Sauvage. It’s simply fresh and masculine with little interest or uniqueness about it. Good option if you just want to smell good, but you won’t smell memorable.
