Fareb is one of Huitième Art’s most stunning examples of what complexity and intensity can be produced from a mere two accords. Riffing on two powerful extracts from the phyto-perfumery method — the Italian straw flower known as Immortelle and the spicy root ginseng — Fareb plunges you into its dark and sexy olfactory world, a world without much sweetness but with plenty of spice and intrigue.
A cumin note leads the way, showing by example what the perfume as a whole wants to project, and what the letters in “Fareb” — an acronym — stand for in French: Fraiche, Aromatique, Resineaux, Epice, Bois.
Combined with aromatic, spicy cumin are wonderful facets of mint and fresh ginseng, all of which keep Fareb from being stuck in only one, dark or perhaps overly spice-market register. With accents of leather and warm sand, Fareb will find fans in lovers of Serge Lutens’ most baroque Orientalist perfume fantasias.
