Fattan pour Homme
Rasasi (2018)

I'll tell you what this fragrance house really pulls out. Some bangers and Fattan PH is no exception. A variety of notes in this one. I'm not great at individualizing those notes but all I know is it lasts a long time and has a nice aquamarine green color bottle of sleek and eye-catching which is very big in my eyes. I have quite a few fragrances from this house and I intend to buy many many more. So far every single one of them has been a pleasant surprise. Also, this fragrance is kind of different. It doesn't smell like everything else that's out there which is another good thing. Positive vibes all the way

I get nothing close to TdH from this one. This opens with a lemon and pink pepper accord that is secondary only to a note that is a combination of crabapple, quince and coriander/sichuan peppercorn. It is a scent I have not smelled in the 100+ fragrances I have tried, and it is seriously addictive. It is possible that this is coming from a combination of the vetiver, patchouli and some (unlisted) cedar, but if they didn't list cedar, they probably didn't list the other mystery ingredient(s).

Let's talk about the vetiver. I like vetiver, and count the Encre Noirs and several Guerlain vetiver-based fragrances among my favorites. But that type of vetiver (earthy, a little damp, dark) is not what is present here. This is an almost airy, herbal/spicy vetiver, almost as if you combined straw, a light clove, a bright unflavored virginia pipe tobacco and mandarin orange. Words are really failing me here - you just have to try this, and it is very affordable.

Performance you ask? I did around 5 sprays on shirt and chest, and it is still wafting in moderately-powerful waves six hours later. The citruses have backed off during that time, the cedar/vetiver have stepped up, but that crabapple/sichuan scent is almost as present in the sillage as when I first applied it. Projection is moderate, but sillage and longevity are incredible.
