    Real talk

    It's a fougère. Old-school, aromatic, built on lavender and sage the way the classics always were, but the apple keeps it from feeling dated. Moderate sillage means you wear it, not the room.Essence of Success
    Fakhar Black earns its name without fanfare. Ginger and apple give it an immediate punch, the herbal heart keeps it interesting, and the tonka-cedar drydown means it actually lasts.Fakhar Black
