If you’re in search of a cologne that exudes the contemporary British aesthetic, then Thameen Fanfare is the one for you. Inspired by the flower market at Covent Garden and immortalized by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, this stunning fragrance is a melodic fantasy. In this blog post, we’ll explore the notes that make up this cologne elixir and why it’s a must-try for every fragrance lover who adores citrus. So, let’s dive right in!
Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, Flower Market Accord
Heart Notes: Rosemary, Vermouth, Juniper Berry
Base Notes: Musk, Patchouli, Vetiver
Thameen Fanfare opens with a beguiling watery floral and citrus accord, which is refreshing and invigorating. The citrus notes of bergamot and lemon have a zesty punch that awakens your senses. It’s as if you’re walking down the flower market at Covent Garden, surrounded by fresh blooms and the scent of citrus fruits.
As Fanfare evolves, the structure becomes more daring with the vermouth accord in its heart notes. The vermouth accord has a slightly bitter and herbal quality, which is balanced out beautifully with the sweet floral and citrus notes. Rosemary and juniper berry bring a hint of green and woody notes to the mix, adding depth and complexity.
Finally, the fragrance settles into its base notes, which is where the musk comes into play. The patchouli and vetiver add an earthy, green quality to the fragrance, while musk adds a touch of sensuality that lingers on your skin. It’s a playful fragrance that’s citrusy, punchy, and complex. If you’re a citrus fragrance lover, this citrusy scent is very long-lasting, which, in my opinion, makes this scent perfect for everyday wear as you’re still smell it on the skin hours after application.
So, the next time you’re in search of a new cologne, make sure to try out Thameen Fanfare, now available at Saks 5th Ave. It’s a must-try! Its watery floral and citrus opening, combined with the vermouth accord, and musk, make it a complex, multi-layered fragrance that’s perfect for anyone who loves something a little different.
