Fame is an impression of Nishane Shem, and I'm going to say it: Hasan has done it again. It opens with a velvety rose lifted by a spicy cardamom crackle, and it feels expensive right from the first spray. Then the cypriol and amber kick in, giving the rose a dark, smoky, slightly resinous backbone. This is rose done the masculine way, with no grandma's garden vibes anywhere. It dries down to a leathery, earthy vetiver base that just sits on your skin like a well-tailored jacket.
It's bold, rich and proper evening juice that demands attention without screaming for it.
Whatever it's chasing, Peirama has bottled the spirit of it for a fraction of the price. Backup-bottle worthy, no question.
