Fame
Fame by Paco Rabanne is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2022 in the designer price tier. It opens with mango and bergamot, moves into jasmine and sambac jasmine and dries down to sandalwood, vanilla and white musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mango Thick, sweet and tropical. Creamy rather than sharp.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
