FAYOUM

I wear this perfume all the time. I've just deflated my tires so that I can whip my Jeep around the sand dunes. So sunbaked. So beautiful.

Very nostalgic. Beautiful scent. The presentation was also thoughtful even if just for a sample.

I love all of Jazmin Sarai’s scents!

Wow, what an unusual scent. I received the 2ml sample nearly a month ago and have tried it out a number of times and the scent changes every time. Sometimes, honestly, it's not attractive to me – too much of an overwhelming "jammy dried fig" essence – but then I go back to it and it changes completely; I can smell the clay, I can smell the wood. In a way, this has taught me what the best fragrance should reach for; always elusive, never capturing the same memories, sometimes perfect and sometimes challenging. Although I can't say this my favorite scent I've ever tried that's partially because I'm not particularly steeped in the world of fragrance and finding Jazmin Sarai was a lucky coincidence – but something about this draws me back to it over and over. I don't understand why I return to it but I do.

What a journey. It's not floral, not spicy, not sweet, not smoky. It's warmth, incense, spirituality. There's a resinous, woody aspect to it, and a touch of dried fruits like fig and apricot, a rumour of sour walnut too. It's for the nape of the neck, the hems of skirts, the ankles, and somewhere deep in a headful of thick, curly hair. It's a fragrance that brings the world around you to life. I'm not doing it justice. It's really a gift!
