The Afternoon of a Faun
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive, take-no-prisoners chypre oriental that some declare a masterpiece and others a scrubber. Fans describe it as opulent, rich, and sexy; detractors find it overwhelmingly spicy, medicinal, or even fecal. Love it or hate it, Fate Woman is never boring.
Divisive yet utterly captivating, The Afternoon of a Faun is perfume as art, a wild, melancholic chypre that's either a bewitching forest floor or a 'wet dog' disaster, with no middle ground.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its 'crazy loud' longevity and 'insane sillage', Fate Woman is far too strong for the office or casual wear. Its opulent and elegant character makes it ideal for formal events and dates, where its bold presence can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its potent projection and distinct, complex profile make it less suited for an office. However, its unique elegance and warmth are well-received for dates, and the blend of classic and modern makes it surprisingly versatile for both dressed-up and thoughtful casual wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Amber, Leather accords and Oakmoss, Bergamot notes
