Faux Semblant EDP
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly gorgeous, refined amber that's both warm and surprisingly fresh. It divides opinion with its quirky opening, but dries down to a comforting, luxurious scent. Etro knows their stuff, even if some wish it shouted a bit louder.
This is a bold, complex beast. Faux Semblant isn't for the faint of heart, blending challenging dirty oud and indolic florals with resinous amber and honey into something truly unique, and utterly divisive. You'll either adore its gothic opulence or find it downright offensive.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and warm, inviting character make it suitable for dates and less formal occasions, where it can be appreciated up close. While some find it too subtle for all-day wear, its refined nature allows it blend seamlessly into office or formal settings without being overpowering.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and rich, dark character, Faux Semblant is too assertive for office or casual wear. It shines in formal settings or on an evening date, where its opulent and complex nature can be appreciated without overwhelming the space.
