Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Fair Play is a 2008 eau de toilette for men, with its notes given as one list rather than a pyramid. Violet and lavender bring a soft floral and aromatic side, while cardamom adds a dry spice. Teak and patchouli give it a woody, earthy body, and amber rounds things off with a gentle warmth. It reads as a classic masculine mix of herbs, spice and wood, easy to wear day to day. Expect something familiar rather than adventurous.
