Brecourt Farah is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Émilie Bouge. Farah opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Styrax, settles into a heart of Date, Leather, Cedar, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Brecourt's Farah carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive one, this. Brecourt Farah is either a phenomenal, warm gourmand with an Arabian flair, or a synthetic, overly sweet concoction trying too hard to emulate better-known scents. If you love honeyed cinnamon and dates, you might be in for a treat.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Farah's strong, sweet, and spicy character makes it less suitable for an office environment, but it shines on dates and casual outings, especially in cooler weather. While it has an elegant side, it's a bit too gourmand for most formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Farah opens with a spicy kick of cinnamon and a touch of styrax, lifted by bright bergamot. The heart unfolds into a rich, sweet blend of dates and honey, warmed by a soft leather accord. The base grounds it all with a deep, balsamic mix of labdanum, patchouli, tonka bean, and musk, creating a luxurious, inviting warmth.
