Fatima

Fatima (the Extrait de Parfum entry in the Fatima family, distinct from Fatima Pink and Fatima Velvet Love) opens with a tart, juicy blend of litchi, rhubarb and grapefruit warmed by bergamot and nutmeg - a brighter, spicier top than its siblings. The heart settles into a soft, powdery floral of rose, peony and jasmine, cushioned by vanilla and musk, before the base introduces cashmeran, cedar and vetiver alongside incense and ambergris - giving this Fatima a noticeably woodier, more grounded finish than the fruitier Pink or the gourmand Velvet Love. As an extrait-strength composition, it carries more richness and staying power than a typical eau de parfum, with the cashmeran-cedar base doing real work to extend the wear. The fruity-floral opening keeps it feeling fresh and feminine while the woody-musky dry-down adds a level of sophistication that lifts it above a simple fruity-floral. Of the three Fatima variants, this Extrait reads as the most 'grown-up' - a genuine woody-floral structure with real depth, worth seeking out for wearers who like the Fatima name's florals but want more complexity in the base.
