I have the tiny remnants of this fragrance, purchased decades ago, in a tightly sealed bottle in a dark corner of my closet. Every now and then, I will open it and take a sniff of what is a truly lovely and calming fragrance from back in the days when not almost every fragrance smelled like EVERY OTHER fragrance on the market. I would dearly love to find a bottle of this but I fear it was discontinued a long time ago. It is/was such a gorgeous perfume.

Count me in as a Farouche fan! This is a grand Parfum in the classic French style. A creamy, snowy white floral with a generous pouf of aldehydes, and a springtime twig of green over a mildly powdery warm base. The reason this type of fragrance can seem to smell generic, is because they have been imitated and copied so many times, but Farouche is an original.
To me Farouche is a pretty princess scent, opening very formal and dressy but slowly evolving into wholesome, warm, flowery/powder/soapy innocence. Farouche is a girl-next-door in an old world French neighborhood.

Oh, this has to do with Childhood memories.
This was the perfume my mother used to wear in the seventies , and probably (as I was born in the seventies) it might very well be the first fragrance I have ever smelled on a human being (a part “natural” scents, of course!).
Therefore it holds a special place in my heart.
I have never worn it (well, when I was a kid I used to steal some drops from my mother’s bottle) but I recall using up all my savings just to buy her a botlle for her B-day.
She was so happy when we were presenting her w/ such perfume. Unfortunately it is not available anymore but to me, it is a real gem in perfumery.
Elegant, powdery, creamy, soapy…a light floral for a romantic woman… (well, this is my mother by the way).. The carnation and iris notes are quite lingering and lay on some light amber/vanilla base. It maybe lacking some strenght and is not so overly sensual…but is gentle and not overstated, nor loud. I will always love it.

Sadly discontinued. Extremely wonderful smell – a fantastic flacon by Lalique. Unobtrusive, but elegant and romantic. A perfume from my youth which will never come back.

Farouche is an underappreciated gem, I believe. Very high quality and expensive smelling, the notes are in a perfect harmony that is soapy, softly green, restrained floral with gentle spices and very creamy. It has a (very) little edge that makes you love it. The sillage is quite amazing, really the reason I like Farouche so well. I initially dismissed Farouche as boring and rather fussy. But then I noticed the fantastic sillage. I love sillage that is light but also very present, not the type to overwhelm someone standing next you, but more likely to make someone check to see that your hair isn’t still a bit damp from being freshly out of the shower. It is hard to find this type of sillage, believe me, it requires the perfume to be in perfect balance. Farrouche’s sillage is powdery but not heavy at all, a very discreet frangrance with a bit a of a surprisingly sexy bite. You can still find Farouche here and there, but sadly I understand it has been discontinued. Be on the lookout for the heart shaped bottle, with a deep curved V neck design, gold banded neck and the ball topped cap.

This is a discontinued scent, however, I wanted to review it anyway in case it might be helpful to someone out there who is curious about this scent. I didn’t grow up using it but discovered it several years ago after receiving a gift coffret of French perfume miniatures. It is a light, soapy, green scent, quite creamy, just like the smell of fine French-milled soap. It is classified as a floral-aldehyde, per Jan Moran, and can be worn for any occasion, day or evening. To me, this fragrance falls into the same category as L’Air du Temps, White Linen, and Arpege. The reason I wouldn’t buy this again is because it is very hard to get and very expensive.

For me, this scent is really powdery- like smelling some generic perfumed talcum powder. It’s not offensive, so at least it’s neutral for me. But it smells ‘old’, it must be the times have changed, along with scent trends. I can’t remember where I got this, have never worn it, it’s just sitting here among my other perfumes.

This isn’t too bad, but it really doesn’t smell very interesting on me, but it does have a bit of potential. It lacks the interesting spicy note of L’Air du Temps. Seems also that most Nina Ricci perfumes don’t last too long on the skin. No repurchase.

I felt in love with this at once I smelled it. Too bad there is only those miniatyres left. It smels like soap on me and I love it, because I always wanted to smell like “just came out of the shover” for all day long. It suits to my barely there makeuplook too. I think it is ok for all the seasons of year. If they would not have discontinued it in normal size bottles I would repurchase.

Farouche is one of those…nice…fragrances. Well, that’s not fair. It’s a bit better than just nice. I believe it was introduced in 1974, and its official notes are: bergamot, mandarin, galbanum, aldehydes, peach, rose, jasmine, honeysuckle, clary sage, cardamon, genista flowers, iris, carnation, geranium, lily of the valley, lily, oakmoss, sandalwood, amber, vetiver, and musk. When it first goes on, I swear that I smell anise or licorice with narcissus (no clue, since the top notes don’t seem to indicate anything like it!), then a great deal of carnation, iris, and a quick bolt to the oakmoss and sandalwood/amber. It moves *fast* and vanishes quickly. I can’t condemn it, but I can’t love it, either. My little EDT bottle has already found a home with a woman who will give it the love and appreciation it deserves.
