Fragrance notes and autumn appeal
Ambery scents suit the cooler months by lending warmth and depth to any outfit, and this limited-edition fragrance is dressed in the brand's iconic figurine wearing high-fashion fur. Top notes include incense, bergamot essence and coconut water, while heart notes comprise jasmine sambac, iris and concrete wolfwood, layered over a base of vanilla balm, muscenone dextro, sandalwood album and Australian essence.
Shoppers describe it as ideal for autumn. One reviewer wrote: "The scent is sweeter, richer and has more depth than the regular Fame. Think more autumn, evening and seductive - great purchase that you won't regret." Another said: "It and makes me think of autumn and cosy sweaters."
