FARIS

Faris is an eau de parfum by Kajal Perfumes Paris, elegant, fresh and confident: a woody aromatic that combines citrus, apple and lavender with a spicy heart and a warm base of amber and vetiver. Signed by Urs Castelletti and David Chieze, it is a versatile, refined perfume created for those who love freshness with character.

The Fragrance

Faris belongs to the Classic Collection and was launched in 2022. In Arabic its name evokes the noble spirit of a knight, famed for valour and loyalty: for the brand it is an invitation to cherish the most authentic virtues, such as honesty, dignity and justice, which are worth more than any material wealth. The bottle, coated in a dark silver, is decorated with a geometric motif inspired by palm leaves, a symbol of victory, peace and resilience.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is bright and sparkling: bergamot, lemon and orange join crisp apple, lavender and juniper berries. In the heart the fragrance becomes spicy and elegant, with coriander, nutmeg and clove softened by rose and jasmine. The base is warm and refined: amber and tonka bean rest on sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver, in a clean, long-lasting trail.

Who We Recommend Faris To

We recommend Faris to those who love fresh, aromatic perfumes with an elegant character, and to those looking for an easy-to-wear niche fragrance for every day, at the office as well as in the evening. It is at its best in spring, summer and on mild autumn days. It is unisex, with a masculine-leaning imprint that many women love too.

FAQ

Does Faris smell like Dior Sauvage?
It is the most frequent comparison: many enthusiasts call it a niche version of Sauvage, more refined and smoother. It is also compared to Parfums de Marly Percival and Layton, for its mix of citrus, lavender and spices over an ambery base.

Faris or Kajal III?
It depends on your style: Kajal III is a sparkling citrus with grapefruit, lemon soda and ambroxan, while Faris is more aromatic and fougère, with lavender, juniper and spices. Both are fresh and versatile, but Faris has a more classic, elegant character.

Is it suitable for the office and everyday wear?
Yes, it is one of its strengths: the sillage is present but never intrusive, and reviews speak of several hours of wear on skin, even longer on clothes. It works well by day and by night.

What does Faris mean?
In Arabic the name evokes the noble spirit of a knight, famed for courage and loyalty. The brand chose it to celebrate authentic virtues, such as honesty and dignity, which are worth more than any wealth.
