Chi Man by Farouk


This is an interesting fragrance I found by chance on eBay from hair styling product company Farouk. A modern cologne with some interesting twists. Starts out with a blast of soapy-dry notes and a slight cough-syrupy note that dissipates quickly. There is also some rosemary and a hint of lavender. This leads to a dry, soapy overall feel punctuated by a melony note, cumin and woods. It's an interesting mix of fruit, cumin and cedar at it's base. Interesting combination of modern and Mediterranean notes, fairly synthetic but enjoyable.
