I started doing Diwali perfume picks because I saw the big retailers and mainstream media completely getting it wrong, often picking the trending scent instead of what fit the times.
This year’s Diwali pick is Amouage Fate, equally opulent and restrained, a mix of soapy powdery incense, heady and cleansing. I love the clean smoke that this represents. Its as if the perfume represents the metaphorical cleansing of incense smoke mixed with a literal cleansing from a powdered Ivory soap. It’s so good, it lasts all day, with an intense projection to start, sillage for a few hours, and turning into a skin scent at the end of the day.
May light always prevail.
Happy Diwali.
