Farouche Nina Ricci for women

It's over two hours later and suddenly Farouche has let it's long seventies hair down. It actually has gone a bit wilder. Take my hand, walk through the long grass, into the trees near the river.
Oops, now its something like a fougere and I'm not sure again. Interesting though. Worth hanging around after.

Farouche means sullen and shy in company but with a wild cranky charm.
It smells generically like the 1970's to me. It's not horrible, just very dated, cranky like it's wearing polyester and shy because it's older than everyone else at the party and it wants to go home, put comfy shoes on and be wild in the only way it knows how; dancing alone to Neil Diamond.

I love it.....but PLEASE, bring back "Bigarade!!!!"

the bottle looks like a little frog :D but lovely way. nice design, very nina ricci!

Why, oh why won't they bring this one back? Warm, classy, sophisticated and feminine but completely unpretentious - it was my signature fragrance many moons ago and oh, how I wish it still could be. And the beautiful heart-shaped bottles complemented it so beautifully.

Many perfumes come and go but some touch you in a way that makes you LONG to bathe yourself in them again - Farouche is and, I suspect, always will be THAT perfume for me.

I would buy again in a minute if I could find this fragrance for nostalgic reasons. However when I look at the notes - they are among my favorites today,.
With Oakmoss, vetiver, geranium, carnation it is no wonder I loved Farouche

I wore it daily as a young high school teacher in the 1970's. The kids used to tell me they loved it.
Now I would hesitate to be guided by the tastes of teenages - perhaps my loss ?

This and Je Reviens were first perfumes I bought for myself, with my own money. Wore them both all through high school and college. Lovely. I miss Farouche.

My wild, beautiful Farouche...

A tomboy fragrance of the long lost era.
A child lost in the woods...
The old house with high beams, harboring ghosts.
The bitter plants that grew on ruins.

I don`t see it as an old fashioned scent, though everything screams about it - aldehydes, complex ingredients, 1973. It is a scent of a woman who smokes cigars, rides wild horses and has no fear of the future, because she left all the fears in the past.She is down to earth and her hands are not manicured.Children run to her and animals trust her...
That`s what is Farouche to me.
