I love my bottle of Incendo (best campfire fragrance on the block) so I was eager to try the other samples I had received from La Curie, including Faunus. Cedar, woods, aromatic fresh spices and some herbal tones are what I mainly get from this fragrance, which I find to be a quite a nice woody aromatic scent. It’s a quality fragrance that is well formulated. On the flip-side, it is not unique and not an exciting fragrance.
Faunnus performs well in that it lasts 7+ hours and projects moderately on my skin. Overall, I feel this fine fragrance leans masculine and is most appropriate for the office or professional settings, but it is versatile and could easily be worn in other situations.
This fragrance is a solid like for me…and could easily be a love if I didn’t already have so many favorite woody aromatics fragrances in my Scent Armory. Definitely worth checking out!!!

It’s difficult not to like La Curie Faunus. An agreeable mix of cedar, oud, bergamot, and what must be just a pinch of hay, it’s a nice year-round semi-masculine blend that reminds me significantly of Banana Republic Black Walnut, but a better performer.
I barely get any hay, so mostly this is cedar and bergamot with hints of oud, and it does very much remind me of the tobacco/citrus pairing of Black Walnut. Faunus is similarly easy to wear, a slightly masculine fragrance that can be donned year-round in a variety of situations. Very nice and easy, but probably not one I need to add to my collection.
I’m certainly not as moved by this as Incendo overall but quite like it and would wear it plenty if I owned it, but feel I have something similar already in Black Walnut.

I’ve tried this perfume twice, even though I hated it the first time. All I can smell is petrol/gasoline, dust, Comet cleanser and a little bit of rubber tires burning in a fire. Not the worst I’ve ever smelled, but I do not wish to smell like these things.
I get no great woodsy smell, no cedar, which I was really hoping for, and none of the pleasant things the others are getting.
A scrubber for me.

Faunus is a curious creation – it’s a familiar scent, and one that’s hard to pinpoint. There’s a rubber-accord that I loved in Bvlgari’s Black; and a stony leather-vetiver petrichor feel that drew me close to Larrea. There’s a brush fire in the distant landscape, but nowhere near as pronounced as Incendo or Ossuary.
Well-balanced cedar and tame oud build an approachable atmosphere. Cedar, in the wrong hands, can be sharp as pencil-shavings. And well, oud can go barnyard, and wrong in many ways. Things are clean, refined, and relaxed in Faunus.
While far from being a dupe, if you’re friends with Bvlgari’s Black, you’ll have a blast with Faunus.

Fragrant woods inspired by a forest god! With a touch of oud and a preponderance of sylvan wood! The oud provides a dash of exotic in the cedar and wood accord, and overall it smells like a scent made to cleanse negative atmospheres and create sacred spaces! Clean, unisex, soft sillage, great longevity.

An excellent fragrance release from a new indie house. Watch my review on YouTube. Search Looking, Feeling, Smelling Great!
