Funfair is a experience in a bottle. Days spent at a carnival near the sea with the woody tones, sweet memories of the food midway where the smells all blended together. Its a fun ride into nostalgia that makes hearts warm to the simple pleasures in life growing up.

Hmm.. not really…….
Sugar and pistachio with doses of cinnamon. Too much nuts is going on in here and it’s not quite balanced.
I had sort of high hope for this one, but i guess it’s not what i thought it is. I’ll be sampling it again and will see how it will go.
Edit (16th Aug 2017) Oh my i got a disgusting note, i believe it’s a metallic, saliva, sea salt, and seashells blended with pistachio, and few nuts! i just can’t tolerate with it at the moment.

This is the second of the trio given to me by that very kind Fragrantican and it might be my favorite.
Funfair is undeniably unique, and for me, it was a bit off-putting at first. This went on dry; I mean bone dry, dry wood chips and dry cinnamon dry. But, this is another a fragrance not meant to be judged by first encounters. After the initial dryness came a corn tortilla scent. The pamphlet that came with this said it was meant to invoke churros, which I think if you mean a Churro impression rather than a realistic depiction, then, yes, possibly.
After a few hours, it started to sweetness just a little, and then it hit me. Funfair is a replica of those long, hot evenings in the carnival. Some sweet, a lot of spice, woods from the animal stalls and buildings, kettle corn, mixed with the sweat of people and animals and dry desert winds. At this point, I really started liking this. Every now and then I will get a waft of the sweetest, spiciest scent, but it is not sweet like a cupcake or chocolate perfume.
I consider this much more oriental than gourmand but it’s intriguing, nonetheless. Like I said, as much as I really get a blast from Suntan Glam (also FB worthy) and respect the craftsmanship and art of Lisbon Blues, FunFair is such a curious scent that I love it. FB worthy in my opinion.

This one is an oddball, but likable. It opens as a creamy, almond-like scent and closes as a beach-like scent—not suntan lotion, mind you, but the smell of the actual beach, ozone, sand, saltwater, etc. I like it. It is very sweet in the beginning, but that goes completely away! Sweet to salty? It is in vogue now…..

Sugar and spice and all things nice; that’s what they say women are made of; and even though I can’t possibly vouch for all women having inside knowledge, I can certainly vouch for Funfair. And the secret that makes this gourmand/Oriental (would that be gourmental ?!)so wearable is the spice. It keeps it sweet but not cloying as I find many of the kind to be. But, first things first. On application the sweet notes and Cinnamon burst free and delicious. I kept thinking that I knew this smell as it had a nutty character in its sweetness; and then I remembered that it smelt just like some homemade delicacies we eat in Greece made of sesame, sweet meats, Cinnamon, raisins and occasionally pastry. This phase lasts long and soon is paired with caramel and vanilla the latter adding a sensational smoothness to the composition. Fruit, wood and florals though not strong they provide a necessary platform for the main players to perform and add depth and variety preventing the sweet elements to monopolise the whole mix and also adding depth. I found Funfair very soothing with a sweetness that is appealing but not cavity inducing. Excellent blending of notes and quality ingredients provide here very good sillage and longevity especially on cloth. If you love gourmands this is an unmissable especially on cold weather as its sweetness and warmth radiates such comfort. Simply beautiful!
