Replica - Funfair Evening

Star anise and neroli collide with pear ester in an almost medicinal burst—sweet yet peppery, like biting into a spiced pear whilst standing outside a candy stall. The petitgrain adds a crisp brightness that prevents the composition from sinking into pure gourmand territory, creating an initial impression of cheerful restlessness.

The florals unveil themselves with deliberate slowness, the orange blossom and tuberose creating a dense, almost creamy floral bed. Here the fragrance becomes softer, warmer, more sensual—the spice recedes and caramel begins its subtle ascent, transforming the white flowers into something almost intimate, like pressing your face into expensive upholstery.

Caramel, vanilla, and ambrox settle into a musky, creamy base that clings gently to the skin rather than projecting. The florals fade to whispers, and what remains is a skin scent that smells faintly like warm dessert and heated fabric—intimate, almost private, the way the funfair smells when you're the last to leave.
