By the editors · 2 min readFarah opens with a brisk citrus snap tempered by warm cinnamon and the faintly medicinal sweetness of styrax, setting a spiced but restrained tone. The opening doesn't linger long before leather and Virginia cedar take over, creating a dry, wood-paneled impression that feels more boardroom than boudoir. The leather here is supple rather than animalic, smoothed by the cedar's pencil-shaving clarity.
As it settles, tonka bean and benzoin add a vanillic softness that rounds the edges without turning sweet, while patchouli provides earthy ballast and musk keeps everything close to the skin. The result is a polished, masculine-leaning composition that balances spice and wood with just enough resinous warmth to avoid austerity.
Farah suits those who prefer their fragrances tailored and understated, built around cedar and leather rather than florals or gourmand excess. It occupies a middle ground between aromatic spice and soft woody amber.
