Soap and patchouli
F for Fascinating is very pink and girly.
In a way it is subtle, especially with its clean-like quality. It smells to me like a very feminine bar of soap. Clean and pretty.
The mandarin orange isn't too strong in F for Fascinating, in fact it is somewhat synthetic. However this aspect does not bother me.
Honestly this fragrance can give you a bad headache if you over-apply. As soon as the patchouli kicks in, it takes on a whole new meaning of sillage. I do love the patchouli though. It gives this fragrance that interesting earthiness.
I'm not too familiar with chypres as I haven't been exposed to many, but from what I've experienced here in this fragrance, I understand the concept a lot better. F for Fascinating is simplistic yet fashionable.
The lasting power is very good. I'm actually excited to wear this fragrance during Spring and Summer.
