Fragrance Review: “Fairchild” Natural Perfume from Anya’s Garden
“Fairchild” perfume is a beautiful fragrance created by natural perfumer Anya McCoy. This perfume contains three different jasmine blossoms: grandi, sambac and aruiculatum. These are blended with the lush ylang ylang and champaca flowers, which are combined with citrus notes and ambergris (and sea shells!)
Fairchild opens with a bright, lemony-citrus accord. After about 20 minutes, it transforms into a soft, white floral embrace. As I am finding to be the case with natural perfumes, the transformation from initial top-notes to final dry-down can be quite dramatic. I believe it has a lot to do with the synergy between the natural ingredients and the wearer’s own body chemistry. In this case, the dry down yielded a delicious, hypnotic, sensual fragrance with terrific staying-power.
As with all of her products, Fairchild is made from rare aromatics and unusual tinctured essences. It is blended in organic alcohol, uses beach-harvested ambergris, and is tested on people, not animals.
Fairchild is available online at Anya’s Garden.com. Anya is currently having a first-ever sale: Parfum extrait 3.5 ml - $36.00 sale price, eau de Parfum 15 ml spray - $72.00 sale price, Eau de Parfum sampler 2 ml Spray - $15.00 sale price.
