Fakhama by Maison Asrar

Eau de Parfum • Women/Unisex-Leaning • Oriental Floral-Gourmand

Fakhama is a refined and alluring oriental floral fragrance that combines delicate orange blossom and gourmand elements with rich vanilla and soft white flowers, supported by a warm, sensual musk base. It wears elegantly and has a sweet-floral character with gourmand warmth, making it suitable for both evening and cooler days.

Inspiration / Dupe

While Maison Asrar does not officially market Fakhama as a dupe of any designer perfume, it is commonly discussed in fragrance communities as having a similar sweet, vanilla-gourmand vibe to Love Don’t Be Shy by Kilian,  particularly in the gourmand floral sweetness, without it being an exact scent match. This is a community observation, not a brand claim. 

Notes

What it smells like

Fakhama opens with a sweet, gourmand floral lift from orange blossom and gourmand accords. The heart deepens into a creamy blend of vanilla and soft white flowers that feel feminine and comforting. The dry-down rests on a warm musky base, providing a smooth, sensual finish with lingering sweetness. The overall character is sweet, floral, and cozy with a hint of elegance and softness.
