Fever 54

Fever 54 by the British house The Perfumer's Story by Azzi, released in 2015 and composed by Azzi Glasser, is a powdery rose with oud and musk, positioned as a feminine fragrance. Everyone who describes it calls it floral; about two thirds also find it woody and musky, and a minority notice spicy or resinous sides.

Rose and May rose form the heart, soft, slightly honeyed and more romantic than sharp, with ylang-ylang adding a creamy, tropical richness. Saffron brings a warm, leathery spice, and artemisia a faint bitter-green edge that keeps the sweetness in check. Agarwood sits underneath with a dark, resinous wood, benzoin adds a sweet balsamic warmth, and powdery notes with musk give the drydown a soft, cosmetic, skin-like finish.

Fever 54 suits autumn and winter and evening wear, and it will appeal to someone who likes rose-and-oud scents softened with powder rather than kept dark.
