In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Fava Tonka by Ach. Brito is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Fava Tonka was launched in 2023.

Reviews →

Ted Lapidus Fantasme is a fruity floral from 1992 that smells like ripe peaches, purple violets, and warm vanilla. Designed for women who appreciate sweet, powdery vintage scents, it wears beautifully on cool spring days when you want a rich, nostalgic presence that stands out from modern sugary perfumes.
