Fetish (2002)
by Ayala Moriel

After a bracing citrus opening, fresh and tart, the composition of Fetish warms and sweetens. It never becomes tooth-achey, but simply softens the tart edges of the orange (most prominent) and other citrus fruits. In the background are the fir and vanilla, which which are beautifully paired. Neither ever becomes dominant. A beautiful citrus gourmand, very wearable, and beautifully crafted. My only criticisms are the longevity (as gloomy_liv has mentioned), and the name...the fragrance simply does NOT live up to its name. This is not a naughty spank on the buttocks, but rather a fond embrace around the shoulders! Still, WELL worth trying.

If you like your citrus, but not just your traditional lemons or oranges, than this is a nice addition to your fragrance collection. :)
The lemongrass is very strong for the first 10 minutes or so, but it's really nice. After a while the jasmine & a sweeter citrus note (probably the Litsea Cubeba) surface, and the drydown of green tea with a hint of vanilla is gorgeous.
My only 'negative' is that it only lasts about 2 and a half hours. Would love it to last longer - but, you can't have everything!! :)
