Which Should You Buy?
Fidji is a glorious vintage floral chypre, a timeless classic some find dated but many adore for its unique green, spicy, and powdery character. It's a journey back to a more sophisticated era.
A truly polarising Tom Ford offering. Ombre de Hyacinth isn't for the faint-hearted, nor for those expecting a pure hyacinth floral. This one's an acquired taste, with some finding it a brilliant green floral and others dismissing it as cheap aftershave.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its elegant and sophisticated floral-chypre profile makes it versatile for date nights and formal events. While a bit strong for a strict office setting, its unique character works well for casual wear and can be applied lightly for daytime occasions.
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and green profile, often described as soapy or like a 'wet garden', makes it quite suitable for office wear where some reviewers enjoyed it. However, its significant sillage and a divisive 'aftershave' perception mean it's less ideal for dates or situations where subtlety is paramount, despite being well-wearing.
