If you're after a loud, proud lily bomb with an animalic edge, this is it. It's gloriously extra and not for the faint of heart, but if you want to make a statement, Fortitude delivers.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Built on white floral, citrus and woody - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its potent white floral nature and animalic undertones, Fortitude is best suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. It's too commanding for a casual setting, but shines brightly for dates or formal occasions where you want to make a lasting impression.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Fortitude opens with a bright, almost tart burst of blackcurrant and bergamot, quickly ushering in a grand, creamy white floral spectacle. Lily takes centre stage, flanked by a heady jasmine and the lush, tropical sweetness of ylang-ylang. As it settles, a clean, slightly abstract woody base anchors the floral opulence, with a subtle animalic undertone adding depth and intrigue. It's a bold, unapologetic floral.
