Bond No. 9 FiDi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Harry Frémont. FiDi opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lotus and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Vanilla. Bond No. 9's FiDi carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper enigma. FiDi opens with a synthetic blast that'll make some people wrinkle their noses, but give it a bit and it settles into a surprisingly clean, musky wonder that's garnered a cult following. It's divisive, but for many, it's a hidden gem.

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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Date Sport

FiDi's clean, fresh, and slightly discreet nature makes it suitable for office and casual wear, though its initial potent pepperiness might be a bit much for some enclosed spaces. While it's generally pleasant and won't offend, it's not quite bold enough for a formal statement or romantic enough for a hot date.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

FiDi kicks off with a sharp, peppery citrus burst, dominated by bergamot and a hint of mandarin. This initial punch quickly gives way to the aquatic freshness of lotus and warm, spicy nutmeg. The base then wraps things up with a clean, powdery musk, sturdy cedar, and a touch of creamy vanilla, creating an overall impression of a high-end, freshly scrubbed sensation.
