Brut Parfums Prestige Faberge Aphrodisia is a Cologne launched in 1938. Faberge Aphrodisia opens with Fruity Notes, Bergamot, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Civet. Brut Parfums Prestige's Faberge Aphrodisia carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A truly classic chypre that's stood the test of time, Aphrodisia is a beautiful, complex scent. It might not be for everyone, especially if you're sensitive to vintage animalics, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its sensual depth.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with its complex, 'adult' scent profile, make it better suited for evening events or intimate settings. While some found it refreshing for daywear, its depth leans away from a casual everyday or office scent.

About

Faberge Aphrodisia unfurls with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly joined by an intriguing medley of fruity notes. The heart blossoms into a rich, heady floral bouquet, where rose, jasmine, and a spicy carnation are sweetened by a touch of honey. As it settles, a sophisticated base emerges, grounding the scent with earthy oakmoss and vetiver, underpinned by a seductive hum of musk and a balanced, elegant civet.
