Faberlic Fortunata is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Alain Allione. Fortunata opens with Red Apple and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Gardenia, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Almond. Faberlic's Fortunata carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a bit divisive then, isn't it? Many find it a pretty, shampoo-fresh floral with a surprising kick, while others are left cold by its powdery, 'old-fashioned' vibe.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and 'shampooey' character, make it a great everyday, casual wear scent. It's pleasant enough for the office but might lack the gravitas for formal events.

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

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • 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

Opens with a bright, juicy hit of red apple and mandarin before a floral heart blossoms with rose, iris, and gardenia, all tinged with a hint of cherry. It settles into a comforting base of sweet vanilla, tonka, and almond, grounded by a clean musk and earthy patchouli. It's more fresh floral than outright gourmand.
