Guy Laroche Fidji is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1966, created by Joséphine Catapano. Fidji opens with Violet Leaf and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Spicy, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Guy Laroche's Fidji carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

This isn't your mum's Fidji. The EDP is a controversial departure from the classic EDT, leading to some serious disappointment for those expecting a 'blast from the past'. It's an 'old-school' floral spicy bomb - love it or hate it, it makes a statement.

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for an office environment, but it shines in formal settings or on a date where its 'old-school elegance' can be appreciated. While some find it 'very clean smelling', it's too potent for sport.

About

Fidji EDP opens with a warm, almost dry cardamom spiced violet leaf, swiftly moving into a rich, powdery floral heart. Expect opulent iris, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, underpinned by a distinctive spicy carnation. The whole affair settles into a musky, woody base of sandalwood and patchouli, creating a complex and assertive aroma that lingers with confident presence.
