Guy Laroche Fidji is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1966, created by Joséphine Catapano. Fidji opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Lemon, and Iris, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resins, Amber, and Sandalwood. Guy Laroche's Fidji carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This legendary green floral is a time capsule, evocative of a certain era. Whether it's a nostalgic trip or a fresh discovery, Fidji is a quintessential classic despite reformulations dampening its original strength. A love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent thanks to its distinct vintage 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.

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean character make it versatile for most daytime settings, including the office, but its subtle nature may get lost in very formal evening events. Many consider it an everyday wear, perfect for casual outings or a relaxed office environment.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Fidji blooms with a lush opening of prominent green notes from galbanum and hyacinth, brightened by a whisper of citrus. Transitioning to a floral heart of iris, rose, and jasmine, it's underpinned by a subtle, creamy warmth of sandalwood, amber, and earthy oakmoss. It's a fresh, yet refined, tropical forest rather than a fruity beach.
