Hamidi Fondue Tropical is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Fondue Tropical opens with Red Fruits, Lemon, Ginger, and Mango, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Coumarin, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Hamidi's Fondue Tropical carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Skip this one unless you're absolutely obsessed with the idea of a tropical fruit oud. It's a bit of a mish-mash, trying to do too much without quite getting any of it right. Divisive and probably quite forgettable.

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
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built on amber, woody and fruity - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date

The bold, somewhat clashing amber, woody, and animalic accords with prominent fruit mean this is far too much for the office. It might work for a casual evening if you want to make a statement, but it's not universally appealing enough for a date or formal event. The heavy nature makes it unsuitable for sport.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Hamidi's Fondue Tropical opens with a chaotic jumble of sweet mango, sharp red berries, and a zing of ginger and lemon - a full-on fruit explosion that's more jarring than refreshing. It quickly descends into a cloying sweetness with powdery coumarin and a hint of jasmine struggling to make themselves known. The base is an overly ambitious blend of heavy oud, animalic musk, and dry cedar, amplified by cypriol and a thick amber. The tropical top never really gels with the dense, woody-animalic foundation, leaving a confused and unbalanced scent.
