Histoires de Parfums Fidelis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Julien Rasquinet. Fidelis opens with Cardamom, Saffron, Cumin, and Coffee, and settles into a heart of Rose and Raspberry. Histoires de Parfums's Fidelis carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a bold, divisive scent - a proper 'love it or hate it' affair. When it works, it's a phenomenal spicy oud with a fruity twist. If it doesn't, expect rubbery, cloying chaos.

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.

Date Formal

Given its beast-mode performance and strong, opulent accords, Fidelis is entirely too much for the office or sport. It's a showstopper for dates and formal evening events, with some reviewers even finding it suitable for casual wear in colder months.

About

Fidelis kicks off with a complex, spicy embrace of cardamom, saffron, and cumin, quickly joined by a dark, rich coffee note. As it settles, a luscious, almost jammy raspberry emerges, mingling with a subtly present rose and a deep, sometimes animalic oud. The drydown reveals a velvety amber and patchouli, creating a warm, multifaceted Eastern gourmand experience that can oscillate between delicious and challenging.
