by Sonia Constant

Les Liquides Imaginaires Fortis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Sonia Constant. The fragrance settles into a heart of Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, Cedar, and Amyris, and dries down to a base of Ambergris, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Fortis: Acquired

Prepare for division: Fortis is a moody, woody beast that delivers a dark, sensual punch. While some find it a softer, more wearable ode to Black Afgano, others dismiss it as a mere imitation. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably captivating.

Best Seasons

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong, woody, and spicy character, Fortis is best reserved for evening dates and formal events where its richness can shine. Its intensity makes it less suitable for casual daytime wear or office environments, and definitely not for sport.

About

Fortis opens with an intense wave of earthy oud and warm spices, touched by a hint of cumin that quickly mellows. This gives way to a heart of rich, dry woods - guaiac, cedar, and vetiver - creating a mysterious forest floor vibe. The dry down is a comforting, musky blend of sandalwood and ambergris, softened by a whisper of vanilla, making for a dark yet inviting finish.
