Les Liquides Imaginaires Fortis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Sonia Constant. Fortis settles into a heart of Amyris, Cedar, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Les Liquides Imaginaires's Fortis carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.
