Ted Lapidus Fantasme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Pierre Bourdon. Fantasme opens with Green, Bergamot, Violet, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla.

This 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, drawing strong opinions on its intense fruity and powdery character. It's unique, but definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before diving into its distinctive vintage charm.

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its sweet, dense fruity-floral profile, make it a bit much for the office. However, its warming, sensual quality and vintage charm are well-suited for dates and formal events, though perhaps too strong for casual wear in large doses.

About

Fantasme opens with a juicy explosion of peach and pineapple, intertwined with the delicate powderiness of violet and a hint of green freshness. As it settles, a sweet raspberry note emerges, blending with a floral heart of orris, rose, jasmine, and lily of the valley. The dry-down is a cosy embrace of creamy vanilla, warm sandalwood, and a soft, lingering musk, giving it a rich, almost syrupy depth with a touch of woody sophistication.
