Seven notes crowd the very top of Fidji Perfume alone, hyacinth, galbanum, iris, bergamot, lemon, and tuberose opening the composition in an ambitious green floral rush unlike most typical releases today. Aldehydes, jasmine, ylang ylang, cloves, orris root, violet, spicy notes, and rose crowd the middle with extraordinary abundance that keeps developing for hours as it wears. Oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, musk, resins, amber, and patchouli settle the dry down into dense, resinous richness that lasts through an entire evening.
Formal evenings and special occasions both suit this green floral Eau De Toilette especially well, rewarding real patience with its considerable depth. Guy Laroche never simplified it for a faster read, layered and entirely deliberate at every single stage from top to base.
