MY personal experiences with the Fidji perfume started when I was a child ..and it was resumed some years ago, when I got a box full of many different brands of perfumes in miniature flacones. One of these small bottles contained the Fidji perfume. The moment I put my nose to the little flacon's opening, I was transported back to a time of my childhood,to wonderful trips to Italy with my parents, to my mother's exciting, silk lined handbag, to her crackling clean dresses and femininity, to summer holidays and sparkling drinks. This parfume was the one she always used then, I realized! It was a treasure discovery, and I swore I would always keep the tiny flacon in a safe place, and only use it for mental trips back in time, when needed, via smelling it . However, a few weeks ago I strangely reached the conclusion, that I might now be at the crossroads on which I was to decide for good, if I wanted to keep Fidji as a memory generator, or if I would actually attempt to transcend the boundaries between past and present, parents and child, and try using the perfume on my own skin. I found my little Fidji flacon, which I had not handled for at least a year, and I was amazed at how little perfume was left in the bottle! I suppose it evaporates by itself over time, because I had not used the perfume itself, ever, but had merely sniffed the scent. It was an enormous pleasure to return to this scent, and indeed to allow myself to even wear it on my own skin. {I think that Fidji is the one perfume in the world, which I instinctively am most attracted to, even though I have learned that you should use more sophisticated fragrances like Mitsouko and Shalimar - which I also like lots, for the record). I wonder if my adoration of Fidji simply is due to my memory aspect of it, or if the scent in itself is enough to make me swoon. I do so love the scent from my little flacon. I find it clean, yet lush, and definitely very warm in an alluring and unique way. This scent is a jewel and a masterpiece, for sure - a perfect creation, like a sunny, beautiful child who has a very open, curious, trusting mind. For nights, now, I have been dabbing some of the perfume on my wrist, and have stayed awake and sniffed my wrist in the dark, long into the night, and for days, I have been looking forward to going over to the cabinet where the little flacon is kept, to take a sniff. The smell makes me feel so good. Whatever the case, there is almost no perfume left in the small flacon, and I have intercepted a slight odor of alcohol in the aroma, which makes me suspect that the fragrance will soon be too old .. So I ordered a new bottle of Fidji, and it arrived yesterday. I was pleased beyond words to get this new flacon, and was looking forward to really turning myself into a user of the Fidji perfume. However, I was also a little nervous, as I had read some reviews here, which were critical of the new edition of the perfume ~ and alas, as I sprayed a whiff of the new Fidji on my wrist, I instantly knew that what I had read was true. It is as if the clear, deep, immaculately happy smell of the Fidji from my small flacon, in the new bottle has been turned into something entirely different. As if the deep, amber clarity has been contaminated with something foggy and vague - something that perhaps is supposed to be sexy and feminine, but which destroys the essence of Fidji, as I perceive it. I am a total novice in the fragrance world, when it comes to expressions and identification of the various components of a fragrance, so I do not know what happened, but I really think that the perfume has changed character to such a degree that it is difficult to recognize it. There is only a faint echo of its former wonderful soul. The sunny,happy child has grown up and become an ordinary, troubled adult. I think that my starting adventure with Fidji thus is destroyed, and now , again, I only have the little flacon with a bottom scraper of the old perfume to stick to .. and I will use it as I originally did, only as a memory developer. Having said all this, I do like the new Fidji scent, and will perhaps use it .. Yes, I do think I will use it, and cling to the hope that some of its original soul will turn up, or hang around the fringes. (Had I not known the smell of the original Fidji, I would probably have REALLY liked the new Fidji, butone thing that I simply can't understand is why they have changed this scent? Is there no way to get the old one back? ) Aug062015 www.fragrantica.com Fragrance Review For Fidji Eau De Parfum By Guy Laroche Top Notes Galbanum Hyacinth Lemon Middle Notes Cloves Rose Jasmine Violet Base Notes Patchouli Sandalwood Amber Musk Oak Moss Among my prolific catalog of reviews I wrote one for the current formula of the Eau de Toilette. It's a lighter and easier to wear floral scent which I described as being atmospheric and evocative of the island of Fiji in the South Pacific. The EDT is a calm, toned down scent compared to the Eau de Parfum. If the EDT was a quick trip to Fiji the EDP is Fiji itself in a bottle, and a fragrance of one that has made Fiji their home. The vintage 1966 EDP comes in a glass bottle with an oddly shaped stopper. This is not a spray but a splash bottle. It's definitely outdated and old fashioned, and in the 1960's, florals and chypres were in vogue as they had been since the 30's and 40's. I used to think the 60's was an innovative experimental time in perfumery but the fragrances of this decade looked back 20 years before and honored the aromas of the past. Fidji is one such perfume. At the first whiff of Fiji, a light aldehyde note reached my nose. It's soapy at first, like when you actually put your nose to hand soap. The scent of hyacinth dominates the fragrance, from beginning to end. The purple florals are big players here. Other than that distinctive hyacinth, there's a violet flower that is married to the hyacinth. There is no fruit notes listed but every time I smell this beautiful perfume I smell something a tad fruity. It smells like it could be that lemon but it's not very lemony either. It's like a pomegranate or blood orange. It's only there briefly before the flower scent appear. Violets and hyacinth come and go and before long a rose makes herself at home on this island. It's like a garden you've stumbled into while wandering in a deserted island. For me the rose is like an exotic Caribbean rose, long extinct, but blooming in an island beyond Fiji, an island that has never been discovered or was once in an 18th century map and discovered by seafaring explorers but then vanished. This is a sweet and very feminine rose, a woman's rose. It's like a mother's embrace. The heady florals invite cloves and patchouli, aromatic, earthier scents, which begin the dry down and last part of the fragrance's performance. Because this is a parfum, every note is detectable, and give it a richer more vibrant aroma that is missing in the current formula. The scent of sandalwood brings everything together. It's a woodsy scent typical of a chypre. This is that same woodsy smell I get from other beauties like Crepe de Chine by F. Millot and Coty's Sophia, Sophia Loren's perfume. This is a rose among woods type of scent. Galbanum, the beautiful aromatic green and musky nocturnal herb, is here again. There is nothing I love better than a good galbanum. It begins to dominate the entire scent although there is still enough room for the other notes to play. This feels like you're lazily tanning yourself on the beach of the island, and the afternoon sun begins to set in the horizon. From a distance you get those flowery smells of violets, roses and hyacinths but you also get the scent of cloves, patchouli, galbanum and sandalwood. The fragrance begins to get smaller, as if the whole thing is shrinking. Amber, not resinous but soapy and gooey, begins to envelop the fragrance toward the end. It's not big on musk, it's clearly amber in the end. It's almost like the whole island was destroyed by an active volcano and only parts of it were preserved in amber. The amber has preserved the fragrance of the island's flowers and woods. Something about this perfume makes me feel like it's beyond exotic, it's primordial, it's prehistoric. I might be reading too much into it, but I am! This is a gorgeous floral woodsy scent. If you like how this sounds and you are a fan of galbanum, hyacinth, sandalwood and amber, this is a perfume that has perfectly aligned all these scents together. Highly recommended for late afternoon wear, for Sundays at home, for romantic dates, for vacations and for the pleasure of whomever wears this magic island captured in amber.
