My first perfume, my most beloved perfume, the best perfume.
What a shame I can't even find the body cream or any other body product anymore. Is it true one can still find the extrait or cream in Paris? Let me know where.

My favorite for around 25 years. I miss the body lotion so much!!!!!!!! I was addicted to being totally wrapped in it. There was a time I had it in a body wash too. Maybe I will just have to go Paris, just to get my hands on Fidji everything again. Sign.

When I first feel in love with it, what made me adore it was that it was light, yet intoxicating; fresh, yet complicated. It didn't have that powdery or overpowering scent it seemed everything had at the time. Always received compliments and was always asked what perfume are you wearing.

Now I wear it and smells beautiful without feeling like I am dating myself because Fidji is timeless. But, it isn't quite the same in the EDT. I don't even bother with that. The closest I can come to feeling enveloped in it is in the perfume. Unfortunately, it almost makes me sad to just catch of whiff here and there. Like remember how good it used to be....

Sorry I am not good at describing notes. It is linear, as some say, meaning what you initially smell is how it stays...on me anway, when I catch a whiff all to infrequently.

I was digging around in a drawer and came upon a sample vial of this, so I decided to use it one day. It was so AMAZING I immediately charged out and bought a bottle of it. Now I'm not very much into perfumes, I have quite a few already and certainly didn't feel the need for any more. But this fragrance is just so special, and so different from the ones I have. It's the perfect fragrance to wear every day (unlike most of the ones I have like Opium and J'Adore which for me are too strong to wear all the time). Well maybe it's just the sandalwood and jasmin, those 2 scents always smell good to me! Unlike a lot of fragrances Fidji doesn't change on me and turn yucky smelling after a while.

Such a classic fragrance! It opens very fresh and green, then warms up on my skin with the perfect blend of soft white flowers and a hint of rose, not that powdery and old ladyish but sweet and fresh rose. I smell the spicy carnation in the drydown which makes the whole composition reminiscent of the aroma of frangipani blooming in my yard. I'm not sure whether there is frangipani note in this but it smells like fresh frangipani with a hint of spices...very earthy and exotic. A classic fragrance that will never smell outdated for modern women. This one's worth a try!

This is absolutely wonderful! I used to wear Fidji a lot years ago but for some reason never replaced my bottle when it ran out. Recently a friend on MUA sent me a decant and I was just so happy to smell this old favourite again - it smells just as beautiful on the skin as it does in the sample vial! It's an intoxicatingly lush fresh green floral - a true floral though, with no fruity or vanilla notes on my skin. I can smell tuberose and jasmine mostly, on a woody base, and the fragrance retains its cool greenness for 4-5 hours on my skin. This is a bright, vivacious and breezy perfume, clean rather than powdery, and perfect for the summer. Absolutely FBW!

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G fragrance. It's cool & green -- lush, yet dry -- and despite it's name not too tropical but smells like a cool breeze.You can tell this is a fragrance that is older -- when perfumes were not formulated to smell like fruit and flowers, but rather -- clean woman -- enhanced by lush tropicals.. However, even though it's older -- it remains a classic and is ideal for this modern woman. I am old enough to remember Fidji's ad campaign that stated 'every woman is an island -- Fidji is her fragrance'. Ahhh -- breathtakingly elegant and representative of the sign of the times during the women's movement of the late '60s. Lovely -- elegant and uniquely different than the myriad of fruity tropical florals out there -- What's great about Fidji as well is it's linear -- meaning it doens't morph into something else over time. It remains consistant in it's delightful fragrance. Fidji is indeed exotic and enchanting -- and named very appropriately. FBW for sure.

I was happy to read the two previous positive reviews of Fidji, and I totally agree with them. Fidji is green and flowery at the same time, and in a very good way. I have the vintage and the "revamped" version, and while the vintage Fidji might be a bit more perfumey in the old-fashioned way, they both smell extremely nice, and I couldn't even decide which one I like better. A long time ago one of my co-workers used the body lotion of Fidji, and I used to think that this must be one of the best body lotions on the market, reflecting beautifully the scent. Sadly, the body lotion is no longer sold in my country. Together with Patou's Colony, this is my favourite tropical fragrance.

Fidji is an understated and nowadays very underrated scent, imo. It's green in the beginning but as it melts down it beginns to get floral (the jasmine and carnation are prominent), later the base is wonderfully woody.
It is an 'idea', an interpretation of the tropics that lacks any hints of coconut, vanilla, bananaboat or pineapple but is to me the true TIKI. Naturally, fresh, blithe but with a sensous deepness in its soul.

Picture a mossy palmforest on an exotic island at sunrise. The sound of wavelets licking on the shore, palmetto leaves draw a pattern on your white-bedsheet. Shades of green and the air is filled by a breeze of floral aromas coming in through the blinds.

A typical sixties scent because it features the woods and greens that were en voge at that time (patchouli, galbanum, sandalwood, clove), it's sparkling fresh (on hot days i use it from the refrigerator) but never smelling 'cold' on your skin.
As i am toiling with greens (cool metallic ones or those going into chypre direction) normally, i am always surprised of how much i love it.

I admit it. I have a penchant for fragrances from certain decades, namely, the teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 60s and 70s. To my nose, Fidji smells as wonderful today as it would have back in the 60s when it was first released. It's interesting to smell different interpretations of the tropics. Take, for instance, two opposite ends of that interpretation: Patou's Colony and Guy Laroche's Fidji. Both are well constructed, devastatingly gorgeous fragrances, yet are polar opposites. I'm not a huge fan of straight up florals. But I make an exception for Fidji, and Fidji is a straight up floral. This is one beautiful fragrance. It's intoxicating without being overpowering. It's intensely feminine without being cloying. It's sweet without being syrupy. It has green notes, but they're subtle and well balanced. Lasting power is excellent. And what's more, it doesn't turn into something faunky and brassy (read: after-shavey) on my skin. It reminds me of the smell experienced when one sticks her nose into a tropical lily. I read somewhere that the formula of Fidji may have been changed recently. The mini I bought is probably the newer formula, if that rumor is true. Still, the fragrance is excellent and captures tropical paradise in such a way that Fidji is a must try for floral lovers.

Very old-fashined, very powdery green and dry! Soemthing what my grandmama would love to wear!
