Fidelis
Fidelis by Histoires de Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with cardamom, coffee, saffron and cumin, moves into rose and raspberry and dries down to patchouli, amber and oud. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
