Guy Laroche Fidji Eau de Toilette is a 50ml floral-chypre fragrance for women — a classic, slightly green floral signature scent that has been a long-running favourite since its launch in 1966. Composed by celebrated perfumer Josephine Catapano, it captures the elegance of mid-20th-century French perfumery in a refined, timeless composition.
About Guy Laroche Fidji
Guy Laroche is the long-established Parisian fashion house, and Fidji — released in 1966 — was the brand's debut fragrance. Composed by Josephine Catapano, it remains one of the celebrated perfumer's most enduring works: a graceful floral-chypre that helped define a generation of feminine signature scents.
Fragrance notes

How it wears
The fragrance opens fresh and slightly green — galbanum, hyacinth and iris give an immediate impression of garden-fresh elegance, lifted by sparkling bergamot and lemon. The heart blooms into a generous floral bouquet, with jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose layered against orris root and violet for a refined, slightly powdery character, with cloves and spices adding warmth. As it dries down, oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood and amber wrap the composition in a deep, slightly chypre-leaning base that lingers gracefully on skin.
Who it's for
Fidji is for women who love classical, slightly grown-up floral perfumery — wearers who enjoy chypre-floral compositions, fans of vintage-style French signature scents and those rediscovering or sharing a beloved fragrance across generations. It is also a popular gift choice thanks to its broad appeal and timeless character.
How and when to wear it
This is a true day-to-evening fragrance and works beautifully year-round, with particularly strong performance through autumn and winter. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the inside of the elbows and the base of the throat — and avoid rubbing the wrists together so the floral heart can develop. The 50ml format is also a smart, handbag-friendly size for daily wear.
