· Pure Oil One Ounce, Half Ounce, Quarter Ounce & 14-day Sample Sizes

Let us introduce you to your fragrance the way it was meant to be - Pure perfume without alcohol or other useless & toxic fillers. Discover what the designer had in mind - smooth, long-lasting, rich, balanced and full of luscious aroma. Never offensive or overpowering, long lasting and balanced. They occupy only your own private space and leave a gentle trail only where you choose.

Just like jewels, pure fragrance oils vary tremendously in quality. We have put an enormous amount of effort into selecting the best possible quality pure fragrance oils of every type and the thousands of positive store and fragrance reviews are proof. We've been changing the way people think about fragrance since 1996 with many happy & beautiful smelling customers to prove it.

Day after day, customers tell us our versions smell better than the originals. Perhaps the lack of alcohol and, in many cases, higher quality oils than those found in the "original" makes the difference. Ounce for ounce, our perfume bottles contain fifteen to twenty times as much pure perfume oil as the typical Eau de Toilette, but choosing pure fragrance oils is not so much a question of saving money, as it is of getting your money's worth.

Usage:
A drop or two at most should be all you need. Unlike conventional perfumes, our oils are alcohol and filler free, so it may take a minute or two for the slowly warming scent to emit its full bouquet. The fragrance will be smoother and better balanced than any alcohol-driven aroma and well worth the wait.

Our fragrance oils last most people six to twenty-four hours, depending upon skin type, evaporating naturally during the course of the day. Our pure perfume oils also last longer in the bottle - commercial perfumes with fillers spoil, sometimes in as little as twelve months, but pure perfume oils retain their fragrance year after year.

Customer Reviews

A beautiful fragrance classic
I bought my Fidji type from The Fragrance Shop in the summer but brought it out today on a day of freezing rain and ice. It is perfect for this grey and very cold day, enveloping me in a fresh green floral.blanket. Fidji is a green floral chypre and as another reviewer has said, it is not tropical in the usual sense of the word. It is more like the coastline by the ocean of parts of Europe, where pine trees and herbs and flowers abound, and as such I feel it can lend itself to both hot and cold weather wearing, as I feel the true classic fragrances often do. Fidji is a classic and has been reformulated recently. From reviews I've read, the original version is smoother and creamier and less harsh and watery than the current reformulation. I am writing my review today comparing the Fidji type perfume oil to the vintage (1980's) version of Fidji, perfume strength. I have the perfume oil on my left wrist and the vintage Fidji on my right to compare. Initially, The Fragrance Shop version's Fidji had a slightly soapy note and the original vintage Fidji had a stronger blast of the galbanum note. However, within five minutes as the oil settled into my skin, the two became almost identical. Thirty minutes into wearing the fragrance, the woody sandalwood and vetiver note of the vintage original becomes a bit more prominent than the perfume oil. For both of them, the green and fresh hyacinth and creamy white flower notes as well as the other floral notes and spice from the carnation are equally present and well-balanced. The woody note of The Fragrance Shop's perfume oil then comes forward with the oakmoss. At the drydown it is a beautiful mingling of the woody notes and the resins and musk with some remaining oakmoss and florals. The Fragrance Shop's version is clearly formulated based on the vintage version of Fidji, and I feel they have done an outstanding job of capturing this wonderful fragrance, and enabling us to still experience it as part of our fragrance wardrobe. Thank you to the gifted perfumers at The Fragrance Shop!

Unique!
The opening impression of this Laroche scent is green and fresh with a cool floral heart, with the green perfume of hyacinth among the citrus. Other well blended flowers appeared until the entrance of the woodiness of sandalwood. A musky drydown, delicate and elegant ends the journey of this bittersweet scent. Despite its name, Fidji is not a tropical fragrance,but it certainly is a unique one.
