FORTIS

Fortis is a unisex Eau de Parfum by Liquides Imaginaires, part of the Eau Delà collection, dedicated to ritual offerings to the ancient gods. An oriental, woody and spicy fragrance for those who want depth and character in a scent that truly leaves a mark.

The Fragrance

Fortis's name and concept evoke a mystical black water, capable of driving out evil spirits with an indelible strength. The central theme is rebirth: like a fire that gives birth to new life from its own ashes, Fortis speaks of resilience, inner strength and renewal, with the image of the rising phoenix running through it as a guiding thread.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening of Fortis is intense and uncompromising: dense, resinous oud, warm and enveloping cumin, saffron and cypriol intertwine in a spicy, almost smoky accord. The heart moves onto a more woody register, with guaiac wood, cedar and amyris supporting one another, while vetiver adds an earthy, dry vein. In the base the fragrance warms up on sandalwood, amber and vanilla, joined by patchouli and musk: a soft, enveloping accord that closes the journey with warmth and sensuality, leaving a deep, long-lasting trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Fortis To

A fragrance for those who love intense scents, with a dark, decisive character that never tips into excess. Perfect for the cold season and for occasions when you want to be remembered, it suits anyone looking for a contemporary oud, less extreme than certain historic references in the genre but still able to assert itself with personality.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Fortis is one of those fragrances that tells you a lot about itself within the first few minutes: it's not a shy oud, but it's not a scent that tires or disturbs either. We like it because it strikes a rare balance between intensity and wearability, and it's often the choice of customers in store looking for something "that not everyone else already has".

Similar Fragrances

• Turath (The Spirit of Dubai) — shares an entire block of distinctive notes with Fortis (cumin, amyris, cedar, oud, guaiac wood, vetiver): an equally rich and layered oud, for anyone who loves Fortis's register and wants to explore it in an even spicier guise.
• NFI (Grammatik Drammatik) — shares cypriol, cedar and vetiver: a more restrained woody-aromatic, great for those who love Fortis's heart but want something easier to wear every day.
• Oud for Happiness (Initio Parfums Privés) — shares oud and cedar, here in a warmer, more gourmand key: a natural companion for anyone who loves Fortis's woody soul but wants a sweeter base.

FAQ

Is Fortis part of a larger collection?
Yes, Fortis belongs to Liquides Imaginaires' "Eau Delà" trilogy, a journey of fragrances conceived as ritual offerings to the ancient gods; our catalogue also carries Sancti, which shares its mystical inspiration despite having a very different olfactory profile.

Is Fortis similar to Black Afgano by Nasomatto?
The comparison often comes up among those who know both fragrances: Fortis is described as a softer, more accessible oud compared to Black Afgano, able to offer depth and character without the same extreme intensity.

Is Fortis suitable for everyday wear?
It's a fragrance with character, so it lends itself better to targeted use — cold evenings, special occasions, moments when you want to be noticed — rather than indiscriminate everyday wear.
