FIDDAH

Fiddah is a unisex eau de parfum by Kajal Perfumes Paris that wraps leather and tobacco in a warm, spicy, ambery softness. Signed by Christian Carbonnel, it is a sensual and comforting perfume, created for those who love velvety fragrances experienced up close.

The Fragrance

Fiddah means "silver" in Arabic and gives its name to the entire Fiddah Collection, five fragrances presented at Pitti Fragranze in 2016 and released in 2017, each dedicated to a different mood and personality. Fiddah is the warm-hearted, passionate soul of the collection, a romantic who conveys energy and determination. Like the other perfumes in the line, it is recognisable by its heavy glass bottle with silver plaques engraved with the eight-pointed star, the house's emblem.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is lively and spicy: bergamot meets fruity and floral notes, while star anise and cinnamon immediately give it a warm, recognisable character, with a nuance that reminds many of ripe fruit and red wine. In the heart come tobacco and leather, soft and velvety, never rough. The base is a sweet, ambery embrace of amber, tonka bean, benzoin, vanilla and musk, which stays close to the skin in an intimate, enveloping way.

Who We Recommend Fiddah To

We recommend Fiddah to those who love tobacco and leather fragrances in their sweetest, most comforting version, and to those looking for a sensual fragrance to wear up close. It is perfect in the transitional seasons, on cool evenings and in the colder months. Created for a romantic man, it is also greatly loved on women's skin.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

Fiddah is one of those perfumes that make you want to come closer: soft, warm, reassuring. It does not try to impress with power, but with a pleasantness that wins you over immediately and is remembered.

FAQ

Does Fiddah smell like Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille?
Some enthusiasts compare it to a softer, spicier version of Tobacco Vanille, for its meeting of tobacco and vanilla. Fiddah, however, adds star anise, cinnamon and a velvety leather, and comes across as more ambery and less dense.

What does Fiddah mean?
Fiddah means "silver" in Arabic: it is the name of the precious metal that inspires the whole collection, also present in the silver plaques and cap of the bottle.

Is Fiddah a very sweet perfume?
It has a clearly noticeable ambery, vanilla sweetness, balanced however by the spices in the opening and the leather in the heart. Those who love warm, comforting perfumes find it balanced; those looking for a dry tobacco may prefer something drier.

How strong is Fiddah?
It is a perfume that stays close to the skin, with an intimate, contained sillage, and lasts on average six hours or more. It is ideal for those who want a scent noticed by those who come near, without filling the space around them.
