About This Perfume
Think peach-floral perfume with warm vanilla cedar: that is Ted Lapidus Fou D'Elle. It opens with jasmine, lotus and peach, moves into freesia, hyacinth and praliné and settles on cedarwood and vanilla. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 1997.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and sweet for date nights.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $28.

Notes behind the picks
Ted Lapidus Fantasme (1992) smells of berry, peach sorbet with rosy powder, with peach and pineapple up top and vanilla, musk and cedar underneath. Ted Lapidus Lapidus Pour Homme (1987) comes across as spicy herbal cologne with honeyed wood; the notes run from lavender and pineapple to musk, tonka bean and amber. Ted Lapidus Rumba (Eau de Toilette, 1989) reads as sweet fruit, honeyed florals, vanilla-leather warmth, opening on plum and peach and drying down to oakmoss, leather and ambergris.
