Fzotic Five Squared ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 15 September 2023 5 Comments

Indie perfumer Bruno Fazzolari's Fzotic brand has launched Five Squared, a new variation on 2013's Five.

Inspired by our original Five, this is not a reformulation: it’s a visionary expansion! The captivating scent of orange blossoms is multiplied with spice, rosemary, and citrus. This fresh accord glows radiantly over an intricate base of incense, tonka and amber.

The result: a fragrant equation of pure delight!

FIVE SQUARED merges tradition and innovation, infusing the classic citrus-herbs-wood accord with a refreshing twist while defying norms with its impressive longevity. ”

****

Since moving back home to Tucson, Arizona, the aroma of blooming orange flowers around town kindled childhood memories. So I cranked up the neroli and orange flower accord while adding a bit of tonka as support in the base. The result: the same citrus-herb-wood accord but with a vibrant halo of orange blossoms and a touch of frankincense to temper any candied or cloying notes.

Additional notes include mandarin, grapefruit, petitgrain, amber and oakmoss.

Fzotic Five Squared is $145 for 30 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Five Squared? That makes me want to rename this “Twenty-five”.

    If they offered it in a 120 ml size, they could advertise it as 5! ml.
