Ficifolia is a local Melbourne brand founded by the brilliant Sophie Marcoux, with a focus on storytelling and reverse-engineering scent memories through fragrance. Each perfume in the Ficifolia range is designed to capture a moment in time spent in the places Sophie loves most.
With two collections so far – one inspired by Melbourne and the other inspired by Sydney, Ficifolia Fragrances are as transportive as they are utterly divine smelling.
Now, a quick introduction to the fragrances in the Ficifolia range:
MELBOURNE COLLECTION
Synonymous with Melbourne, these spritzes paint the town in a red (even if you’re donning all black). For scents that feel as homely as a Marion flatbread, an NGV Friday Nights escapade or a Saturday morning trot around The Tan, this is your ultimate Tram Girl (or guy) companion. Southsiders and Northsiders can finally agree on just one thing: these perfumes smell seriously good.
Rose Street
Inspired by vintage shopping in Fitzroy, Rose Street takes the classic perfumery note of rose and styles it in a chic and modern way.
Notes
Top: Peach, Rhubarb, Raspberry
Middle: Muguet, Rose, Pepper
Base: White Musk, Vanilla, Oud
Intermission
Capturing Melbourne’s iconic arts scene – theatre, live music and comedy – Intermission is super cool and androgynous.
Notes
Top: Violet Leaf, Citrus, Cardamom
Middle: Fir Needle, Botanical Gin, Woodland Florals
Base: Vetiver, Sandalwood, Cedarwood
Out of Office
The scent of being at knockoff drinks after work on a Friday, excited for the weekend to come, Out of Office is carefree and fun like a yummy cocktail.
Notes
Top: Italian Mandarin, Cold-pressed Lemon
Middle: Rose, Egyptian Jasmine, Cotton Candy
Base: Patchouli, Musk
SYDNEY COLLECTION
These Sydney-centric smells are glossy, intoxicating and brimming with life. Are you spritzing before a Sunday Bill’s debrief (post-Berner), or a date night in Paddo? No matter what pocket of the cosmopolis you’re in, Sydney’s energy is palpable and signals endless possibilities. In their Sydney collection, Ficifolia presents perfumes that will outlast your Bondi-to-Bronte trek and cling to your favourite beach kaftan, like wet hands to a glossy magazine.
Oh! Darling
Sweet, sensual and exciting, Oh! Darling transports you right to Sydney Harbour at midnight, where you’ve procure a New Year’s kiss just as the fireworks go off.
Notes
Top: Mandarin, Petitgrain, Honey, Clementine
Middle: Peony, Rose Absolute, Sambac Jasmine
Base: Amber, Smoke Accord, Patchouli, Myrrh
Bistro Boy
A fragrance as playful as it is delicious, Bistro Boy is a unique tomato leaf floral concoction with a lactonic twist that reminds us of a brunch at one of Sydney’s gorgeous restaurants.

Base: Cedarwood, Musk
Sunbathers
Cocktails, sunscreen, and the heat of the Australian sun combine to make Sunbathers the embodiment of Sydney’s iconic beachfronts.
Notes
Top: Frozen Lemon, Ginger, Green Leaves
Middle: Sea Salt, Muguet, Cyclamen
Base: Sunscreen Accord, Coconut Water
