All the aesthetic codes, all the values and the elegance of the house of FENDI are crystallized in the fragrance Fan di FENDI. The Forever buckle on the Baguette bag, the absolute "it-bag" since 1997, the nobleness of the shapes and materials, the boundless creativity, the sun yellow and handcrafted leather. Fan di FENDI is a modern irresistible fragrance; fresh luminous, sensual, and addictive.
FENDI bills this one as a "warm floral" with the following breakdown of notes:
Top Note: Pear Blackcurrant accord, Tangerine, Pink Peppercorn
Middle Note: Damascena Rose, Yellow Jasmine
Base Note: Soft Leather Accord, Patchouli
My impressions: I like the bottle with the gold emblem and the short boxy shape. I think they are going for classic rather than wow-factor here. The top note of tangerine really stands out. It's not over-powering, but it is very clear. The rose kicks in within a couple of minutes, the whole thing mellows out to a patchouli-floral mix pretty quickly. The peppercorn is a mid-note, but I smell it more after drydown. Pepper and patchouli are a couple of my favorite notes. A very nice fragrance.
The fragrance was created by Francois Demachy and the bottle, modeled on the FENDI handbag, was designed by Fabien Baron.
Fan di FENDI is only available at Saks Fifth Avenue for the month of August. After September, it will be available in other department stores, as well.
