Right out of the gate, Fan di Fendi smells expensive. It resides in the same universe as Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle... a fruity floral scent with depth, sophistication and complexity. The opening comprises pulpy tangerine, pear and juicy blackcurrant that stew over a nucleus of opulent jasmine and rose. It feels flirty and vivacious, but classy and well-mannered at the same time. A glimmer of carnal tuberose and a patchouli / leather facet suggests that this kitten, in fact, has claws; revealing something of a darker side. 

 

Fan di Fendi is two parts Urban Chic, and one part Femme Fatale. She dances along the line between straight-laced compliance, and Va-Va-Voom! A perfume for informal occasions and romantic nights. The flacon itself is made of heavy glass, flanked by two iconic “F's”. It is uniquely chic, uniquely Italian, and uniquely Fendi.
