Fan di Fendi Eau de Toilette

One of my absolute favorites for summer. It smells more like Fan di Fendi eau Fraiche and EA Green Tea, than like Fan di Fendi EDP (all of which I own and love, and they are not redundant). When I was a little kid, growing up in Oregon in the early 90s, we'd travel to visit our relatives in eastern Washington state. On the Oregon side of the river, there used to be Scotch Broom shrubs all over the roadside, and they smelled so sweet, like pollen and honey. At one point, they were deemed noxious or invasive, so they've since been eradicated, and it's been 30 years since I've smelled them. Fan di Fendi Eau De Toilette is primarily a citrus and tea perfume, but the Broom note is very prominent (and nostalgic) to me. It may just be the power of suggestion, though. Interestingly, my husband says this smells better on me when I'm sweaty and dirty, than it does when I've sprayed on my clean self after a shower.

I wrongly wrote this review against the EDP and then realised I have the EDT with the white cap. Anyhow, Fan di Fendi EDT opening is a blast of sharp and bright citrus, very fresh. Within a couple of minutes, the flowers arrive. They are well blended, so I can't specifically pick each individual floral note, but the effect is very polished. After 15 minuts, the citrus from the tangerine starts to calm down. The flowers are blooming and are beautifully balanced, not too sweet, not too sharp, and not powdery or soapy at all. The dry down is smooth patchouli and flowers. Personally, I can't smell the leather note, probably because this is an extremely well-blended and well executed perfume. Performance is average. This is feminine and elegant and it's a new favorite of mine; I am a fan of Fendi! Unfortunately, like with so many other excellent perfumes, this is discontinued 💛🤍✨️💐

This is so pretty! My best friend traded me this EDT for Manifesto in August. I have only worn it a couple of times. It was a rather warm day yesterday so I broke the spell of the heavy hitters I have been wearing this Fall and decided to wear this. I agree with some that this is like Green Tea but better. This EDT has awesome staying power and out of nowhere it suddenly appears when you think it has worn off. I keep getting whiffs of it this morning. It is very modern with quite a bit of floral. Then there are the citrus notes which are light and not bitter yet not overly sweet either. I also get the light patchouli from start to finish. So nice. The leather is not at all overbearing but can be detected. This is a crowd pleaser so I wonder why more people don't wear it? 10/10

I actually really really enjoy this. Not sure I smell any pear or the leather, but it's definitely a good hearty bergamot scent. It is rather potent at first but dries down very nicely. The citrus aroma is not too sour but not sweet really. It's somewhere in between. The tea smells dry and gives it a bit of an earthy edge. And there is just a hint of floral essense softening out the bright citrus edges. It's really simplistic, and will be great for spring. It's bright and a bit bittersweet - but with a hint of softness. Great lasting power. Sillage is fairly quiet after the dry down, much more noticable in the first hour or so. Bergamot lovers should give it a try. A citrus edt with substance.

A perfect scet for a sunny hot day here in Indonesia. Smells so fresh and citrusy and ellegant. Very good for office wear. The bottle is very heavy but worth the drydown
