Fan di Fendi

I got this recently and it's already in my top shelve. I like this scent very much is very creamy, soft, powdery and it puts in a smile on my face. It's deep and it's sensual. This eludes femininity, elegance, sophistication taste and money! It's definitely not for everyone. This perfume could easily been named Lady Million as that is exactly how it makes me feel. This opens up with fresh notes of tangerine this makes it refreshing and youthful. I was surprised at the notes since I not a big fan of tuberose or leather all very well blended. This is a soft floral perfume but it's got an oriental touch to it. This perfume is not sweet at all IMO that is a plus given all the sickly sweet perfumes in the market. The classification as a floral fruity is correct but there is so much depth to this perfume than the name suggests. I'm not familiar with any of the other Fendi perfumes as to give you an idea if it's similar to this one. Based on the reviews though it seems like this house has some pretty substantial perfumes in their collection. All along I thought that I could not wear leather scent based on one that I tried specifically Kelly Caleche, I strongly disliked the drydown of that one my skin. I guess I was proven wrong and makes me realize one has to be open minded when it comes to perfumes as you never know what will work with your chemistry based on the notes alone. This one is more toned down and wearable for everyday in my opinion although is not a light fragrance at all it's kind of thick with lots of patchouli. I love patchouli so perhaps I'm biased in that respect. The shape of the bottle and color of the perfume and the thickness of it remind me of The One by Dolce Gabbana but I think the similarities are confound only to looks and that's all as the juice inside is totally different but I would like to sample side by side anyway given all of the other external similarities. I think Fan di Fendi has some similarity with Coco Mademoiselle they both elude class and sophistication they also share four notes altogether the mandarin, the rose, the jasmine and the patchouli. But somehow these two perfumes manage to be different and similar at the same time. The perfume bottle is simply phenomenal is very heavy and the color is just perfect, it warms you up with its golden color in the dead of winter when one is eager to feel the sun and patiently awaits spring and summer time. This is by no means a summer fragrance IMO but it just warms the sole in the winter moths. Well done Fendi. I will report back on staying power and people's reaction if any! So far I'm loving it!

I blind bought this, didn’t even look at Fragrantica (sorry guys!) since it was on discount in Boots and I vaguely remembered I liked it on a friend yonks ago. Who else buys perfumes on impulse? Geeet your hands up, don’t be shy. I’ve been wearing it twice. First time I had sprayed half the perfume shop on me on top of a generous layer of lemongrass bodylotion topped with an even more generous layer of Diamonds BC Armani. So to say the least I was olfactory KO-ed and I gave it an ok. Definitely not a scrubber. It seemed pleasant enough. Put this on for work this morning and was not overly impressed with the top notes. I have Gres Ambre Cabochard and the top notes of FdF smell like a l’eau version of GAC. But now, 2 hours later, I get the most gentle, soft, mandarine/tangerine/pencil shaving smell. It smells of childhood, winter and school memories. Favorite class, so the really nice ones. Nearly exactly like after the morning recess in December. After having frolicked around in the snow, my feet were freezing and I stuck them against the heater in the classroom and the air was filled with the smell of wet gloves and mandarin peels and warm skin. I’m not sure if it will be possible to get the same image on a summers day, I might update in a few months time but right now Geography class is starting so I have to open my atlas..... mmm, the radiator is so warm and nice... Edit: This swiftly moved into the higher echelon of my favourites. I have to say I've found my dream leather scent. Perfect for work and for daytime, it makes me happy :-)

I will attempt a review of this fragrance, though it bypasses all my faculties of reasoning. I simply love it. Fan di Fendi EDP has aspects of an elegant oriental scent, but feels quite casual at the same time. The result is relaxed, well-traveled, maybe a little arrogant. While the fragrance may come across a bit masculine for some, I do not get a traditional men's cologne vibe at all. As a vanilla/rose/amber lover, normally I would see a leather-patchouli base and RUN. Yet somehow, this feels fresh and expansive, with strangely a bit of a 90's feel. I'm transported to childhood memories of silk saris and new handbags exchanged by glamorous relatives during visits abroad, the fragrance of tropical blossoms wafting in as I fantasized about being allowed to wear lipstick someday. Fan di Fendi isn't for everyone. I just know it's for me.

So. A fresh, fruity, floral leather? Why, yes, it is, and I love it. It opens with a strong, fresh, natural citrus, not sweet, or industrial, but invigorating. No leather to open, this one starts out all fresh citrus and pretty florals: a pure, sweet jasmine, a thin, elusive note, not full bodied, but not fleeting. Joined by a juicy orange that seems almost like tangerine, sweet, fresh, not sharp, but not syrupy. When the leather enters, it is warm, soft, and buttery. Old school leather, with a classic rose. Light for a leather, and no tobacco. An old, soft, buttery, light golden leather wing chair, clubby and worn. Next to it, a vase with a single sweetheart rose, just opening. The open window shows an orange tree heavy with fruit, wet with rain, the scent fills the air, where a jasmine grows, covering an old gate.

On my skin, there are three stars in this movie-Tangerine, Rose, and Leather. It opens with happy, juicy tangerine wrapped in soft, new suede. About an hour later the Rose moves in taking center stage as suede continues to linger in the background. Later still, leather takes the lead with the fruit and flowers softly echoing. I sense no jasmine or patchouli on my skin. A soft musk can be sensed as the backdrop but is not listed in the notes. I love this scent, it's almost all purpose, although I would not wear it to church or a job interview. It is potent, but not overbearing. Sillage is magical on my skin. It's one of those beautiful scents you smell in the air and later realize is your own perfume. Lasting power on my skin is exceptional, I can sense it the following day. 4/5

SEXY STUFF - Out of all the perfume houses out there Fendi is one of the top for me. I love the spice of Theorema and Fan reminds me slightly of that one. Fan is a very smooth sexy scent that begins with an initial tangerine blast that settles quickly into the most gorgeous sexy spice. Not a heavy spice scent it's pretty close to the body. I see spice notes are not mentioned but that's what I am smelling. I do get the leather but it's a light leather not heavy as in other fragrances. I think I might call this mildly unisex but not masculine if that makes sense. If your like me and lean towards more of a spice your going to most likely love this. What I also love is the uniqueness of the scent. I don't smell this one around much. Gorgeous.

I got a huge crush on this perfume.. I admitted it because it's fendi... When I went shopping for perfume, saw the promoter spray this perfume heavily on her (like spraying body mist) anyway, just glance on the bottle and boom it's fendi. On the test strip, it's like a heavenly feminine scent that no men can't wear.. Whatever, I bought it. I feel regret a little bit cause the first impression of this perfume is dizzy. Later I found that it's turn into so sexy and free. Like a socialite style. With some lather and citrusy that kind of something that only this perfume had. I tried extreme and eau fraiche, but this is the best. Luxury yet sexy and free spirit. (Well, I tried men too and it's kind of why-they-do-this scent that I don't like)

I just purchased the gift set of Fan di Fendi yesterday after testing it a number of times. I found that I kept going back to it, something kept drawing me in. I agree that it isn't ground breaking but this fragrance is one that I really enjoy and I know that I could wear it in mixed company without it bothering anyone. I tend to prefer somewhat heavier and spicier fragrances, but it's nice to have one in rotation that I can wear anywhere. The citrus opening is sparkling as others have mentioned, with a lovely heart of jasmine and rose layered with some leather and patchouli to keep it from being too girly. As I said, not earth shattering, but completely enjoyable. I think it is one that could be worn year round.

Tried this by dab sample a year ago and liked it a lot, but didn't find it around my nearby stores.. Was offered by another in her swap and figured I'll try it. Glad I did- it is a very well blended mix by the citrus and leather The tangerine, the soft tuberose and the patch and creamy leather in the base becomes a gorgeous mix on me ! The minus would only be the the 15 minutes of unsettled tangerine, but it softly blends with the other notes until perfection ! The blackcurrant and rose notes are least prominent on me, almost not there... This is to sum things up a easy to wear blend, between fresh top notes and powdery sexy base ! Instant Love and the bottle is chunky heavy classy and a gorgeous piece of art !

Just bought this perfume with shower gel and lotion and I'm loving it. I haven't worn perfume in a couple of years and was wanting something new, (old bottles of Obsession in cupboard) but I wanted something that wasn't overwhelming. Because I don't live in the city, finding a perfume can take some time as you can only try so many in a 2 day shopping trip. I tried on 3, Bulgari the au vert, this one and another so horrible I've blocked the name. I really liked this one and the Bulgari, the saleslady was wonderful and perferred this one and it was on sale (yay). So this go round I purchased this, I still like the Bulgari though and will probably try to get some of it the next time I go shopping.

I can not believe i still haven't wrote a review of this one. Two years ago, i got a sample of this and i fell in love immediately. It was a sensual, feminine, mature, modern and creamy white flowers bouquet! It was this perfume that made me fall in love with tuberose. Some months ago i tested it again, this time direct from the bottle at the store. Black currant was all what i got. and in a matter of minutes it was gone. my original sample lasted 3 hours. I don't know if it was reformulated or discontinued (i can not find it anywhere anymore), i just know that very few fragrances have impressed me this much ever since i got into perfumes. this one is definitely worth checking out.

This is superstrong at opening but has a very nice aura around , like freshly baked bread or caramellized candies. Its definately sexy , both smell and probably IS expensive.... I could easily wear it to a party or dinner but I wont buy a whole bottle, for so rare occasions...: ) And I think its different from others as a contrary to what members here have written, really different too. The strong opening reminds me a tiny bit of Tumulte who also has a rose somewhere in the composition. I really like it and I ́m happy for my sample of it, thanks mara_g for a great swap ! Update - finally got me a bottle...a laaarge bottle and I love it. It is both fresh and sultry in one .

I recently picked up this (expensive!) perfume at Ulta while Christmas shopping. My nose was feeling pretty worn out after trying almost every perfume in the place, but this one was so citrusy sharp and different that I was really intrigued. I'm a little disappointed in the longer effects though. At first, it smells really fresh and hip, but after a couple minutes, it kind of fades to a muskier YSL-like feeling (my 14-yr-old sister summed this up by saying, "You smell like Nana" - my grandmother wears Opium). So not a bad perfume at all, just not as new, young, and different as I thought it would be.

I love the blend! An ice cream sundae of scents :) It is strong at first spray and then I feel like it drys down to a soft creamy scent with a hint of spice for the rest of the day. (at least this is how it resonates on my skin). Very nice for everyday wear since it's inoffensive and a "gentle" fragrance. As I have said in other reviews on Fendi perfumes: I haven't had the pleasure of owning or smelling all of them, but what I do have and had come across in the past, you just can't seem to go wrong with a FENDI fragrance!! Everything that I have had/have so far has all been so classy and eloquent!!

Love this perfume very sweet floral and sexy and i don't understand why not many people have heard of this perfume and its not very popular for some reason i mean it came out the same time lady million did and lady million has so many fans and reviews where as fan di fendi is very low with not much reviews it really is a nice perfume i recommend it to all the lady million fans fan di fendi is very much alike with lady million and very sexy!!!!!! TRY IT YOU WILL LIKE IT BUT THEY SHOULD LOWER THERE PRICE ITS $160 IN AUSTRALIA FOR 75ML OVERBOARD PRICE MUCH

What I'm experiencing is quite diferent than the notes above. It starts on me with a blast of pepper and freshness of earl grey tea, after an hour it reaches its juicy, deep, floral heart of magnolia and orange blossom, I had thought haha. Must be jasmin and tuberose with some fruity notes. Anyway, at this point I'm sold - its lovely, classy, sensual and delicious. Its a stand out, especially in present era of plasticky pink scent clones and gourmand overload.

This is a masculine and leathery take on Coco Madmoiselle and Miss Dior (Cherie, not the original 1947). As a man, l wore Coco Mad before. Fan di Fendi has the same vibe like the two mentioned. The leather makes it better for men to wear. This is more masculine unisex than feminine as marketed. The bottle is so classy. I will look for another big edp since this is a discontinued fragrance. Really love this. Gold standard.

This is got to be the best fragrance I've ever owned... I received it as a birthday gift from my mother. You know what they say: "Mama knows best!". I love its scent; it smells delicious, classy and fun at the same time! It is VERY long lasting and somehow it is not repulsively strong. This is perfection in a bottle. BTW, I'm really sorry it was discontinued :( Will have to begin a quest to find a new favorite fragrance.

One of the only floral fruity scents that doesn't smell like cheap shampoo on me. I love the leather in this, it's like smelling perfume that's spilt in a high end (Fendi) handbag. Very "Italian" feel to it, very suitable for summer and a cut above the other gold bottled fragrances that were released around the same time. Glamorous, chic and sparkling with an animalic twist. Floral fruity done right. Bring it back Fendi!

This is my favourite at the moment!. It is quite expensive in Australia and really difficult to find. I like that I haven't come across anyone else who wears this - yet. I find this fragrance to last forever on me, it has great sillage too. I think the balance between the floral and other leather is a great juxtaposition between sweet but sexy. To me this oozes class and sophistication, I wear it to impress.
