Life Essence

What a absolutely gorgeous scent this is, so smooth and well blended. Picture you're walking past by or are even standing in a fertile flower garden that emits a beautiful smelling floral aroma and also has citrus trees in it, with the citrusses hanging riped ready to be plucked. This combined smell mixed in with a slight bit of spiciness from the cardamom, coriander and finally the sandalwood makes this the scent that it is. I have read people say this is unisex or feminine. Feminine? No. Unisex? Maybe. The thing with this one is that if you spray it in the air, you get a more prominent floral smell. On a male skin though, this definitely does not give me any feminine or unisex impression. This is a spicy floral scent done right for a man. Imo this almost borderlines being a masterpiece within it's own realm of scentprofile. It instantly brings me back to the sunny spring and summer days of the 90's. The days where people were so much more content with themselves and it was simpler having a fun time. Life essence is truly a fitting name for this one. Performance is solid, it projects strong for the first few hours and after 9 hours I could still smell it lingering around as a skin scent. The song that immediately came into my mind when I first smelled this: Shanice - I Love Your Smile. Overal rating: 9/10

Nose Note #328 Such an interesting spicy fragrance. Personally I can't imagine it on a woman. This has real citrus bite too. It does smell a tiny bit old-school - in this sense it's kind of fresh, but at the same time it's not really a summer fragrance. So far I've loved it. Very easy to wear - I can compare to the Montale and Mancera I've recently worn - almost all of them became sickening. This one is like "give me more". It's also about this kind of herbal note - maybe it's cypress or west indian bay, but it really adds a lot of thickness and bite to the citrus. This makes me want to try the dupes. Fragrance World Friend and Milestone Trendy Wood Intense. I wish they match the performance too because this one is just perfect

I’m a 57 y/o female and I’ve had Fendi Life Essence in my vast collection for 15 years. I have the OG Fendi for women too, and honestly, I like the scent profile of this better. Though it’s “mens fragrance,” in my opinion, it can definitely be worn by women as well. Life Essence is not my only men’s fragrance either. My perfume collection is very diverse - fresh, floral, aquatic, green, spicy, gourmand, woody, oriental, sweet, niche, girly, etc. - you get the jist 😄 I share some of my frags w my oldest Son, too ✨🤍

Gorgeous. Perfect for summer and the monsoons. No sharp notes at all. Quite feminine in my opinion. Husband used it too, and agreed it was more of a feminine scent. Gentle, fresh and alluring.Soft citrus, spices and a drydown that surprises you with it's delicacy. Dont think it can be offensive at all. And would suit all age groups, except teen's ofcourse. Very HARD TO FIND. P.S- Would appreciate any suggestions for a similar smelling parfum, this one is too hard to find.

After trying this F.L.E I bought 10 ml of that with no thinking over, because I very much liked it, if not to say, I fell in love with. As I'm not good at remembering the names, types, brands of perfumes, I was sure it was a feminine EDT, since I'd found it tender and beautiful enough. Anyway, I'M JUMPING WITH JOY, the shop-girl said it's probably gonna disappear, and I'm going to smell great - a man told me today there's a stylish aroma following me around.
