Aha. . . the sweet smell of my youth, everybody I knew wore this scent!
Rather reluctantly I purchased this recently at a discount pharmacy for very little money and surprisingly find myself gladly welcoming Fendi into my fragrance wardrobe all these years later.
Sophisticated, heady and seductive, in a completely new way! No post pubescent memories attached to this one thank goodness!
Another fragrance that has truly stood the test of time and proves once again that you don't always have to spend a small fortune to smell good.

Perhaps the greatest crime ever committed in the world of perfume was the discontinuation of Fendi for women. This is atypical of most women's perfumes, not overly floral or sweet, there's leather in there! Still it's very nice, and it's too bad they don't make it anymore.
12/30/09 08:32:13
Okay, I'm male but still . . .
The most beautiful women's fragrance EVER. Genius!
Such a shame it's been discontinued.

I cannot tell you how MANY TIMES over the years I have been approached by both men and women to ask me what I'm wearing. This scent obviously agrees with my chemistry-everything else I have ever tried turns really floral. Everyone that knows me knows my scent!

I love this scent because I love love love sandalwood!! This is very powerful perfume, not for the light hearted or faint hearted at all. You will be recognized the minute you walk into a room with this stuff! It lasts forever too. I don't ware it anymore because my mother in law ware it because i gave to her one year as a birthday gift and she has worn it ever since-I don't like to smell like everyone else so I started using something different. This is still a beautiful perfume and I miss it!

very masculine and strong not my type of scent.Although I have this perfume I'll give it another chance in the future.

I have to revise this posting as my most recent experience with this fragrance will be my last.
I have tried 5 or 6 times to appreciate this scent...It opens with a slight apple scent which is fine and I pick up a little bit of spice. After that, this stuff smells like I smoked 1/2 a stale cigarette, put it out, then smeared the tobacco all over myself.
Nasty does not begin to describe it...
It is very masculine, but I wouldn't go near any man who smelled like this.
Awful, awful, awful.

although elegant, I was totally dissapointed, on my skin too heavy, powdery and repressing -like a disaster
I hardly used it and quickly forwarded on ... and still after a while the same experience, the smell is definitely not for me and I don't like it,dominates over all other scents in the room,
but I confess that Fendi is a unique fragrance, just not for me

I had a friend who was mad on this perfume, so much so that she wore nothing else and the smell became impregnated into her clothes. I wish I was less fickle as I can't stick to one. I tried it on myself and it just doesn't suit me but I can see the appeal as it is that little bit different.

Oh God...what a elegant and strong frag!
This is smell so classy, distinctive and idiosyncratic!
Is all about what I ever looking for a “wood” (and a little sweet) frag.
This is a perfume that always takes a highlight in the crowd, in cold weather with some griffe clothes.
At the top, I feel some fresh licorice and strong woodsy notes, as a recently cut cypress.
Like resins, nor like fresh-burnt-moist woody.
Maybe, some powdery comes from ylang-ylang, and acrid and sour comes from animalic leather, spices and oakmoss.
Beautiful and adult dry down.
Good sillage and the staying power is magnific… more than 20hrs.
Yes, I’m a Latin (Brazil) young man with 21 yo, and I love the way that this frag mix with my skin going thru its phases.
In the theory, the people think: “- It smell like old lady!”.
Too much cliché.
But, in the practice, in my person, the people say: “-This smell very rich, distinctive and expensive!”
Let’s put our brains to work, and think about the possibility of this (or other) perfume matches so good in others publics which this (or other =/) perfume is not addressed.
Think how good it could be in different people and personalities.
It’s relative.
Perfumes haven’t age, sex and skin color… just our will to use it.

This is a complex & seductive fragrance! You can't quite put your finger on what it is you are smelling in particular but it is so interesting and appealing. Definitely for a confident woman who wants to make a statement in fragrance. It's been a while since I've owned this one but I think of it often. Very unique.
08/15/09 17:37:57
This fragrance will knock you off your feet at the beginning. It is not my type of scent but i must admit that it is very interesting! Very confident and steady!I can imagine a tall and impressive woman wearing it, with dark hair and sexy appeal. It sounds retro in a good way. I will not buy it now but definately after some more years i will like it better. There is nothing sweet or fresh girl-y type of thing in it. I sence a lot of style but sadly i can't see myself wearing it.Too dominant, yet- lovely!
07/23/09 11:53:45
Masculine and confident, even a bit heavy. Drydown woody smoky and warm, slightly harsh. For an adventurous and fearlesses woman's scent.
06/27/09 08:10:11
Fendi is one of my favorite perfumes. It is powerful, sensual and misterious.It has a wonderful silage and lasts for hours.
By no means I would consider it a masculine scent. It's feminine, but not girlish. Neither sweet, nor delicate...it's for mature and elegant women.
Be careful to wear Fendi. One spray is enough...it's too intense.
I love this bewildering fragance and enjoy wearing it winter days...

All I can say is Wow! I was given this perfume when I was 21 yrs old and it immediately disgusted me, so I left it on the shelf inside its box.
Some days ago I tried again and I found a sweet, warm and luxurious fragrance, but too overpowering for me. The initial notes show fruits, honey and some flowers. The drydown is leather, honey, woods and a little bit of vanilla.
It makes me think of an executive woman in her 30's, sexy, strong, agressive, determined, long manicured nails and plenty of devoted lovers, but in a classy way. I'm a student and I'm 25, so it doesn't suit my personality at all, but when I need extra courage I wear it to feel more confident -and it works!
Not for a daily use, though.
Lasting power is so strong that after having sweated in the gym and showered I still smelled of it!!!
It's a classy scent and it's quite cheap also.

I am a longtime devotee of this Fendi fragrance. I wore it in the mid 80's when it was the scent of the moment and today it still holds it own. I would not label it an "old lady" scent but rather a mature scent that demands to be worn by a woman with discriminating tastes. It is fully loaded with a variety of spicy, floral and woody notes and because it's intense it requires a very light application, hence, it will not be elevator-friendly if too much is used. The twist of lemon in the beginning is invigorating. The rose flower in it's center is in full bloom while the geranium lets you know it's there.The base notes announces a heavy accent on amber and the nutmeg warms your senses. This fragrance takes a good twenty minutes to perform it's excellence but the end result is like a hidden treasure and you feel complete. When adorned with this scent you possess Style with a capital "S"!

I wore Fendi for a short period of time during the early 1990s. I remember it as a big-boned floral with a generous dollop of spices and musk. Fendi was never as youthfully audacious as the heavy hitters of the day, i.e., Gucci Rush, nor as timelessly elegant as, say, Guerlain's Mitsouko. In its own way, though, Fendi still managed to be both charming and well-mannered in an era when the most popular perfumes were anything but -- no small feat then, and probably no small feat now.

I may be an old lady, but I know a great perfume when I smell one!I have come to the conclusion, after reading many reviews here, that I have 'old lady' taste. So here I am, back again, giving love to a scent for the old broads. But, what can I say? I am an unabashed Fendi fan and love their fragrances. This one is no exception.
On my skin, it is an oriental that opens with cardamon and a weird but delightful lemon scent. That doesn't last long because it soon goes into a cypress and ylang-ylang combination. The best part of the perfume, however, is the base and there is alot going on in that base! There's a little leather, a little sandalwood and even some patchouli thrown in for good measure. But before it gets entirely too weird and heavy, a nice (but not sweet) vanilla scent mixes in with everything else.
It is a complicated perfume and certainly one to be applied with a light hand. It lasts for a good while on the skin, so you might want to be sure you like it before you make the commitment to wear it! However, if you are a woman who likes a big, brassy, and beautiful perfume that's on the heavy side, this is a classic one to try. And, old jokes aside since I was kidding about my old comments above (kind of!), I think women of all ages should give scents a try-even if there's a certain perception that they have about a particular perfume. You may fall in love with one you never even expected to like!

A seriously complicated floral chypre, luxuriant in its bouquet and bouyed by the chypre base. Lasts well and is best in its EDP format
11/08/08 09:16:31
My mother has this. I wore it once and found it to be headstrong and sexy! It is strange because I smell mostly rose from it on me, whereas on my mother it smells strongly of the oriental notes. Because of that, I don't wear it. If I got more oriental notes, I'd wear it often. It's a great fragrance and I would only wear it in cold weather. Fendi is a very fashionable, confident perfume.
09/15/08 21:51:22
definitely my signature scent, on me it reveals itself fully; every time i wear it people ask me what is it:) i always make stocks, because in my country you can't find it anymore..

This one I like a lot! I think it´s a close relative to YSL Opium, but in a very good way. It reminds me of Opium, but without the headache I nowadays get from it...
It´s very oriental, but in a soft way, the notes are well blended together, it´s feminine but in a daring way. It´s longlasting and you don´t have to put on a lot. The drydown is terrific, very nice... sensual, spicy and still soft, caressing, soothing... Indeed a perfume worth trying if you looking for a classy retro...

What a strange, strange smell! It is not the typical floral perfume that's being put out by celebrities, these days. When I sniffed this in Drug Emporium a few months ago, I loved it! (I had sniffed Angel, Alien, and Fantasy just a few minutes prior.) Then yesterday at Walgreens, I sniffed it again (not on my skin), and it smelled really different. Stinky, but loveable! I don't smell any flowers in it at all. . . only bizarre scents that remind me of Peggy on "Married With Children" but a little classier.

80's at their best. pump those aldehydes. I couldn't use it anymore, though.
