Fendi Theorema (for women)

Robert White

I had forgotten about Theorema but the reviews hit me like a hammer. I used to have a friend named Amie...she had a lot of problems and was very beautiful. She used to sleep over with my girlfriend and me when she had had a fight with her scummy boyfriend, and once she had calmed down, she'd have a drink with us, spray on some Theorema, and fall asleep snuggled up betewwn the two of us. She said she felt safer that way. A little later, she decided to go to work as a high priced call girl...her low self esteem wouldn't let her see any other possibilities. She stayed with us until she could get her own apartment, curled up between us, sucking her thumb, smelling like Theorema. A month later, she went out to visit a dodgy acquaintance, and we got a phone call two hours later: she had taken some drugs and fallen down a flight of stairs, breaking her neck and killing her instantly. We kept that bottle of Theorema a long time, but didn't have the heart to wear it. I wonder what happened to it? Anyway, here's to you, Amie, hope your'e happy wherever you are...I think I might buy some of this...I just hope that it's the same formulation...

I was crazy for Theorema when it was first released, but could not afford it! I also wrote to Fendi to find out its composition and it contains "sweet cream" (you're right, Kazzibee!)in addition to what you have listed here.
I finally bought a bottle and used it quickly and now I can't find it locally at all.

I got it as a gift quite a while ago...
I could'nt understand its composition for some time. However I still kept it instead of handing it down to friends, as I do pretty often with perfumes I don't particularly like.
Now I see, that the whole composition is pretty nice, but for my nose patchouli and nutmeg are cpmponents I wish were not present in this frag...
I'll keep it, but wouldn't wear it though:)

Oh, Theorema; where have you been all my life?

Thanks to fellow Fragrantica member, Darlingbuds, I have a sample of this precious, spicy elixir. It has been waiting for me to try it, obviously, because it's SO me. Rich but not sickening wafts of orange chocolate are emanating from my cleavage, delicate trails of cinnamon with whisps of pink pepper. Utterly scrumptious, this is an all-day wrist-sniffer and is going straight to the top of my I Want list!

This is a beautifully warm oriental that manages to be deeply sensual yet perfectly sophisticated. Alluringly well-balanced - this one wont knock you over the head and drag you to its lair. It doesn't have to, it's far too clever for that. Instead, this is like smelling the faint trail of freshly baked orange & cinnamon bread, never resting until you have followed the scent trail and tracked down your delicious prey.

The drydown of creamy benzoin & woods is to die for. An amazing perfume I am sure to have a long love-affair with!

The ingredients on the box say something a bit different from what's listed in here. I have no idea what Thai Shamouti, Eglantine or California tangelos may mean, maybe some citruses? and the pepper in question is listed among the middle notes and it's pink pepper.
Anyhow, it's a bit like Mitsouko, I'd say, but less kitschy to me.

I got it as a gift but it was´nt for me at all. Too much spices and too strong and powerful. However, may be good in winter for brunettes.

I could never really place what Theorema smelt like until I read some reviews on it...all I could think was erm, soft, warm oriental?...but orange, chocolate, cinnamon...(and more)?! Whoa!

I first smelt it in 2000 when I was in Italy and regretted not buying it, so when I got to go again in 2002, I snapped up a bottle but was disappointed because it lasted about 5 minutes on my skin and smelt somehow sharper. Dang! An old bottle?! Obviously, I couldn't take it back!

A year later, I spotted a gift box in the chemist while out shopping...I couldn't help but buy it! Body Lotion, Bath & Shower Gel and a 30ml of the perfume!

I compared it to the one I got in Florence, and they were both totally different colours - the new one being much darker! So I checked the bottom of the bottle and lo and behold, the one I got in Italy was Eau de Toilette and the new one today is Eau de Parfum! The EDT is still nice, but somewhat sharper, whereas the EDP is creamier...mmm! I much prefer the EDP...the oranges DO come out at first spray, though it's not like zesty organges and then gradually, slight chocolate, cinnamon and cream...though not foody if that makes sense.

What a delicious scent!!

Love that one.Very Christmassy, wintery warm fragrance, mainly due to strong cinnamon and creamy notes.
I haven't smelled anything like it before and after. It is truly unique.

I first got that as a present in my first year at university.I followed on bying till it was discontinued. Why they have to end with this beautiful creature.Is it normal thst thi wasn't a hit. All my friends loved it, and boyfriends swoon for it. i just can't get it.I love the strong dry peppery stat and the seamless velvety floral part fresh green rose with a sweet dried fruitiness.The drydown is not as spectacular but you can't miss the softness sweet chocolatey benzoin sensation. Adorable

This is one of my favorite winter perfumes - very warm and comforting. But it is so light, that I start wearing it even in autumn, when it is not yet cold.The opening flowery-citrus notes are very fresh, but soon become like a water colour painting. All notes in this fragrance are very light and soft, but it responds to the group, where it belongs: it is spicy (I feel my favorite nutmeg, cardamon and pepper), but spices are softly-smooth. It is slightly sweet, and the amber-woody base is also incredible soft. I see this perfume in the brownish-golden color, like black tea in the white cup, with a spoon of honey and a bit of lemon.

I bought this one without testing it as well and it was a wise choice. One I will never want to be without..I love the topnotes: Citrus yet not too bright. A tea-like note is very prominent for me when I first spray it on my skin. The drydown for me is all amber. I wore this perfume to bed the other night and woke up several times just to smell it. I can't say enough about how great this perfume is BUT the staying power is not as good as I would have hoped (at least on my skin). But for the time that it sticks around, it is amazing.

I bought this without first testing it. I just knew I would like it and I was right. It is one of my favorites. Spicy and sweet without being overbearing. Suitable for day wear as well, as opposed to so many other spicy orientals. Mmm, mmm, good.

The only way I can explain Theorema EDP is "the best perfume I ever had". It is simultaneously sweet (but not cloying), rich, warm and spicy. YUM! Lasts and lasts and lasts. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't like it.
