Which Should You Buy?
High End channels the powerful aldehydic floral-chypre of the original Fendi, sparkling open with aldehydes before sinking into a rich amber-leather-sandalwood base. The vintage's regal, days-long drydown is softened here, but it captures that glamorous Italianate character on a budget.
This is a truly divisive classic. Either a captivating masterpiece of warm, spicy sophistication or an overly intense, old-fashioned punch to the nose. It's a love-or-hate affair, but rarely forgotten - especially its original formulation.
