Fendi Fendi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1985. Fendi opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Cypress, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Spicy Notes, Musk, Leather, and Amber. Fendi's Fendi carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a rich, smooth rosewood with a burst of citrus and aldehyde, smoothed by cardamom and coriander. The heart blossoms with lush rose, lily of the valley, and jasmine, deepened by geranium and cypress, with a carnal carnation and ylang-ylang creating a potent floral core. The base is an intoxicating blend of musk, cedar, rich leather, spicy undertones, sandalwood, earthy patchouli, oakmoss, warm amber, and a hint of vanilla and tonka bean.
