Fendi Fendi Uomo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1988. Fendi Uomo opens with Angelica, Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Cypress, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Fendi's Fendi Uomo carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's for the old-school chaps - a true 80s powerhouse that smells like money, leather, and pure masculine confidence. It's bold, it's intense, and it's definitely not for the faint-hearted. Prepare to be complimented, or perhaps asked if you've stepped out of a time machine.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent, long-lasting nature and strong projection make it unsuitable for office wear where discretion is key. The rich, sensual leather and amber notes make it perfect for dates and formal evening events, though its intensity means it's less suited for casual daytime activities.

About

Fendi Uomo opens with a complex, aromatic burst of angelica, lavender, and a hint of zesty lemon, quickly underpinned by warm spices and a rich, earthy coriander. The heart reveals a sophisticated blend of rose, iris, and carnation, softened by cypress, before drying down to an incredibly deep, unapologetic leather base. This is supported by musky amber, cedar, and an intriguing whisper of vanilla and coconut, adding a surprising touch of warmth to its rugged character.
