Italian Luxury For Men

Italian Luxury opens crisp and green: a zesty lime, peppery white pepper and herbal angelica set a fresh, aromatic tone - the signature of the now-discontinued Fendi for Men (2004). The heart turns refined and slightly floral, with green tea, powdery violet root, earthy patchouli and a whisper of jasmine, lending a mature, balmy elegance. The base settles into warm amber, mossy oakmoss and a soft aromatic suede. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures the original's fresh, woody, Mediterranean character convincingly, but it reads a fraction flatter, the suede and oakmoss thinner and the blend less seamlessly refined than the designer original. The original itself was known to turn into a close skin scent within a couple of hours, and here longevity is similarly modest with soft, near-skin projection. The effect stays clean and grown-up - a fresh woody-aromatic for spring, summer and early autumn, worn at the office, casually, day to day or on relaxed dates.
