Screen grab from Fendi Website
Actually I think a better name would be “Wan di Fendi”
My scent twin posted about this last week coincidentally at the same time I was trying it out. She was more kindly disposed to it than I am. I encountered Wan, er Fan as I was walking down Wilshire and saw it in the window at Saks, where it’s an exclusive until September.
Fendi as a fragrance house had some really gorgeous scents like Theorama and Asja, so I guess my expectations were just too high. The big rectangular bottle is hefty and quite well done. The stuff in it is drab little fruity floral that minces around for a few hours before exuding a wan leather, like the seats in a Camry, then disappearing altogether. Much like Gaia, I daresay you’ll see it at Marshalls by New Years.
In the meantime it’s $70 for 50ML at Saks, where I repeatedly spritzed. The sacrifices I make..
Thanks for the information. I’ve been looking around on the net for this kind of stuff so thanks again
nice layout but perhaps illustrate your point even better with some other media i.e. videos :)
great blog buddy ! Is this designed with WordPress ?
I haven’t tried this yet, but loved both Theorema and Palazzo (sorry I ddin’t get a FB of the latter when it came out), I’ll try this when I get a chance but won’t bend over backwards. Thanks for the review.
thanks!
…like the seats in a Camry! =))

Hi, Tom! I tried this at Saks a week or so ago and it was just OK.
I, too, adored Theorema, as do legions of perfumistas, who would flock to buy it if it were available.
I thought to myself, “Now why couldn’t they have reincarnated that juice into this lovely bottle?” They’d have a hit on their hands and would have saved face, too. It seems a no-brainer to me, but what do I know?
That is exactly what I was thinking..
You took one for the team, Tom. I never even got to try Palazzo, they yanked that one out of the stores so fast! I treasure my bottle of Theorema, there’s nothing else like it, so gorgeous in winter….
I forgot about Palazzo! Another case of great bottle and not-so-much on the juice.
Proving once more that no perfume smells the same way on two people. I Tested several scents at Saks last weekend, including that green and white nostril-exfoliant, Maison Martin Margiela. I tried the Fendi and thought “easy for summer.” In the desert, summer does bad, bad things with fragrance, so I like them a bit easier until it gets cooler. the longer it stayed the better it got. I got a good dose of leather, some well-blended florals. It has a huge sillage on me, and a lasting power of 24 hours. And the leather! Like a good motorcycle jacket. Of course, Theorema smells like an old sock on me.
Good for you! Wish it did that for me..
