Fragrant Friday - Fan di Fendi Eau Fraiche

Fendi reinvents their signature with a dazzling radiant and happy tempoed addition:

Fan di Fendi Eau Fraiche - 50ml EDT - $78, 75ml EDT - $94 - a radiant floral with top notes of Bergamot from Calabria, Lemon from Italy and Cardamom from Guatemala; heart notes of Sencha Green Tea accord, Orange flower absolute and Sambac Jasmine; and base notes of Mate Absolute, Cedarwood and soft, silky musk.

And while the fragrance itself smells a little too floral on me for my taste, I am in love with the bottle - the green and silver look so crisp, fresh and classy - the perfect decoration for any dressing table!

Available at The Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora.

Fragrant Friday - Fan di Fendi

Fan di Fendi - 50ml EDT - $77, 75ml EDT - $92 - is meant to be a lighter, brighter and more fun version of the original - with top notes of pear, green tea accord, blackcurrant, calabrian tangerine and lemon petit grain from Sicily; heart notes of Italian broom flower absolute and yellow jasmine accord; and base notes of leather and patchouli.

Fendi is one of those fragrances that is very nostalgic for me, a good friend of mine always wore it back in the day so that's who the scent always reminds me of - so it makes me a little nervous when companies screw around with that kind of thing because I'm worried they're going to wreck it and spoil all my memories. Not a problem with this one - I can still kind of get a sense of the original but not so much as it feels like they've ruined it - just done something new based on it - with all the fruity top notes I'm sure you can imagine that I am liking this one!

Available at The Bay, Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora.

Fragrant Friday - Fan di Fendi!

Fan di Fendi - EDP 50ml - $88, EDP 75ml - $105, Body Lotion 150ml - $51, Perfumed Bath and Shower Gel 150ml - $45 - with top notes of Pear, Blackcurrant, essence of Tangerine from Calabria and Pink Peppercorns; a heart of opulent floral notes: Damascena Rose, Yellow Jasmine and Indian Tuberose; and a base of Patchouli and suede-leather accord.

The original Fendi is a nostalgic favourite of mine but one that is way too strong for me now so I was intrigued to smell this new edition which is lighter, more modern and very sexy making it incredibly wearable for me! Available exclusively at The Bay.

Even better than the fragrance is the commercial - hot and catchy!
