I wore Fendi since it launched and I do still have a bottle but it's running low and I only use it for when my Husband and I go out on a date because it is the scent that he associates with me. I can't find a scent that even comes close to Fendi and it breaks my heart. Although my daughters do enjoy the fruity/floral combination that is of this decade--I don't want to smell that way, I want leather, spice and warmth. I want Fendi back!<br /><br />~Katherine~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-66311396074582272402011-07-20T15:15:58.371-04:002011-07-20T15:15:58.371-04:00I am so disappointed in this new launch from Fendi...I am so disappointed in this new launch from Fendi. I was super excited to see something new from their fragrance house. I have always loved Life Essence from Fendi, even though it was marketed as a men's fragrance (not surprising since I seem to want to marry anything that has cardimom or coriander in it, and I won't even get started on the oakmoss) and I have been using it super sparingly since it was discontinued. I was hoping for something interesting and exciting for their new launch, alas... more of the status quo...Michelle NYCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-42674448890248003212011-07-20T10:39:28.142-04:002011-07-20T10:39:28.142-04:00Sorry Fendi.

Nothing holds a candle to Fendi Fendi mossy suede gorgeousness.<br /><br />Eventually, some smart Chinese entrepreneuer will headspace analyze the original & produce a real moss/eugenol/labdanum infused dupe. Ditto Scherrer, Magie Noire, etc.<br /><br />Can't wait to send yet more of my money overseas, thanks to greedy corporate monopolization here. Fendi, et.al, you are the authors of your own marketing downfall.Astridnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-90715882143764458252011-07-20T09:48:42.197-04:002011-07-20T09:48:42.197-04:00If I brought home a sample of this, I feel like I ...If I brought home a sample of this, I feel like I would have to cover up my beloved Fendi by Fendi and Theorema bottles - wouldn't want to offend them or have them turn on me in annoyance. I did have a question, however, that I'm hoping you might be able to answer as my searches about this have so far yielded no results. I love Fendi edp and decided to finally try the parfum version earlier this year. Ordered a quarter ounce bottle for a decent price on ebay. *Loved* it - seemed much more focused on the base notes than the edp. Decided to order another bottle as I have a bad habit of stockpiling vintage scents (my obsession). Anyway, got a larger bottle of the parfum on ebay again and this time was sure I had been duped as it smelled identical to the edp and not like the first bottle of parfum I was so hopelessly besotted with. Blessedly, I didn't leave negative feedback as I thought it was likely an innocent mistake be a seller who didn't specialize in perfumes. So I ordered yet another bottle of parfum - and, yes, it also smelled exactly like the edp. SOOO...I'm left wondering if the first bottle had simply "aged" well (am considering leaving the other two bottles open near a sunny window - which I actually did with excellent results to a less than ancient Narcisse Noir bottle) or if maybe my first bottle is indeed the real thing and I simply had the misfortune of getting two edps poured into parfum bottles. OK, I realize how insane and improbable that sounds - but my love for the first bottle is so enormous, that I can't help but still hope and pray that it does represent the real parfum. How could a fake be that stunning? And how on earth does one replicate a brilliant fake? Deep sigh...and clutching onto tiny shred of hope still. Are you familiar with the parfum and, if so, is it very close to the edp?<br />Also wanted to say how much I love your perfume reviews and how glad I am that you write about scents from the past - you've steered me to quite a few wonderful purchases of unsniffed vintage scents on ebay.<br />AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
