Identi-kit Male

This is a dreary cocktail of crab apple purée, cedar, and nuclear strength pimento. Or - mush, wood and fallout if you prefer.

There is also a synthetic metal-grey, dry approximation of an aromatic accord that develops at the outset and which clouds over the heart section making it feel vague.

So, what Fan di Fendi pour Homme consists of is, a sweet unctuous amber and bitter-spicy tobacco accord which is supposed to be leather, plain cedar, and that manic pimento note irritating your nose, at either end of an ashy metallic grey fog.

Not only badly executed, the basic idea is utterly generic - the sort of thing you've smelled a dozen times before.

I suppose the two junior perfumers are also credited with this so they can at least blame each other.

An expensive blind buy

This is an older review, as I got my bottle about a year ago. I've edited my initial review a little.

Being a rather expensive blind buy I was really hoping for it to be good..

Luckily for me, it is. It smells really good so far! It may not be the most unique fragrance out there, but it is elegant and classy. A nice and warm scent! Fan di Fendi Pour Homme isn't sold in my country, so that makes me feel even more special when wearing it.

I love the opening, very nice and elegant. But I wished the scent stayed more linear from the opening on, but it doesn't. But over the past few months, I've grown to love the heart and base as well. Though I still find it a pity that the basil and citrus notes fade pretty far into the background. From 30 minutes on, this does not change anymore, at all.

During the heart I get a soft leather (nothing like the leather in various niche offerings), but the rest of the composition works really well with it. It's very woody with the cedar. and the cardamom adds a certain warmth to it. It has a somewhat dry smell, if this makes any sense to you.

You get a decent projection for about 3 hours, which is one of the few gripes I have with this. But it does last quite long. The other day I could actually pick up the warm leathery smell around me after about 6 hours or so. It is a bit subtle, but it is definitely there. I've found that this fatigues the nose quite a bit and after 5-6 hours I used to think this was almost gone, but apparantly others could still smell it quite moderately.

Le grand début et la fin terrible

What a magnificent start. Pure bliss and infatuation, yet a disappointing and bitter ending. Much like a typical relationship. Blood orange-like citrus, warm leathery wafts and the perfect duo of cardamom and pink pepper befriend a gentle basil note... then everything comes to a standstill. Suddenly all notes have become enemies and gone to war. What remains is a sharp, dry synthetic smell, leaving you with only an idea of what it used to be. What a STRIKING resemblance to Jesus Del Pozo's Halloween Man! They mimic one another down to the base, only Halloween has a slightly sweeter and less synthetic drydown due to the use of vanilla. Paco Rabanne's 1 Million also has this familiar dry down, only giving you more of a toasted amber and cinnamon feel. If you have 1 Million in your life, there should be no need to cheat on it with less attractive fragrances.
