Fendi has launched Fan di Fendi Extrême, a new variation on 2010's Fan di Fendi for women:
Luxurious, iconic and more desirable than ever, this is the new, intense and ultra- addictive version of the cult fragrance. Fan di FENDI is a tribute to Fendi's most iconic codes: the forever buckle of the cult baguette bag, noble shapes/materials, boundless creativity, the sun yellow and handcrafted leather.
Notes include bergamot, tuberose, jasmine, leather and vanilla.
Fendi Fan di Fendi Extrême is available in 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Parfum.

This sounds much nicer than the original, but only if they’d hold off adding any additional fruits.
Did not love the original — this might be better, but admit I will probably give it a skip.
There’s not a lot of tuberose/leather combos, are there? I think Histoires might have one in their tuberose trilogy but I can’t think of any others.
That’s the only one that comes to mind.
I’ve only smelled the original on a scent strip and did like it somewhat. But this one sounds really nice. Might have to track down a sample.
I think Saks has an exclusive right now, but I’m sure it will be more widely available by fall.
Fan di Fendi was a literal scrubber when I tried it on skin (and I so looked forward to trying it since I was such a fan of the original Fendi and Theorema), so this one does skeer me a little. But I’ll still sniff it when I come across it. Hope springs eternal and all that.
Ditto!
Fan Extreme – I’m imagining ninjas assassins throwing fans that slice someone’s head off! (Or would that be the upcoming Fan Extreme Sport Noir?)
I have always had a soft spot for the fendi icon!! When I was a child my aunt had a fendi soap on display in her bathroom ( a gift I presume) unopened ! After playing in the back yard I was told to go and wash my feet and being the little luxe I was at the time I reached for the theoroma soap bar !!!! I was not very popular as I left it all soapy and muddy in the gorgeous icon case!!!! I had no idea what fendi was at the time , but I remember how Devine and rich the scent and lather was !! I like the sound of this, it seems simple and pared down from its predecessors! I may have to seek it out and gift it to my aunt as a belated apologie for my faux pas , I think the bottle is Devine
They do like the word “cult” don’t they? Not the way I’d describe a scent I can buy at Kohl’s. Anyway, I liked the original well enough but I didn’t feel compelled to buy it or anything. I might check it out just for the sake of curiosity.
