One of our favourite new fragrances of the year; this subtle and warm woody masculine fragrance opens with sticky citrus and mellows with tonka bean and leather. 

Alter ego of the women’s fragrance with its striking and iconic double F design, the new Fan di FENDI Pour Homme fragrance is said to be 'the male version of the “IT fragrance”, the embodiment of Italian-style and charm'.

Condensed into a block of graphic and singular glass, the bottle is a contrast of materials, glass and Surlyn plastic, enhanced by Fendi’s iconic colours, yellow and grey.

The fragrance is a modern and fresh woody aromatic. It has been developed by François Demachy, Director for the development of olfactory perfumes at LVMH in collaboration with the perfumers Delphine Lebeau and Benoist Lapouza. The top notes feature a bracing freshness of tangerine from Sicily, generously accompanied by bergamot from Calabria. A fresh and aromatic top note with basil sets the tone. The heart beats with spicy rose hips and cardamom, with geranium before melting into the powerful woody tonalities of cedar from Texas. The base shows itself in the sensual, oriental depths of a light leather accord revealed by the power of tonka bean and patchouli.

The face of the fragrance is Mark Ronson. This English musician, composer and producer, who shares his time between London and New York, grew up in a family of musicians and artists. At 36, he has established himself as one of the music world’s most sought after personalities and is considered as a contemporary artist and fashion icon. Mark Ronson is universally recognised for his work with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Adele or Duran Duran amongst many others but also for his solo work.

TheChicGeek says "This is one of our favourites so far this year. The metallic tonka bean is warmed with the leather and wood and made lighter with the citrus top notes. This is a soft fragrance that doesn't shout it's masculinity and therefore smells more sophisticated for it. It would work on any age group."

The second stop on the menswear circuit, Milan threw up its usual mix of the predicted and the new.
