Add A Touch Of Glamour With Fendi Eau De Parfum

By Nancy Brown


If you want to feel like a million dollars, it helps to wear something luxurious by a designer label. It doesn't have to be an entire designer outfit, though. Even just one small item, such as a Fendi eau de parfum, will add a little glamour to your life.

Adele Casagrand had a shop selling fur and leather goods, which she started in Rome in 1918. When she married Edoardo Fendi in 1925, they changed the name of the store to reflect their last name. Their business grew into what would become one of the world's most famous designer brands, especially after fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld started working for them in 1965.

While they produce a ready-to-wear collection every season, the company's main focus is on stylish accessories. These include shoes, scarves, sunglasses, jewelry and watches. It's for their bags that the company is best known, however. The Baguette design became an instant fashion classic upon its release and has been seen on the arms of celebrities ever since.

In the 1980s, many leading designers launched their own fragrances. Fendi followed suit, launching their first perfume in 1985. The scent, which simply bore the company's name, was created to be ultra-feminine with top notes such as bergamot and rosewood slowly fading into a bouquet of floral scents in the middle. At the base was an earthy, slightly Oriental smell consisting of amber, musk, patchouli, cedarwood and other scents. The perfume was so successful that it paved the way for more fragrances to follow.

The original Fendi fragrance was an eau de parfum. An EDP, as it's also called, is more affordable than a concentrated perfume. It is normally made up of about fifteen percent of the oils that create the scent, with water and alcohol making up the rest. You only need to use a small amount at a time, so it's a good buy because it will last you many months or even years.

A less concentrated version of a fragrance is an eau de toilette. This is also called an EDT. With the scented oils comprising about ten percent of its make-up, it's lighter than an EDP. Its fragrance fades more rapidly, though, so a bottle of EDT won't last you as long as an EDP.

Whether you should opt for an EDP or an EDT depends on more than your budget. A light, refreshing EDT is perfect for warmer weather. An EDP can be a bit too heavy for everyday wear, so it's best to reserve it for special occasions, for the evening or for the colder months. To avoid overdoing it, spray the scent into the air and walk through the mist it forms. This will engulf you in a subtle scent that won't be overpowering.

The Fendi fragrances released before 2006, including the original fragrance, were discontinued when LVMH took over the company. Even though the brand has released many new fragrances since then, fans of the earlier creations can still find their favorites. Buying it through online auctions can be expensive but if you're lucky, you may come across a bottle at an estate sale or even in a goodwill shop.
