With the launch of their latest collection, Fendi has not only redefined the essence of perfume but has also invited collectors and aficionados alike to embark on an intimate journey through the corridors of their family history.
Comprising seven distinct perfumes, each meticulously crafted with a beloved family member in mind, Fendi’s new line urges the user to delve deeper into the essence of kinship and nostalgia. At the heart of this collection lies a profound homage to the founding pillars of the Fendi dynasty, intertwining anecdotes of the past with aromatic symphonies of the present.
One such fragrance, “Casa Grande,” pays homage to Adele Fendi, the matriarch who, alongside her husband Edoardo, laid the foundation of the iconic fashion house in 1925. Infused with notes of leather, cherry, and incense, this scent evokes the timeless elegance and sophistication synonymous with Adele’s legacy.
For Delfina Fendi, the creative force behind the collection, inspiration strikes close to home, quite literally. Drawing from the playful innocence of her twin sons, she conjures the whimsical aroma of freshly baked bread with “La Baguette,” a fragrance redolent of sugar, butter, and childhood nostalgia.
In “Perché No,” named after her sister Silvia, Delfina artfully captures the essence of home, infusing pink peppercorn and sandalwood to evoke the tranquil sanctuary of I Casali del Pino, a cherished family retreat. It’s a fragrance that whispers of hearth and kinship, a fragrant memoir of familial love.
Delving deeper into her family’s roots, Delfina embarks on a soul-stirring journey with “Sempre Mio.” Inspired by the ancestral ties to Morocco, this scent marries the sweetness of orange blossoms with the spicy allure of cedarwood, encapsulating the dichotomy of the foreign and the familiar.k
To Delfina, “Ciao Amore” transcends mere fragrance—it’s a heartfelt tribute to her sister, evoking the very essence of familial ties. Infused with orange blossoms, fig leaves, and tonka beans, it’s a fragrant embrace that keeps cherished connections close to heart.
But it’s not just the individual scents that captivate; it’s the harmonious choreography they perform when united. As the bottles align, they seamlessly blend into a captivating colour gradient, symbolizing the interconnectedness of family bonds and shared experiences.
Behind the creation of these exquisite fragrances also stands renowned perfumer Quentin Bisch, a master craftsman who lends his expertise to four of the scents in the collection. Collaborating closely with Delfina, Bisch embarks on a sensory pilgrimage to Morocco, unravelling the threads of history and heritage that weave through each bottle.
Thus, as we immerse ourselves in the intoxicating world of Fendi’s fragrance narrative, we’re reminded that perfume is more than just a scent—it’s a vessel for memories, a conduit for emotion, and a testament to the enduring power of family ties. With each spritz, we embark on a sensory voyage, tracing the contours of kinship and love that transcend time and space. In the realm of Fendi’s fragrances, the past converges with the present, and the essence of family is immortalized in every drop.
