A great way to bring some luxury into your life is to invest in a little something by a famous designer. It can be a dress or a blouse or a pair of killer heels. Even a designer scent, for example a Fendi eau de parfum, can make you feel like a million dollars.
The Italian design house's story starts in 1918, when Adele Casagrand decided to open a shop in Rome. She focused on selling goods made of fur or leather. When she got married in 1925, she renamed her store to show her married name. In 1965 design superstar Karl Lagerfeld became the company's creative director and over the years, Fendi has grown into a leading fashion brand loved by celebrities.
Today the fashion house is renowned especially for its leather bags, including the Baguette. This small handbag became all the rage after it was featured on the popular television show 'Sex and the City'. While they produce ready-to-wear fashion collections, it's really accessories that the brand specializes in and you can buy exquisitely crafted shoes, watches, sunglasses, scarves and jewelry sporting the company's instantly recognizable geometric logo.
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.
An eau de parfum is a stronger version of a scent. Also known as an EDP, it is normally made up of around fifteen percent of scented oils in a base of alcohol and water. It tends to be more expensive but because it is so strong, you use much less of it and a bottle of fragrance will last you longer.
Even cheaper than EDP is an EDT, or eau de toilette. Containing around 10 percent of the oils that make up the fragrance, this is also a lighter version of the fragrance. However, an EDT's scent fades more quickly than that of an EDP so you will go through a bottle more quickly.
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.
In 2006, fashion giant LVMH became the majority shareholder in Fendi. It discontinued all the fragrance lines that the house had released up to then, instead releasing several new ones. However, it's still possible to find a bottle of your favorite scent, including that original classic, by checking online auctions, estate sales or charity and second-hand clothing stores.
