What does Fan di Fendi Leather Essence smell like?

Leather forms the backbone, with rose and mandarin orange beside it. Tonka bean, vanilla and musk build a sweet, warm base, while elemi resin adds a spicy, slightly resinous edge. The floral and woody accords sit under the oriental character, and the leathery side comes forward.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though that rests on only a few votes. The leathery, sweet and spicy build leans towards women's wear. Chanel Égoïste and Francesca Dell'Oro Page 29 have a close profile.
