Dolce Bacio

7.7

Fendi · 2024

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Fendi Dolce Bacio is a unisex scent built on Turkish damask rose, apricot and Indonesian patchouli, floral and fruity with a sweet turn. Taken as a whole, the scent reads fresh and citrusy on the surface, but its weight sits with the rose and apricot: a floral, fruity sweetness softened by powdery, creamy tones. The patchouli grounds it in an earthy, lightly spicy base and keeps the sweetness from running away. Longevity and sillage are rated good, though from a small number of votes. Most voters pick it for evening, leisure and nights out, with daily and office wear close behind. As a unisex fragrance, it sits comfortably on both men and women.
