Description
Fendi launches men’s fragrance Fan di Fendi pour Homme Acqua before the summer of 2013, which is a new flanker of the first men’s fragrance from the Fan di Fendi collection, Fan di Fendi pour Homme, which was launched in 2012. The new version is described as a bluish glimmer of light somewhere between sea and sky; a refreshing summer breeze that evokes freedom of Italian seascapes.
As a man who wears it, this scent is adorned with epithets of elegance, sophistication and spontaneity. The composition is fresh and aromatic with initial notes that evoke the Mediterranean; there are Italian bergamot, lemon and lavender with sea accords. Its aromatic heart blends f sage and basil with spices such as pink pepper and cardamom. The woody base includes notes of cedar, leather and musk. The scent is created by Francois Demachy in collaboration with perfumers Delphine Lebeau-Krowiak and Benoist Lapouza.
English musician and producer Mark Ronson has been chosen again as the face of the perfume. Old bottle design is refreshed with blue tones. The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

Fan di Fendi Pour Homme Acqua is a weird scent. It is entirely an aquatic leaning flanker to Fan di Fendi Pour Homme but there is a lot more going on with it. It is like an aquatic D&G The One for Men but also has some of the deodorant vibe Montblanc Legend Spirit has and some Sun Java White Men to it.
Fan di Fendi Acqua has a few notes that stick out. In the open, it is largely a citrus aquatic. It then goes into another Montblanc Legend Spirit feel with cardmon and pink pepper heavy mid, that said it holds into the D&G The One for Men with the basil note. The base is entirely Montblanc Legend Spirit especially with the musk heavy deodorant vibe mixed with some leather.
Fan di Fendi Acqua peforms really good. It is a nice but a little bit on the lighter side similar to Legend Spirit. That said, the longevity is really good on it at about 10 hours. For the price, this is a really good pick-up.
Fan di Fendi Acqua has a lot of uses. It is good to use from spring to fall in casual, work and even date settings. It is common but not common enough to be a problem.
I would rate Fan di Fendi Pour Homme Acqua a 7.8 out of 10. It is nice and unique but to me it can go a little too under the radar.

I received this fragrance today and as I’m wearing it now it doesn’t seem like a aqua scent,it has great longevity and smells alot like the original but wit just more aquatic notes and has a watermelon type smell but the dry down smells like the original,overall a nice scent that could be pulled off all year around cause it performs and projects way above average,i give this frag a 8 out 10 cause it’s original and nothing smells like it
VVVengerov – :
I smell a lot of herbs and some citrus in the top notes. Not so aquatic so far, after one hour. I´m not thrilled, but it smell good. I will come back and give a full statement after a full wearing.
Dinyindenue – :
This is a solid release, its not perfect, and it is good, aquatic, floral, leathery, performs very well, its very new, there is nothing that smells like this actually, which is enough to admire because over 90% of thr new releases are flankers or scents that are not very original. This is a very modern scent.

I absolutely love Fan Di Fendi Pour Homme, which is a hugely underrated aromatic-leather fragrance for gentleman, that the ladies also love. So I picked-up both Assoluto and Acqua a couple years back since the original was so great. However, I am not a big Summer/Aquatic genre fan (most just don’t work well on my skin or in my nose) so I finally removed the shrink-wrap from my bottle just this morning.
While not ground-breaking and somewhat generic and linear, I was surprised at how much I liked this scent. This flanker smells almost nothing like the original, but Acqua has a fresh, playfulness that is much more appropriate for the warm Summer days at work or at play.
Performance was also pretty solid for an aquatic in that is lasts a solid 7-8 hours and projects moderately on my skin. Overall, I find Fan di Fendi Pour Homme Acqua to be a solid like and a pleasant surprise.

If you want a cheap, good smelling scent for the spring/summer this is the one for you. Fan di Fendi Acqua lasts quite long for an aquatic fragrance. It just smells a little generic for me. Has a fresh, citrus smell but reminds me of something from the department store. Not very original.
Probably more of a daytime scent but I can imagine wearing this fragrance during warm summer nights
Scent 7/10, it smells good but it’s nothing memorable
Projection/Sillage 7/10
Longevity 9/10
For the price, you can’t beat it, if you are looking for a cheap summer fragrance. I prefer Versace Man Eau Fraiche though for warmer temps.

nothing special ,so ordinary, there is a lot of fragrances better and stronger with low price, it’s sad acqua like Fan di Fendi pour Homme in disappointment. sorry to the lovers for both but i don’t find any thing special and specific .a lot like it and a lot better than it
5/10

All together, this is a well rounded fragrance. It is a very safe fragrance for the office environment and would fly under the radar. Longevity is adequate.
attisfasidilm – :
I just tried this on as a sample (I have a sample of it from Macy’s or Bon.Ton), and it’s pretty nice. It has something in it just like some of the Yves St Laurent L’Homme ones, mostly the sport version, because it must be cedar or something, that spiciness it’s just the same.
This one does have the “aqua” scent, but I like it for the woody spiciness.
Aikisss – :
its very chic, longevity is perfect and sillage is good , sometimes remind me 212 vip. but i like it more than vip
Djoni – :
Good longevity, bad scent: Mature, “AVONish” cheap smell, the dry down is very boozy like invictus, never blind buy this.
ul7pai – :
Don’t agree with the ‘generic’ comments. To me this is a unique aquatic scent that’s sophisticated. The pepper in this one makes it really masculine.
gac439JeomiWogkig – :
I bought it based on the reviews. The best part are the top notes that are brilliant, oceanic, despite a bit artificial. The bottle is also beautiful. After 30 minutes you get a very common scent. It was a deception to observe that longevity (in summer) isn’t long as some people said. Sillage is also very modest. This scent has absolutely no relation with aqua fahrenheit, YSL homme Libre or Wet Wood. It’s much closer to generic cheap fresh scents. I think the ‘Aqvas’ perfumes from Bvlgari have the advantage of originality, besides they also suffer from relatively low longevity.
jvalavaimiq – :
I must agree with the negative reviews for Fan di Fendi Homme Acqua. It is nothing out of this world to say the truth. It is a clone to many other aqua scents in the market. I find it boring and fades away after 1 hour. The bottle looks nice on my shelf though.
glischinskaya – :
This fragrance, if you can call it that, smells like a brand new automobile tire. I wonder who would want to smell like a Michelin tire? Lol.
Weselika – :
Not a bad scent but rather generic. Ever since the onslaught of this kind of fragrances in the early 90s I just have taken a dislike for most light citrusy scents. Also, anything with lemon and lavender makes me automatically think of Cool Water. The bottle is really cool though.
Korvax – :
This ” aqua” is actually rather intense, woody, fresh, very well balanced and with excellent projection and staying power. It is reminiscent of old Spanish male fragrances, like Agua Brava. I love it.
mmufpkbbivr – :
Don’t know why this one dose don’t get more love and attention it’s super clean well blended last long time the mid and base have some woods not over powering this to me can go toe 2 toe with the big boy aquatics I’m on my 2 bottle
faker – :
Fendi Acqua is like a grab bag of somewhat decent aqua fragrances of late. What you have is a well rounded scent of that genre, possibly one of the better in a generally ill received category of fresh marine inspired colognes. I detect elements of Davidoff Silver Shadow Altitude along with a good dollop of Ocean Wet Wood and a sprinkling of Allure Homme Sport Extreme in this mix. The latter being one of my favorites and Fendi Acqua is a better blended more interesting brew. I would go so far as to say it is almost like an edp version of Ocean Wet Wood. Projection is impressive as is longevity, lasting a full 8 hours and more with just 2 sprays.
Full bottle worthy if purchased at a good price. Not bad in what it delivers. One of the better aquas.
7.5/10
boduell – :
what a fragrance!! it is very weird and unusual, which I really like. very aromatic, lasts forever which I didn’t expect because it’s aquatic, summer-spring scent.. I used it today on very cold day and it is still there on me, I can’t imagine what will happen when the weather is warmer! 9/10
toxa_kak – :
Very smooth and soft aquatic scent.
Very wearable but I see no similarities with YSL L’homme Libre nor with Aqua Fahrenheit.
7/10
GolovOleg – :
It’s blue, it smells generically blue in a crowded genre, nothing new here for me.
pikeilya – :
Weird. I don’t usually like aquatics but I prefer this to the original. I get a weird paint stripper note from Fan di Fendi pour Homme.
Calone, sea notes or whatever you want to call it really dominates Acqua. Well duh. It’s Acqua. I can still smell the leather, basil & cardamom though.
Personally, I am kind of over cardamom. It’s a scent I enjoy, but it’s so distinctive and it’s in EVERYTHING. Yes, it’s nice. It’s almost like perfume MSG. Still, I am bored.

I wonder if the samples that macys sent out were bad beacuse people saying they get good longevity out of this is mind boggling. I get littearlly 3 hours tops with this. And that is pushing it. Quiet possibly the worst fragrance at this price point for longevity and projection I have ever tried(and multiple times mind you). For the smell it self. I get a lot of alcohol a the begining and a for lack of a better word cheap smell for about anywhere from 5 mins to sometimes 20. Some fresh green sorta notes to it at the begining. But as that fades I actually get a pretty enjoyable candy sorta vibe. That reminds me a lot of guess seductive. Sadly the candy vibe starts to fade and I get more green again and it actually can be kinda sicking to smell to me. While the candy sorta smell is there its nice, but honestly performance wise I feel this is on part with adidas moves or something and I can get that for 10 bucks. Even with the nice candy portion of the fragrance its a skin scent so not much chance of anyone enjoying it. Awful bang for your buck imo.

I love it and wear it , even if I’m a woman

Will add my review later, but just wanted to let you all know I have never come across an aquatic fragrance with more longevity in my life. On my skin it is a bit too musky for my taste, but in general this fragrance has an 80s powerhouse like lifespan that blows most of its predecessors out of the water.
boyarin667 – :
Tested it today, It’s absolutely fresh but in very very elegant way, and it last long, it’s obvious a Spring Summer Morning Breeze Fragrance ,never smelled something like it before, it’s new, very elegant , diffently recommended .
scrsnseabrook41 – :
I like all of Demachy’s creations.
It is very different then I thought it would be tho.
I love Pour Homme just a little more
ggpcp – :
Not worth the $80 I spent. Just a nice bottle and something to look at.
she781speagoessenda – :
Hi. I tried Fendi pour homme and i tried this. P.h. is less citrusy and in the dry down, leather and wood are very intense. Water,besides being fresher,has in the dry down,a strong sweet musk that dominates the leather and the cedar.
VeleInfet – :
LOVE it
I am loving all of Louis Vuitton Groups Frags lately. They are amazing.
kobisha – :
It’s very easy. The notes are already listed and smart people read impressionistically and between the lines.
smeshnoi212 – :
This is the regular version with a little “fresh” ingredients thrown in the top for a little while. So whereas the original has pink peppercorn, cardamom and woody notes this one has citrus and marine notes; however the leather comes in at the same time with both fragrances so this is fresh-leather-woody, while the other is a spicy-leather-woody. Just exchange the top notes. I will say this is probably the same to the original as aqua Fahrenheit is to the original Fahrenheit. I like it but I like the original also. This will stand head and shoulders above every other “acqua” that’s for sure.
b333xy – :
I’m sure like to get this one as i have never owned any Fendi frag before , but i think it’s gonna be really good ( based on the notes ) !
