As FENDI marks its 100th anniversary, the Maison launches a new fragrance inspired by the hypnotic beauty of Rome, the eternal city and city of origins.

Eaux d’Artifice has the sweet scent of celebration, reminding us that FENDI is ‘ieri, oggi, domani’: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The fragrance brings within its name all the spirit of celebration as fireworks in French are called feux d’artifice.

Perfumer: Jérôme di Marino

Delfina Delettrez Fendi’s inspiration for Eaux d’Artifice was her nighttime view of the famous Trevi Fountain – A theatre of stone with a continuous ballet of water cascading over a marble backdrop. 

A mineral and aquatic olfactory accord: sensual and musky and enhanced by the aromatic freshness of juniper. The fragrance also captures the metallic accents of the lucky coins thrown into the fountain by visitors, reminiscent of the High Jewellery pieces designed by Delfina; a jeweler’s tribute in the form of a fragrance, like a necklace upon the skin. Make a wish: for eternity.

“ Perfume, like jewellery, is a silent accessory that sends messages about who we are or who we want to be”» Delfina Delettrez Fendi.

One year after the launch of FENDI’s first fragrance collection, Eaux d’Artifice joins the most iconic creations in the olfactory palette and its great successes: Perché No and La Baguette.

This olfactory story is rooted back to 1925, when Adele Casagrande Fendi and her husband Edoardo Fendi opened a fur and leathergoods workshop in Rome, passed on from generation to generation, from matriarch to strong, inspiring and inspired women, across a closely bonded family. A story that outlines the future of perfumery: exclusive, narrative, vibrant and embodied, precious and passionate.

Fragrances, personalities and emblematic places, united as a family. A collection like an invitation to journey into the intimacy of FENDI and its leading figures.
