Fendi La Baguette launched in 2024 as part of a new collection of seven fragrances celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fendi coming in 2025. It celebrates the stories of the women who have shaped the Fendi brand and the Italian fashion industry. La Baguette was created by Anne Flipo and inspired the allure of suede leather. It has notes of iris, leather and vanilla. Fendi La Baguette is an EDP, eau de parfum.
From the brand -
"The exquisite simplicity of a baguette, the inescapable allure of suede leather. A fragrance like the summer sun rising over Rome. Wheat blond like Delfina Delettrez Fendi’s twin sons, Tazio and Dardo. Delightful like their favourite afternoon snack, a slice of sweet buttered bread. For Fendi, the Baguette has always been more than a bag – it’s a beloved icon that unites generations. 'I was pregnant when I designed the Baguette bag, it's a timeless piece that will always be associated with the idea of a new generation.' – Silvia Venturini Fendi
"Now, the universal appeal of the Baguette has been captured in a fragrance by master perfumer Anne Flipo. A floral, powdery iris from France imbues it with the sophistication of the iconic bag. Behind it, a Madagascar vanilla: the indulgence of a sweet dessert, a pleasure to share. Uniting them, a sensual, velvety leather note. A century after Adele Casagrande and Edoardo Fendi opened their fur and leather workshop in Rome, the family’s third and fourth generation weave stories of their secret gardens in their storied medium – the finest raw materials."
Fragrantica - "La Baguette smells like sweet vanilla and cold, buttery irises. The sillage feels texturally silky with the chilly iris note. The vanilla is also borderline gourmand, but the white leather balances it beautifully. My partner who is mostly indifferent to my perfume collection even asked me what I was wearing because it smelled so good! Full bottle worthy, and safe blind buy if you cannot get your nose on it if you like sweet iris frags."
Fragrantica - "La Baguette was a pleasant surprise, exceeding my expectations in every way. While it may seem like another iris and vanilla combination at first glance, the execution is exceptional. The blend is seamless, with high quality ingredients that elevate the scent to new heights. The addition of white leather adds a luxurious touch, reminiscent of Parisian chic. The sweetness is balanced by a subtle powdery note, while the buttery leather prevents the fragrance from becoming too gourmand. I was so impressed that I purchased a full bottle, and I can’t wait to wear it during the fall and winter seasons. The performance is also outstanding, with longevity exceeding 10 hours and an impressive sillage."
