Fan di Fendi: leather-only tonight

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:24:08 +0000

Launched in 2010, the Italian house has described Fan di Fendi as an addictive ‘it-fragrance.’ For Fan’s biggest fans, Fendi is presenting a leather edition for the holidays.

The bottle is wrapped in a ‘shiny black-leather sheath, designed by Silvia Fendi.’ The leather is a nod to the fragrance itself, a woodsy-floral with lightly chypry and leathery tonalities.

This collectible eau de parfum, with a suggested retail price of 150 euros for 1.7 ounces, comes with a golden double F zipper pull.

Christmas is coming, and you still haven’t found THE gift idea for him? osMoz presents a selection of boxed sets of men’s scents. Just follow the guide!

For style-conscious men, Diesel proposes Fuel for Life. This fresh, woody eau de toilette comes with a matching after-shave balm and shower gel. The unusual touch? The box is shaped like a vintage TV set. An unexpected pleasure.

Don Juans will enjoy Excite, the new woody-gourmand scent that Axe is featuring packaged with an extra gift: a scented deodorant, a boxer short or a sack with the brand’s logo.

Three choices that all come with the same promise: ‘you’ll make angels fall from the sky.’ Be careful who you give it to!

For the chic and sporty men in your life, how about a brightly colored box of Ralph Lauren’s Big Pony, with a choice of four different styles. We think the red one, a sexy blend of dark chocolate and musk, will look great under a tree. 1 eau de toilette + 1 scented body spray = 1 great Christmas gift, guaranteed!

And men with character will know that Kokorico, Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest men’s scent, was made with them in mind. For the holidays, the famous tin can package has been redesigned as a flamboyantly red film canister. What’s inside? The woody-chocolaty eau de toilette with a matching shower gel.

Calling female fans of what’s salty-sweet: now Thierry Mugler lets you flaunt the Womanity style right to the tips of your fingers with a gothic-chic scented ring.

The ring is adjustable to fit all women. A limited-edition item.
