Dolce Bacio

The intensity of a rose and the sweetness of an apricot.

Dolce Bacio, a sweet kiss on the cheek, lingering like the smear of a rose-scented lipstick. The rose named after Anna Fendi, ochre-coloured like the sky at dawn in the heart of Rome's rose garden.

“It's the scent that personifies my mother. A woman who is both very strong and very gentle, a common trait of all Fendi women.” – Silvia Venturini Fendi

A perfume like a garden overlooking the city, green and floral, woody and earthy. The fragrance by master perfumer Anne Flipo has the sparkle of a sweet, sunny apricot and the dry, smoky accents of Indonesian patchouli. In the middle of the accord, Damascene rose from Turkey, powerful and velvety, ample and embracing.

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.

• Rosa damascena absolute of Turkish origin
• Apricot accord of the perfumer's creation
• Patchouli of Indonesian origin
