Fendi Casa Grande Review: 2024 Cherry Leather Amber

Fendi's 2024 unisex EDP pairs cherry liquor with myrrh, leather, amber, tonka, and vanilla.

By Vivir ·
Fendi Casa Grande arrived in 2024 as a unisex EDP composed by Quentin Bisch. It is built around a cherry liquor opening, a heart of Somalian myrrh and leather, and a base of amber, tonka bean, and vanilla. The fragrance sits in the amber-sweet-vanilla-leather-cherry accord family, with animalic, warm spicy, balsamic, and aromatic facets. Fragrantica's live page showed an overall rating of 3.95 from 79 votes at the time of review. The retail estimate for the 100ml EDP is approximately $330 to $400, though that price was not confirmed on a retailer page in this session. This is not a light or transparent cherry scent. The official Fendi description supports a cherry liquor opening, a myrrh and leather heart, and an amber-tonka-vanilla base. Fragrantica lists a flat note pyramid of leather, myrrh, cherry, amber, tonka bean, and vanilla, so the top-middle-base split should be treated as approximate. The overall effect is dense, warm, and leather-forward, with moderate projection that settles close to the skin after the opening. Casa Grande enters a crowded field of cherry-forward fragrances, but its emphasis is different. The cherry is present as a liquor accord rather than a fresh fruit note, and the myrrh-leather-amber base gives it a resinous, animalic weight. That makes it a cool-weather evening scent more than a bright daytime option. It also means the fragrance is likely to be polarizing: sweet cherry and animalic leather are not universally easy materials. For readers considering a sample, the most important data points are the 8+ hour longevity reported by reviewers, the moderate sillage, and the close-to-skin projection after the opening.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

First 0-30 minutes: the cherry liquor accord leads. It is sweet and boozy in impression, but the verified data does not describe additional top notes beyond cherry. The opening is the brightest part of the wear, though bright here is relative because the composition is still dense and warm.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

1-2 hours: Somalian myrrh and leather move forward. The myrrh is described as Somalian incense oil, which gives the heart a resinous, balsamic character. Leather adds a firm, animalic edge. This is the core of Casa Grande: cherry sweetness over resin and leather.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

4+ hours: amber, tonka bean, and vanilla form the base. The drydown is warm, sweet, and balsamic, with the leather and myrrh still detectable underneath. Reviewers report great longevity, with 8+ hours cited. Projection is moderate and becomes close-to-skin after the opening; the scent is leather-forward and dense rather than loud.

Final Verdict
