Fendi Ciao Amore Review: A Sunlit Fig and Orange Blossom

A 2024 unisex EDP that turns bitter green fig into a soft tonka skin scent.

By Vivir ·
Fendi Ciao Amore arrives in 2024 as a unisex EDP composed by Fanny Bal, and it feels like a small Mediterranean holiday folded into a bottle. The name suggests a warm greeting, but the scent is not a loud postcard. It is a translucent green-fig fragrance with an orange-blossom sparkle and a tonka-bean soft landing. In a year when fragrance lovers are balancing gourmand indulgence with quiet-luxury freshness, Ciao Amore sits comfortably in the latter lane. At the time of writing, Fragrantica lists an overall rating of 3.94 from 48 votes. That is a useful starting point: not a hyped blind-buy darling, but a solid like-to-love for the right wearer. The fragrance is not yet in our Vivir database base entry, so this review sticks to verified composition data and reviewer-derived performance notes. Where the data is thin, we say so rather than inventing a number. The result is a clear picture of what Ciao Amore does, who it suits, and where it may disappoint. It is a scent for people who want to smell polished without announcing themselves from across the room.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

Orange blossom gives a citrus-floral shimmer while fig leaf supplies a bitter-green bite; reviewers describe this stage as sharp for the first hour.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

Fig becomes more legible, fruity but not juicy-sweet, with a lactonic softness and a soapy clean edge that keeps it from turning heavy.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

Tonka bean takes the lead, turning the fragrance into a sweet, soft skin scent that stays close and comfortable.

Performance Dashboard

Longevity 3.0/5

Moderate, roughly 4-6 hours; becomes a sweet tonka skin scent in the drydown.

Projection 3.0/5

Strong and sharp for the first hour, then soft and close to the skin.

Sillage 3.0/5

Moderate; it leaves a personal trail rather than filling a room.

Final Verdict

Fendi Ciao Amore is a sunlit, unisex fig fragrance that trades heaviness for easy elegance. Its bitter-green opening and soft tonka drydown make it a natural office and warm-weather companion, provided you accept moderate longevity and a close-to-skin finish. Sample it if you love fig leaf, orange blossom, and clean skin scents; skip it if you need loud projection or all-day tenacity.
