Super replacement for Fendi's "Fendi"

My mother used to love and enjoy wearing the "Fendi" perfume by Fendi. Unfortunately, it has not been on the market for many years and she still mourns the fragrance. While looking for a good alternative that was as similar as possible, I came across Scherrer 1 and ordered it online and gave it to her as a gift. She is super happy and the first bottle is already empty! I don't know if it comes close enough for any perfume snobs, but for us normal "perfume consumers" it smells super similar and very, very pleasant! Full recommendation

Both fragrances are uniquely great. However, I don't find much similarity in them, although I like wearing Fendi and Scherrer alternately. Congratulations to your mom on her good taste ;-)

It's great if you've found an alternative. But it bears no resemblance to Fendi.

Scherrer is a wonderful chypre. You made a great choice.
I'm not a perfume snob;) but I really don't find Scherrer similar to Fendi.
I used both in the late 80s / 90s and both fragrances are unsweet and delight the nose of perfume lovers who like elegant, unsweet fragrances beyond the mainstream.
Maybe your mother would also like
would also like #cabochard.

You're absolutely right about DIVA PETITE! But it's also discontinued 😶

P.S. Scherrer and Fendi both belong to the chypre family. For me, however, Scherrer is much cooler, clearer, brighter-Fendi has more spice. Diva Pépite would be something for a possible Fendi replacement
