Is Asja by Fendi still in production?+−
No, Asja has been discontinued for a significant amount of time. It is now primarily available through vintage resellers and perfume collectors.
How does Asja compare to other spicy oriental fragrances of its era?+−
While it shares the clove-and-cinnamon DNA of scents like Coco or Cinnabar, Asja distinguishes itself with a heavy emphasis on dark fruits like peach, apricot, and raspberry, giving it a sweeter, plusher texture than its more medicinal peers.
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Because of its strong sillage and bold spicy notes, Asja is generally better suited for evening wear, formal occasions, or leisure. Its "big" 90s personality can be overwhelming in a professional or confined business setting.
What is the dominant character of the dry down?+−
The dry down is warm, woody, and resinous. The styrax, amber, and sandalwood create a smoky, balsamic finish that is sweetened slightly by vanilla and benzoin.
