Ferrari Silver Essence

Wow. For under $50 (USD) you can buy this, and in your possession will be a beautiful fragrance with the complexity of Tom Ford's Black Orchid, the smoothness of Bleu de Chanel EDP, and the head turning novelty of Gucci Pour Homme II. I was skeptical upon purchasing this: I had bought Ferrari Leather Essence and was underwhelmed. I shouldn't have been. This is one of the best fragrances I've nosed. A strong, warm spice opening of nutmeg and cinnamon backed by a touch of herbality (from sage and thyme) and woods (presumably from the wood heavy base). Then the coconut pops out: This is not a bag of sweetened baking coconut. This is not a coconut macaroon. This is the dried out, unsweetened coconut chips from the health section of the grocery store. Ferrari bought them, took them home and soaked them in unsweetened but creamy coconut milk. This has found its place alongside notes like the cardamom of LNdL, Vetiver of Encre Noire, Orchid and Tuber of Black Orchid, Gasoline of Fahrenheit, and Myrtle in Essenza di Zegna as my favorite notes I've ever smelled. Now, take this dry, creamy coconut and blend it with a touch of sharp woodiness from the birch that blends with the incense in the base to make an almost birch-tar/tar note. Smoky, creamy, woody coconut. Holy crapoli it is beautiful. In the base is the heavy hitting sucker punch combo of cedar and guaiac. Back this with smoky incense and fleeting ghostly images of the coconut. It remains creamy, off-sweet, and dry. This is among my favorites now. I wore it almost a week straight, which is saying something since I often like to mix up the scent I wear within the day. I may dare to say this is the most satisfying sum of money I have spent on my collection thusfar. Get it, try it, I give you permission to blind buy.

It seems to me that Ferrari decided to get out of its comfort zone and started to fight in a new growing market, in which major brands are launching Prestige lines (also known as Exclusive) in order to respond to its audience and conquer new users. And thus was born the Essence Collection, with more elaborated perfumes, noble ingredients and a greater concern in details, such as heavier bottles that bring the brand embossed on the lids and are ornamented by the leather, which conveys luxury and sophistication. Silver Essence is the second fragrance of this line (the first was Essence OUD) and follows the same pattern, which refers to a certain style of life, inspired by the prestige and elegance of the Ferrari Grand Tourism spirit. The fragrance is Woody and rich in spices, with Eau de Parfum concentration. The notes are: Silver Sage, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and a dash of thyme. In the heart, we have silver Birch (with its silvery-white bark), lavender, patchouli leaves, and coconut. Finally, a base rich in woods like Guaiac, Atlas cedar, musk and a touch of incense. Now, try to imagine the smell of an intense fragrance, with cinnamon and nutmeg, right in the output, hot as a sunny day in Italy. Then, it begins to be enriched by the woody tone of the birch bark, along with patchouli and the creaminess of the coconut. And this scent, which could have become too nauseating, is trapped by the noble and dense tone of the Guaiac wood that, along with incense, confer a smoky base to the fragrance. And as a good EDP, it has wonderful sillage and projection. I still don't know the entire line, but Silver Essence is a real abuse of quality, resulting in numerous compliments and bringing a sense of security and power.

Chicago Tony T sums this up pretty well below. It's not as sweet as you'd expect from the notes (namely the coconut). It's a bit spicier and warmer than you'd expect. Given the Ferrari name, I sort of expected this to be a scent typical for guys in their 20's to 30's, but I think this one is probably a bit more at home with the 35-40+ crowd, although I think anyone 25+ can probably pull this one off. For me personally, I'll be most likely to wear this one in the fall and winter. To sum it up, I like it a lot, but it doesn't quite tick all the boxes for me. Don't get me wrong, the scent is great! It's also strong, long lasting, and the ingredients smell natural and surprisingly high quality. I'd put this in the same category as Nuit d'Issey, but I personally prefer the latter. I also purchased Ferrari Leather Essence after sampling this, and they definitely both share the same woody cinnamon DNA undertones. Hard to describe exactly what's so similar about them, but they're both very, very good! Regardless of whether or not this is the scent for me, the scent itself is amazing, and Ferrari deserves respect for their Essence line! These scents are all fantastic so far, from my sampling. Update: After wearing this again from the 10ml splash bottle I have, I've gotta say, I may have spoken too soon. This scent is so good. While I might prefer Nuit d'Issey and Ferrari Leather Essence more often, this scent is amazing. The coconut note is unique and very well done and there's just enough sweetness. I may be looking to add a full bottle of this to my collection some day, especially for its current $22 price tag!

I don't own a lot of fragrances and the ones I own are all designer. I like to test a few before I make a purchase. A few months ago I had few on my test list and this was on. I tested quite a few that day, a lot of the popular recommended fragrances. This I tested purely because it was available at a good price and the reviews and notes seemed curious. After testing around five scents that day this one was just stuck with me and I couldn't get enough.The first thing I did when I got home was order a bottle. It smells SOOOOO GOOOD. . It's not overly done or too serious. Its warm, spicy, comforting and reliable but not overpowering. The coconut is there but you will only know its that if told so and then it won't go away, its gentle wafts together with a light almost slightly fresh spiciness. There'also some woods and slight smokiness. Definitely orginal and unique but in a good conservative manner. Performance is also great and lasts a full working day. Projects decently for a few hours then sits closer. Great as an office scent for autumn and winter but I still find myself reaching for it as we're into spring. 9.5/10 (only because I haven't tested every fragrance out there to determine if it's perfect) If you get it at a discount price it's a no brainer. Actually considering getting another bottle incase it gets discontinued.

Ferrari! Well done! This is a quality, intriguing, finely blended fragrance, so that I cannot pick out a dominant note. A lot has been said about the coconut accord and while it is present, it doesn’t dominate or turn this into a “coconut” or tropical fragrance. It does, however, give FSE its uniqueness and “wow” factor - woody, aromatic, spicy, creamy, and light dry coconut. I love it. Perfect for a signature scent, probably more mature than youthful, but so, so good. When I first sprayed it on, something about it reminded me of a fragrance in my collection. I went through them all in my head- nothing clicked. When I got home, I knew what it was. Went to my fragrances and sprayed FSE on one arm and Quorum Silver on the other. Bingo. Notes both have in common: lavender, cedar, guiac wood, pepper, patchouli, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Seems to me like Ferrari got inspiration for the name and scent DNA from Puig, but gave it more complexity and warmth with added coconut, sage, thyme, musk, and incense. This one deserves any and all hype- different from the herd, average performance for me, addicting.

If I had a blind test of Ferrari Silver Essence, my first guess would be this is something Tom Ford would create and shove it for 150+ euros. First things first. If you don't like coconut and nutmeg, stay away. Ferrari Silver Essence does smell silver-ish in a way that coconut lotion leftover, salicylates on skin. I had my doubts, but thanks to all reviewers again this was a perfect blind buy. It opens up with strong coconut-nutmeg, with a crisp woody-peppery note. I also get something metallic for a few minutes but not at all disturbing then scent turned into an amazing niche-smelling dry coconut-nutmeg wood bomb but it's never overpowering and cloying. It feels sweet but it's actually not. I think the wood notes here are very balancing the coconut, probably incense, birch or guaiacwood leading. It settles dry, and seems to stick to my skin very well but not projecting like a beast in the cold right now. Even though alone it's already a great scent, I can imagine layering this with CdG Wonderwood (for those who thinks WW is too dry and this can warm it up) or Lalique Encre Noire a L'extreme.

Read reviews before buying a fragrance, but take them with a grain of salt as well. Everyone has their own opinion regarding smells. Some people love it. Some people hate it. My advice is for you to get a sample of ANY fragrance before you ever buy it. That way you can assess it for yourself and have your own thoughts, rather than strictly going off of someone else's thoughts and opinions. I agree with the commenter below. The fragrance has a slightly sweet, soft, coconut, cinnamon, and leathery aura, but the dry down is dark, and the woods become prominent. I consider Silver Esscence a formal fragrance that is great for daytime or night time use during the colder months. Cooler air radiates the smell of the fragrance, causing a dark and loveky sillage. I like it. It smells great.

Not much to say that hasn't been said already...I would personally wear this anytime, but I could see it leaning more to a night fragrance (dusk specifically). I'm rather new to The Game, but this is one of the more intriguing compositions I've encountered thus far. It's a bit sinus opening at 1st, but it quickly calms down into something mysteriously pleasant. A hint of sweetness without being so... It's Musky, Smoky, Creamy, Spicy, but indirectly, very well blended. Overall performance is leagues beyond it's asking price....... Also, it's presentation is rather well done. Nice color scheme, hefty bottle, recognizable look, sprayer seems decent, trim on cap is a great homage to their heritage

If Azzaro Visit is a sexy mature and hairy womanizer in his 50s, Ferrari Silver Essence is his little brother in his 30s who's also sexy, but he's bisexual and just like his big brother he isn't afraid of anything. Or I might be wrong and he's just his son who he never met. They are both hard, but don't last too long. It's a unique sexy woody spicy fragrance that's a little bit sweet. You could call this a sweet /version flanker of Visit. It's doesn't smell like coconut(fantasy note in this case) whatsoever, but it doesn't even matter because there are only few bottles left around the world. Perfumers are Nathalie Feisthauer and Bernard Ellena.

I purchased this one for my man (he is 58) on Valentine`s day. He normally doesn`t wear perfume but he loves this one. This is a sexy scent even for a mature man (the mix of warm spices, woody notes and coconut is devine), that is not mainstream,quite unlike what most men his age wear. Surprising for the Ferrari line, which I disliked in the past. Along with the FSE, I was offered a small bottle of the Bvulgari Man extreme as a gift along with my purchase. Although Bvulgari generally produce good quality perfumes, I find the scent more generic. Ferrari Silver Essence is definitely a good choice.

ferrari silver essence first impressions a love at first sniff for me very original nothing else smells like it, natural smelling a very high end fragrance. from top notes to buttom notes I love it. I love ow the scent transforms I love the coconut note and oh its there you cant miss it. The coconut blends well with the incense along with the woods at the buttom. A very elegant scent an all around scent in my opinion. Performance is awesome 8-10 hours with sillage. This one screams 3 heavy sprays will last all day. A love for me on the silver now to test oud essense.

Something amazing about Silver Essence that I respect and adore. One of my current collection that I bought blindly. Is it recommended? Yes Will I repurchase? Nope. Because i got plenty of other KIV list and totally not because its not good. As Fragrance Head & Perfume Collector, this should be added into collection because its unique,affordable cheap price but smell expensive. I bet this Silver Essence is a bit difficult to get nowadays.

یه عطر خوش بو وخیلی عالی.متفاوت از عطرهای دیگه ی فراری واقعا عطر جا افتاده و برجسته ای هست.حما یه تستی داشته باشید.ترکیب بوی نارگیل و دارچین خیلی عالی شده.تو سبک عطر لا نوییت دلوم از اییو سن لورن هست و تا حدی منو یاد عطر هرود از مارلی هم انداخت.پس از اسپری کردن احساس میکنی که یه مدل هستی و حتما باید همیشه شیک باشی مثل یه مدل.واقعا عطر ارزشمندیه

Blind bought this back in 2018. It grew on me. So many compliments wearing it. Very similar to Leather Essence with more coconut. Managed to snag an extra bottle off Ebay, but hard to find these days.

Just amazing. It manages to be unique and pleasing simultaneously; great performance as well. If you fancy dry, woody scents with a touch of smoky sweetness, this is for you.

I love this composition. Calming and smells expensive. Very long lasting but moderate sillage. I think it is one of the best in the range. Must buy bcoz itsvery cheap.

This mysterious fragrance is one of the head turning ones , all is vanilla and coconut with the base of Ceylon cinnamon , wearing it for club is a stellar . Age 30~55

Also, who is the perfumer for this? I want to try more of their stuff!

This is nice. Odd though, it seems to go straight into the mid of coconut, patch, and lavender for me, with the base not far behind. I find the pepper/spice top notes appear later. That said, I'm enjoying the weirdness of this. The lavender is smooth and clean like L'Occitan; the patch dry but creamy, and a noncommittal coconut seems to drift in and out, being strong though when it's there. I'm a big fan of smoky scents and the incense here is vying for top spot among the notes. But added to the Birch/Cedar leathery accord, the smoke becomes almost too much at times, especially when the coconut is present. This element dies down though after a while. The musky woods develop through the later stages reminding me of Stash and Graphite, i.e. very woody. It's strength is superb - I put it on 4 hours ago, have just had a bath, and it's going strong as much more than the skin-scent many other frags would've become by now. Yep, I like it. Not the most complex of scents, but is solid nonetheless. On my skin it's beautiful layered with Encre noir a l'extreme. Edit - I was asked about whether the coconut note was like suntan lotion and replied: 'On me there's only maybe the merest hint of suntan lotion, I wouldn't say this was tropical really. To begin, the lavender note muffles the coconut so that I get more the flesh of a coconut perhaps. The further into drydown it goes though a dry (patchouli) leathery creaminess suggests hot skin in the sun - skin that's had lotion on. It's a nice coconut, but interesting mixed with lavender.'

When I first smelled Ferrari Silver Essence it immediately made me think of Burberry London (with the Brown/Red/White Tartan wrapped bottle) as that is also a tobacco-leather-sweet scent. However, when I put them side by side and they have enough differences to stand them apart. The quality of FSE is noticeably higher probably because it is EDP where BL is EDT. BL has a definite lean towards leather and cherry with a hint of tobacco on the finish. However, FSE is a much thicker, more balanced combination. I get dry but sharp citrus top end (perhaps too sharp and overpowering really), followed by the rich, sweet, smokey wooden heart of Coconut, Cedar and Incense - they are detectable individually. I am testing FSE from a 10ml 'dab-it-on' sample bottle so may have applied it to heavily. I'm interested enough to maybe buy the EDP spray and revise my take on this but so far impressed at the quality and composition and the modest price makes it good value. Update: The most notable characteristic is that it starts off very 'quiet' but as it warms up and starts to develop it gradually wakes up and gets louder until after 1-2 hours anyone walking within 6 feet of you will get a healthy waft of Ferrari !! Silver !! Essence !! :o)
