Ferre for Men

ferre for men is one of the best releases of the last 15 years. it is a perfect combo of iris, floral and oakmoss. the iris is more masculine compared to dior homme, the rose, the patchuli and sandalwood are so well blended to give you a fantastic, classy, gentleman vibe. it is very italian and modern. the powderiness is gorgeous without the "make up bag" taste. this scent is so underrated, i cant understand why. maybe only the great SCENTLAND is still talking about this masterpiece, ferre for men deserves more hype for sure. the performance is good, nothing impressive in terms of projection and longevity, just average. better for winter and fall, casual and nightout situations. i found for a great price in a little store after years of searching, this is not so easy to find. is it discontinued? i hope is still in production. un profumo eccezionale, vellutato e virile allo stesso tempo. scent-9 long-7,5 sillage-7,5 uniqueness-8,5 versatility-8 bottle-8 compliment factor-7 my vote-9 in one word- charming

Elegant and understated...especially the excellent drydown. For those occasions when you just want to wear something for yourself without worrying about the rest of the world. Ferre (2006) somehow reminds me of Xeryus Mythique. Two very different bottles from two different eras yet both evoke the same frame of mind. Ferre for Men is similar in structure to Dior Homme (thank you, gas chromatography), but I prefer the former. Where Dior Homme strives for minimalism, Ferre for Men not only increases the number of notes but also complements them (again, thanks, gas chromatography!); somewhat like getting Frankie Valli in Dior, the entire Four Seasons in Ferre. It is a definite improvement on DH (because I like it better)...but it's not Dior...and for most people, that's the end of the discussion.

This is another fragrance I have to pull out the "shed" aka the cologne stash. If you love iris, well look no further. Now at first, I was like...do I need another Dior-ish frag...????? Well, this gives you a switch-a-roo. It gives more of a citrus tone to this with a touch of vanilla to give it an oriental feel as well in the background--not too much. What that means for us? Basically, it is an all year fragrance. Now, it is not too powdery though to my nose. It is just enough to notice that iris note and appreciate all notes that makes this feel like a walk in a beautifully landscape backyard. Many Dior fans would have to ask, "Excuse me, what fragrance are you wearing? It smells good. For real." P.S. Price is super good for what you get...IJS= I'm just saying ;) YT ShavenontheDarkside

This is an Excellent Fragrance and A Hidden Gem ! Masculine, Modern, Fruity, Clean and Floral. It has High Quality Composition with reasonable price, A MASTERPIECE by Pierre Bourdon and Gianfranco Ferre House. Nowadays It is very Rare and hard to find. It doesn't smell similar to lipstick or women cosmetics ! It opens up with semi sweet fruity and floral notes in the background then dry down is a bit powdery sweet, musky , mossy and woody. It is sweet but It is not cloying. This perfume is perfect for the all seasons. I really enjoy it and I fell in love with first sniff. I'm so glad that I have it in my collection. Longevity is Average, Highly Recommended. Two Thumbs Up. Bravo Monsieur Pierre Bourdon ! Rating : 8 / 10

Soft, delicate and classy. These are the words that I use to describe Ferre. The fragrance starts out sweet initially but soon dries down to a delicate scent. I don't think sillage is that great so this is one to wear when you feel there is no need to really stand out and where you want to simply have a scent for yourself and have someone close to you notice you as well. For the price, you can't go wrong as I don't think this is a fragrance that will offend anyone. This is not really a casual everyday type of fragrance but one to wear where you want to step out in front of people without having your fragrance scream at them. Wearing this to places like church, weddings, dinner parties, etc. would be ideal.
