Fougère Italiano

Two years in my collection and i still love it! I have to thank my favourite reviewer Chris from scentland for this hidden gem! This is a fresh fougere, more ozonic than the usual scents of this genre, so not so much pine or herbal notes here. The juice is blue but it has nothing in common with the blue fragrances of today. Hard to compare to other scents, it has something from azzaro Chrome or prada l'homme, but the soft 90's vibe reminds a bit Biagiotti tempore uomo, but tempore is more flowery when fougere italiano is more ozonic.another one similar but not identical is Trussardi python for men, the vibes are very close. The blend is done perfectly, the aroma is classy but not too serious, this fragrance means holiday, happyness, comfort, relax. The performance is very good: nice projection for the first two hours, then is more quiet but not weak. Longevity about 7h. The price is a steal, in Italy u can find it everywhere at 20-25€ for a big bottle. A compliment getter for sure. One of the best cheapie ever made! Ferre fougere italiano è incredibilmente piacevole, fresco, rinvigorente, maturo ma non vecchio. Un profumo che ispira vacanza, tranquillità, eleganza casual. Non è rivoluzionario ma per quel che costa è un affare gigantesco! Scent-8.5 Sillage-8,5 Longevity -8,5 Versatility-8,5 Uniqueness-8 Presentation-7 Compliment factor-8,5 Backup bottle? Yes My vote-8,5 In one word- effortless Alternative - Trussardi python for men, azzaro Chrome, Biagiotti tempore uomo, prada l'homme.

Litterally Spring in a bottle! It's Bergamot + Jasmine, an airy, not cloying, not indolic fragrance, it reminds me of a blanche beer. I feel the pink pepper not in the opening but a bit before the drydown, it becomes noticeable only when the jasmine gets toned town. Musk in the drydown gives it a clean feeling, like freshly washed bedsheets (I like it, but I undestand it's a matter of personal taste) but it's in the background, and the cedar it's even more in the background. Yet they are present to contribute to make this fragrance also masculine. It's unisex in my book and it reminds me of Chanel Chance eau fraiche EDP, which I also consider unisex. Both are jasmine centric, while Chanel is a bit more feminine and won't suit the more manly men out there, Fougere italiano leans on the masculine side and won't suit more feminine girls. The citruses are more prominent in Chanel and it has better perfomance, to be expected considering price difference. It seems like it was made after my taste and my idea of a perfect spring sunday. Despite what I described as "airiness" the projection is decent for the first 2 hours, then it sits closer to the skin. Longevity is fine for a summer fragrance, I get at least 6 hours.

Its "just" a big WOW from me... Did a blind buy on this one after some really nice reviews on Youtube, and I must say this one is my fav fragrance right now... A 100ml bottle of EDT tester was like 10 bucks... Its a complete steal... I have some really expensive stuff (YSL, Azzaros, Versace, Lattafa, etc) but this one something really really special... So soft, not masculine, but the harmony in this scent... Is just unbelievable. Its my top hidden gem of all time when I look for a fragrance... Job well done.

Im i love with this scent :) not right away after aplying, give it half an hour and then... man... literally, if you want to smell like a gent- this juice is no brainer :) fresh, litle bit spicy, does not scream in any shape or form, just a good, calm gentlemenly juice. can dress up, can wear polo, it will fit anywhere :) simple, straight to the point perfumery, not for youngsters guys, somehow it gives grown up wibes, in a good way, should be at least 35+ imho :)

Starts soft citric bergamot sweet not sharp florally jasmine sweet and smooth some green aromatics , clean fresh musky base that you start to get fairly early on with the jasmine ..like a Mediterranean garden heavy on jasmine after its rained. Not ozonic not even watery just Uber fresh sweet clean until a green soapy dry powdery finish . Simple clean springtime in a bottle ..Not strong performance ok sillage 5 hours on my skin not a long time but a good time
