GF Ferre Bluemusk

This is great work from Bourdon, he definitely masters the Melon accord, already used in Bergamotto Marino 2 years earlier. Fruity, salty, watery, very refreshing : this gives me Acqua Di Gio vibes, blended with the tart and ozonic violet from Fahrenheit.

In 1994 or so, I purchased a pack of X-Men trading cards. I remember the distinct smell of the cards as soon as I pulled them from the freshly opened pack. GF Ferre Bluemusk has this smell. Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme also has this smell.

When I received this slim and stunningly elegant bottle in the mail, I was quite excited to experience a 'blue' musk as the name of the perfume suggested; but I was quite surprised that it was far from what I'd consider a musky fragrance although definitely a woody one instead. I selected this perfume because it was designed by the famous Pierre Bourdon. Although launched as a 'unisex' edition, I actually found it more appealing to male tastes because of it's woodiness. I wore this out tonight and although the sillage was probably not strong, I could smell it on me as a close to the skin scent. I was wearing it in a dressy mode, going to a concert by Liza Minelli, and I knew instantly that the total effect would be perfect for a man in a suit. I could smell the pineapple and definitely the watermelon rind, the lavender and violet but not the citruses, although I thought they would have been the fresh, sparkling effect of the top notes when I first sprayed it on my skin. I have yet to try it in a more casual situation, but I would certainly recommend it for men who don't like smelling 'perfumed' but want to smell fresh instead; it's perfect for the office. I tried it in very hot weather and of course, it worked best in the heat!

the same modern and simple bottle.although I like the notes that I see here(melon,black currant,pine apple,violet) I didn't like it at store.not that I didn't really like it,but I didn't find something unique nor special in it. I should add that it's very aromatic,not very fruity,not sharp,not annoying.the bottle and scent is a bit like ghost for men.no surprise because of the same person as nose,but no similarity in notes. by the way I like it more than GF feree lui.

Giofranc ferre blue musk is more floral, lavendar, musk kind. i bought it on sale and never regret about it..and one more reason it suits best to work.and designed by pierre bourdon from the davidoff cool water fame..not so pricey but defntly smells like one..good job ferre. love it
