Amo Ferragamo

Give it a minute or two to settle down after the initial spray. Otherwise you'll get a noseful of rubbing alcohol. Anyway, once that dissipates, Amo opens with sweet notes that start adding other notes as it develops. Smells like a luscious dessert. I'm getting creamy milky vanilla with a hint of tart fruit - like berries. I know the notes breakdown say it has blackcurrant but the blackcurrant accord is not overly sweet like in other blackcurrant frags I've smelled. It's also not sharp. It's very much a bit player to the vanilla, lightly scenting it to give it extra gourmand-y dimension. I personally don't know what campari smells like but if it's anything like this, I like it. Initial projection is strong. Easily arm's length but based on how strong it is and how far away I sprayed it, it's definitely well past that. >30 mins in there's a new note in the background. It smells like coffee grounds or coffee jelly. It's grounding the dessert accord in some smokiness. Not incense-y. Smoke-y. >1hr 30 mins in, I'm detecting the green notes. It smells grassy like vetiver but per the note breakdown it's likely the mate and rosemary. >Another hour later, this has become a vanilla scent. All of the other ornamentation seems gone. It's also a skin scent at this point. >5 hrs in. So that vanilla scent was its final form. I haven't detected any other note since. The way this is going I think this will last at least 8 hrs but we shall see. This is only the second Ferragamo frag I've tried out but at this point I think a pattern with how their frags develop is emerging. Ferragamos only really have two stages - the gorgeous, layered gourmand opening then a mediocre also-rans base. There's really no heart. I noticed a similar quirk with their Uomo Signature. That starts off with this amazingly gourmand tiramisu + leather combo which, to me, is a leather accord leagues superior to Tuscan Leather's raspberry + leather tandem. However, once it's had its moment everything settles into a vetiver + patchouli base. I mean it's perfectly serviceable and wouldn't make any man feel 'less' but it'd be nice if the second half was as clever and awe-inspiring as the first. I think the only other perfume from a different brand (with a similar 2 stage structure) that astounds in the beginning then bores in the next is Lost Cherry.

Bright, feminine and gorgeous! So I got this perfume as an early Christmas gift and I have to admit, I really love it, and I don't throw that word around lightly. The bottle is heavy and classy, the packaging is pretty and the scent - Wow! This is super sweet, warm and utterly delicious! Once upon a time when I was young and fully committed to my wanderlust, my friend and I took a last minute break to a five star hotel in Sorrento. When we got there, we were treated like royalty and handed vividly coloured cocktails the moment we stepped into the hotel that were absolutely mouth watering. This perfume reminds me of that vacation! The fabulous Italian style, the warm weather, the relaxing way of life... Happy times! As for the juice - the boozy campari opening is sooooo yummy and evokes such wonderful memories for me. The orange is juicy and refreshing while the sandalwood and vanilla add in warmth and depth. A slight tang of rhubarb keeps it from being overbearingly sweet. I personally don't get any rosemary. Amo definitely reminds me of Lolitlaland's little sister with her strong alcoholic opening and divine vanilla base. Amo is more flirtatious, definitely the fun one in the family and a *lot* more wearable. I own both, and find myself grabbing this one more frequently than I ever did with LL. Lolitaland is lovely and whimsical and uber sweet but I have to be in the mood for her, where as this one is a no-brainer. If I want to smell great, receive compliments and just generally feel uplifted and fabulous, I know I'll be reaching for Amo. I'll definitely be keeping this one in my collection from now on. EDIT: Wore this to do some shopping in a supermarket today and had a man follow me around while I was with my other half. He asked me to write down what perfume I was wearing so he could get it for his wife and said that he was wondering who it was that smelt so good! My BF found it funny thankfully haha!

This is such a sweet, herbaceous number, and completely abstract from anything I expected coming from this house. Possibly tainted by Emozione's vulgar attempt at femininity, I assumed another pretentious offer, exploiting the already flash-fad of sugary sweet, homogenized youth. This, however, is complex, verbose; a slightly sarcastic jog into the world of gourmand scents. Each note seems balanced with its counterpart, emboldening a sensuous, thoughtful connection to the physical world, while nodding to the tenuous undertones of our everyday. The bottle is gorgeous, and comfortable to spray. The price is approachable, and the list of components, alone, cause pause in the mundane world of review. Campari's herbaceous sweetness, toned with the pucker of rhubarb, create a juiciness that is nearly drinkable. Rosemary's conifer heft of oily stems and pines, are matched with the delicate earthiness of mate's tender leaves. Soft, floral trails of vanilla encourage sandalwood to become creamier. Jasmine's sharp voice and sometimes bitter expression, eased effortlessly by the saccharine nature of Ambroxan. These are not ingredients ordinate. They cultivate a very intentional gastronomic experience, and it is in this format, they pull ahead of competition. This is a true gourmand. It stands, deservedly tall. It is an example of what gourmand fragrances should esteem for. Adding caramel and vanilla to the base of a scent, is no more than a cheap parlor trick. Amo steps forward, and says, "Do better!".

I don't know how something that smells like a frozen dessert smells so warm and cozy, but Amo Ferragamo does this. It smells just like a softly spiced orange creamsicle. There is a sweetness that is balanced by that soft spice and a fresh brightness. It is quite delicious and easy to wear at any time. It's very feminine and great for all ages. It smells youthful and fun. It's a very happy fragrance. I have worn this Amo Ferragamo in all seasons and it works well all year. It has enough strength and coziness to stand up to the winter cold. It stays bright and fresh in the summer heat. I notice a lot of similarity to LolitaLand. They share the creamsicle comparison but Amo is fresher and brighter while LolitaLand is a bit deeper and richer (that may be because my bottle has aged quite a bit though). I am happy to have both. I usually wear this on a casual day doing errands or going out for lunch. This is a fragrance with solid performance. It lasts most of a day for me 8-10 hours with just the right amount of projection to be noticed, but not overwhelm those around you. I think the bottle is pretty, but it does look a bit better from a distance. Up close it looks just a teeny bit cheap. But it suits the fragrance. It's fun, feminine and pretty. Not refined, serious and classy. It is often available at discounter sites for a very good price.

Amo Ferragamo is a classy, beautiful perfume made to be worn in the city day & night. It's mature, with great depth and seductive without being synthetic or cloying. I categorise this in the same genre as Mon Guerlain & MJ Decadence: Sexy modern wife perfume. Bring out your best suit ladies. Also the advert is misleading, because there's a Millennial model when the scent is definitely oriented towards older generations too! I friggin' ADORE the dreamy opening! The scent starts off with a fresh, uplifting orange liqueur with blackcurrants...but it's not candy sweet or alcoholic. NO rosemary in sight! 2 hours in and this delectable campari is still on my skin, however its blended beautifully with the mate, sambac and tart rhubarb. By this time the creamy, frothy vanilla has emerged as a strong background note. The sandalwood and ambroxan are rather faint but still keep the fragrance feminine on my skin. Amo Ferragamo is just STUNNING! VERDICT: An absolute WINNER in my book. WORTH all the HYPE. This is a heavy hitter, made for Winter and Fall. This is far too strong for summer and hot months. VERY sophisticated, I wouldn't call this 100% gourmand however it will definitely be adored by your husband/boyfriend...everyone actually!!

FINALLY a blind buy I’m not mad about! This is an effervescent Campari cocktail at the beginning. Fruity, tart and cheerful. In the mid-phase it leans more into a tart berry neroli phase and once it dries down the vanilla gains the spotlight, but on me this doesn’t get as vanilla strong as others describe. There is an aromatic herbal quality in the middle and late phase. Some pine needles/rosemary (which I love) are present towards the dry down. Even though this is technically gourmand it’s not syrupy or too sweet. The tartness and herbal quality give it a nice zing. It’s not overly synthetic either. I can see the similarity to Lolitaland (but I honestly hated Lolitaland). Another comparison that I’m familiar with is Armani Si Fiori. I’m impressed. This is nice. It’s easy and pleasant yet different enough from mainstream dreck that I know I’ll be wearing this in the coming months. Longevity is kind of moderate (about 4-5 hours) but it does become a skin scent after about 2 hours. I spray on clothes to lengthen the experience. PS: the rosemary note is reminding me of a long lost discontinued gem Dior Cologne Blanche which I miss so much. I actually really like this. Amo Ferragamo is a great scent.

This is a gorgeous scent and it gives me nostalgia of being around perfume counters. I can't even compare it to anything but it smells so familiar! People have mentioned this smells similar to Lolitaland but I wear that almost every day so I don't get that feeling. I get that there's an orange creamsicle scent that Lolitaland possibly has but Lolitaland is heavy on the vanilla and has an ivy scent that is more prominent than anything else besides a powder scent. This is vanilla too, but it's more sugary and also has a mintyness or mildly camphoraceous smell like those chalky valentine's candies with messages printed on them. For the price this is amazing and smells high quality. I got mine on Amazon for $36 and it's a big bottle too. I wish I could pin down what mainstream fragrance this smells like. Edit: Tried it out longer and the drydown is powdery. I still love this scent but some days I just can't tolerate powder scents because they start to smell dusty to me. It could also be that the fragrance chemicals are mixing with the detergent on my clothes. Still a very safe blind buy if you love cloyingly sweet fruity scents (like I do)

I'm going to write a better review of Amo after buying my own bottle,and yes,I will definitely buy a bottle ASAP.I Like it so much that everyday I find myself in a different perfume shop just to test it once more It's notes look so risky.actually vanilla is the only one among them that I really like.I imagined it to be a mix of sour fruits and herbal notes in a masculine,bitter base and I was so wrong It's very delicious!I want to eat my arm and can't get enough of it.on one hand it smells like a mainstream yummy scent of vanilla with a fruity undertone but on the other hand there's something unique and addictive in it. I have never tasted campari but I'm sure it has an important role here.when first sprayed,Amo is juicy,bubbly and orangey.more like some sort of drink or dessert made of orange.I won't talk about it's notes now.just that it settles down to a very smooth,warm and yummy scent with an addictive boozy undertone which is very comforting and reminds me dry down of Amouage sunshine,but even better It's a great scent and projects very well Great job ferragamo

This fragrance could be nominated "Best All-Around"! I liked it at hello and find it very easy to love and easy to wear. This is a safe blind buy (as long as you like vanilla, sweet, warm and fruity scents) and would make a nice gift. It's just happy and delicious, a simple pleasure to me. When the box arrived, I realized I had accidentally ordered two bottles and at first set one aside to return. Once I sampled it though, the second one became my first back-up bottle! One thing to add that may be helpful if you're considering it: this does have the Creamsicle / Dreamsicle effect. Another fragrance that has that is Lolitaland, and it's definitely similar (I added my vote to the "reminds-me-of" section) BUT Lolitaland I find way too cloying. If you're like me and can't wear that one, but like the idea, Amo Ferragamo is a great alternative! There is a peppy zing to Amo that lifts it out of the too-sweet zone - must be the Campari and rosemary. A fun and light-hearted, everyday mood-lifter!

WOW is all I want to say, but I will say more. Opens with a bit of a sugar bomb turned orange creamsicle which smells so enticing and delicious. Not overpowering, and the drifts into soft orange vanilla sandalwood like floating on an inflatable in a pool, in the sunshine with a cold drink. Got a bit florally after a couple hours which was nice but very different to the opening. Seems to take you on quite a journey and I think I would reapply at the floral stage. Found this so uplifting, want to wear it with a cute sundress or spray it in my scarf or shawl. I haven't tested this on any males yet but I could totally see them being a fan. This perfume has pretty girl energy this is one I would want to gatekeep. Smells so happy and elegant and easily a new favourite. 9/10 for smell but 8/10 for projection This pairs beautifully with a Alemais or puffy sleeve dress on a hot girl vacation.

A mix of tart and sweet, this sparkling juice is both refreshing and soothing, as anyone familiar with a good Campari can attest. I’m on my third bottle, testament that this perfume has earned a place on my repeat list. Dusting my clothes and hair with a perfect and unusual blend of notes, it is sweet but not saccharine, tinged with a bitter, unexpected and intriguing edge that distinguishes it from say a Pink Sugar or Midnight Fantasy (often described as quintessentially youthful, which is just lazy, because my grandmother, at age 86, smelled like sweet hay and sunshine and fresher than many nubile young bodies I have known and loved). What’s my point? This is sweet. And you should wear it. Even if you’re 40 like me. Because it’s delicious, and I’ll be damned if smelling delicious is something strictly reserved for teenagers.

This is very beautiful, sophisticated, soft and exquisitely blended to perfection, with a long lasting finish. Nothing jars on your senses, it's worthy of an award, it should win everything for 2018 it's that brilliant. You will escape into a cloud of soft puppies and kittens, lazing outside in the afternoon sun... a very faint salty sea breeze laps over you... whilst sipping a Campari and orange... it works really well in the full heat of Summer, it's 28 degrees c today and it loves the heat... it smells sooooooo good. This may sound totally crazy... but to me, it's like a distant cousin of Gucci Rush (which I adore in the Winter)... softly hypnotic and addictive... There's also a hint of Eclat d'Arpege in here too... there really is... only Amo is longer lasting... oooo what a fragrance!

This is very cozy. It reminds me of a fall evening when the leaves are nice and amber. The sun is setting and the air is a bit warm. There is a citrus note in it but its very creamy. You could definitely say it smells like an orange Creamsicle BUT its not cold at all. Its friendly, cozy, sweet and warm. I like to wear it to bed because it's not too overpowering if I spray it lightly. I dont like too much citrus in my fragrance but this is quite nice. It dries down to a nice vanilla amber scent. You could say this is a transition form summer to fall... maybe wearing it at the very beginning of October. This is another fragrance I would describe as being romantic. Great date night fragrance or just something to cozy up to that special someone :)

Omg this is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE SMELLS SPECIFICALLY LIKE AN ITALIAN BISCUIT OF SOME SORT WITH CREAM YUM! It's smells absolutely delicious I really want this perfume. The bottle is gorgeous. The fragrance just doesn't last long enough!!! Aaarrgggh! I'll wear this in the sweltering sun one day, maybe it will radiate more! I just think it's so beautifully yummy. I was worried it wouldn't smell good on my skin but it did smell great!yay! Very wedding day, date night, very signature but you are going to go through bottles and bottles and bottles because it fades, fades, fades. I was in the fragrance shop and I must have spritzed at least 10mls all over myself... faded within 2 1/2 hours ... booo! I'll still buy it though lol

I absolutely love the way this perfume smells, the notes work amazingly together and it is such a sexy, warm fragrance that is quite unique. I bought this after buying the Flowerful version of Amo at half off at a local department store sale; I instantly fell in love with it, it was different for me, much more floral than I was used to, but I adored it. However, it disappeared within an hour on my skin, but I put this down to Flowerful being an EDT. I bought the original Amo to replace it once Flowerful had finished and I was obsessed instantly, and because it's an EDP, I expected a long wear - I was wrong. This perfume completely disappears within 2-3 hours no matter how much I spray. So disappointed as I looove the way it smells.

I havent worn this in forever and I just happened to have worn lira yesterday. I put this on and i do a double take- wait what did i just spray on Lira or Amo? I should mention I have had this bottle for about a year and ive only worn it once before many many months ago, so its been macerating all this time. This is gorgeous and for the price I cant believe I've had a Lira dupe all this time. It doesnt have the deep spice that lira has but the vanilla and citruses are very very similar. I just sprayed them side by side and they are super similar like 85% percent similar. Which is great because Lira costs so much and doesnt project but last and this stuff projects a little better I might start mixing them.

Since I noticed that EDT or EDP don`t stick like they used to, I buy strictly body lotions of perfumes these times. Ferragamo`s body lotion here is great and lasts quite long and is very soft on my skin. It lasts longer than the perfume so now the lotion is empty and evtl. I will get another. The other I tried "Signorina ribelle", fantastic. My first Ferragamo was a good bargain. He could be a little more generous and sell us perfumes for a little less, but this is impossible with our super inflation in the world. He`s elegant above all and I love elegance so much. My niece got "Signorina elegante" for Christmas and I know she loved it. I also like his fashion style in clothes.

Amo Ferragamo is an easy reach for me. I find it pleasant to wear in just about any kind of weather and situation. I live in a hot, humid area, and I have never found it cloying or unacceptable. Top notes don’t last long, but seem to blend into the mid and base notes making them less sweet than they might have been. The dry down is sweet,vanillic, and powdery (surprised that isn’t listed higher in the accords), but never juvenile or innocent. The bottle is gorgeous and fairly heavy. It projects more than I realize because people always comment when I wear it. It’s crowd pleasing. Longevity is amazing! 10-12 hours on my skin and days on clothes.

That pure campari opening is really a thing of beauty, just like a perfectly mixed cocktail. As it begins to soften into the orange creamsicle stage, the heady sweetness of Amo emerges. At first, it seemed overly sweet to me, and a bit synthetic at first, but the vanilla is really a seductive one that makes you want to inhale deeply and slowly. My feelings towards it changed after a second wear. Amo Ferragamo is definitely a vanilla lover's paradise. I imagine it's like walking through a field of vanilla flowers at night- lush, indulgent, and intoxicating, except that the sillage is gentle and leaves you sniffing for more.

This is a great perfume! I would never consider if not for these great reviews, although I understand is not for everyone (not safe blind buy according to some reviews). For me is divine and unique sweet creamy citrus perfume and it is not easy to find this combination. The Campari note (like a red sweet orange) is unique and dominant. On me projection and longevity are excellent,I found it on my t shirt after one day guessing which great scent was about..I cannot still detect rhubarb, mate and rosemary, but overall I love it. The drydown is warm and cozy. And finally the bottle is elegant and simply beautiful! 4/5
