F by Ferragamo Pour Homme

UPDATE: To add to my earlier comments, I find Ferragamo Pour Homme more to my liking over the Black in my opinion. What attracts me to this cologne more is the woodsy/amber scents over the sweet scent in the Black. Very Sexy ;))))) I'm not suggesting that the Black is no good, I personally prefer the first Ferragamo Pour Homme instead of a spin off. The two main different notes between the two is the floral and Tonka Beans in the Black over the leather and amber scent in the original version. I like the warm spicy aroma with appeal of leather without a doubt which gives this fragrance a real masculine base. When I tried the Black in the store, I felt like I was almost buying the same perfume with very subtle differences. Overall, I like a men's cologne to have some depth and come across as being distinct. Ferragamo Pour Homme is just that Longevity is excellent well past 7 hour's and sillage is very good. To sum it up, I asked several women which they prefer, two of the three preferred the original because they like the deep notes in men's colognes and not sweet notes.

I think this fragrance smells great. Something about it is addictive and smooth. It leans more towards a synthetic smell but it isn't harsh. Its a smooth and masculine fresh fragrance with a little spicy twinge. The lavender is the main component where everything else is blended around it. I really like the scent. It has a little bit of a soapy fresh quality about it too.. Performance seems pretty good thus far, but I am only testing from a sample sprayer. From what I can tell the performance seems above average. I think this is an underrated fragrance. I like the smell of this one better than dior sauvage.. Masculine, fresh, spicy, slightly soapy, versatile, smooth. It is in the same genre or ball park as allure homme type smell but not as rugged.. Somewhere in between allure sport and allure homme. EDIT: you can get sick of the smell though if you use it too much or too many sprays.. Just be easy on the trigger.. It can get a little synthetic. still like it tho! Scent 4.5/5 Performance 4/5

Ten years I've been wearing this frag and always someone compliments and ask what it is... EVERY TIME! It's very seductive to other people, men and women. Convenience store cashier asked me if I didn't mind telling him what cologne I had on because he never smelled it before. Going into the grocery store a womans came in behind followed me then said, I didn't want to bother you but what is that scent you have on it smells so good. She wanted to get it for her husband. For me it's something I use for running errands or just to have on a scent. That apple comes out to dance and I'm off and people are sniffing. I don't wear it with the respect it deserves, but it gives me the respect I deserve for choosing to wear it. You can blind buy this and you'll be pleased with the choice. I get 4-5 hours I can detect it, but people can still smell the sillage 6-7 hours after I put it on.

Unfortunately Salavatore Ferragamo's men's line was rather average until the Tuscan Scent line came out. . This is probably his top scent along with Uomo, Leather Rose, and Golden Acacia. I feel Aqua essenziale is prob top 5 for him. Subtil, attimo, free time, F black, Salvatore Ferragamo and essenziale blu are all average to below average. I do like this scent, it's a good daily wear. Not sure why reviewers are comparing this to Allure, i'm hoping you realize how many different allure's their actually are if you're comparing this to any of them??? I'd like to think this is a good scent: 7./10. This is one of the better Salvatore Ferragamo men's fragrances. It's versatile enough for work, night out, or wedding, prob won't make your top 10, but definitely can stay in your rotation if you have a larger collection.

Absolute sleeper. Inexpensive, smells great, won't offend anyone. Not that I care if I do, but honestly it's not fun to be the butt-end of comments that are negatively aimed at a fragrance or the wearer regardless of the reason. This is actually what I would consider similar in structure to allure homme, but 'lighter'...not in performance, necessarily, but in presence. I enjoy high-end niche just as much as the next guy. But every once in a while, you want to wear something that is just...easy. This is that. Not boring, but not challenging either. I have and wear F Black as well from time to time...but I prefer that in cooler weather. This is more Spring/Summer, but could be an all-year proposition really. (low key i'm a bit shocked at how much this reminds me of Allure Homme.....)

This one surprised me quite a bit. I was interested in it to begin with, but it ended up being different than what I was expecting, but in a good way. I really like this scent overall. I would describe it as being sort of a mix between Platinum Egoiste and Sauvage. It's slightly soapy and also has a little bit of warmth (coming from the pepper). It's slightly old fashioned, but with a nice modern spin. It's also one of the most versatile scents I've ever had! Definitely leans fresh, but there's enough spice in there that it can be used year-round. Performance is really good, both in longevity and sillage. I will say that the bottle looks much better in photos than it does in real life. I was a little surprised at how cheap it seemed when I got it.

I love this perfume. the apple and pepper notes in accord with the lavender and labdanum creates something that is fresh but very soothing at the same time. I love pepper as a note and it is put to very good use here. F has good sillage and excellent longevity, easily 8 hours plus on me and is versatile enough to suit just about any occasion except maybe ultra formal ones,(I wouldnt wear this to a funeral!) 8.5/10. love it. Edit- I was at an outdoor concert the other day with my family and one of my Mum's older friends actually leaned in to smell me closer and said I smelled gorgeous. This one just went up another notch in my estimation!

I also get some similarities with Terre d'Hermes, think of that scent, but with the apple instead of the orange. It's a soft and smooth fragrance, I really pick up a lot of apple and some leather, the lavander it's there but like an aftertaste, in the beginning, then it becomes a bit more present. It's clean, sweet and a bit aromatic, perfect for the office or closed environments where you don't need to be noticed, since the sillage is really minimal. I find it even a bit sexy, because of the lavander and the apple Not my cup of tea, but the more I smell it, the more I like it.

This fragrance smells divine. Smells extremely fresh, and when I first tried it I thought wow, this smells really nice. I do find sillage and staying power very good. I do not find it similar to the fragrances other people here refer to. The fragrance this reminds me of is Sauvage, although they are not exactly the same, but to me they have a lot in common, the same type of artificial freshness, although I find F much fresher and cleaner, and I like it much better. It is fruitier than Sauvage, Sauvage smells a lot of anise. Overall, I find F a marvelous fragrance..

Olivier Polge has an illustrious history, talk about knowing your trade. To my nose this one is a classic. If this were put in a Chanel bottle, people would fall over it. There is some serious quality going on here, I agree with those that spot the similarities to Terre D'Hermes, although I see more Vetiver there, and more lavender here, but definitely along those lines. It is very masculine, very sexy, very fresh, a fragrance for someone confident. I would more then happily wear this to a formal occasion, very easy to wear, the lavender is gorgeous. A winner.

I think it smells very fresh and crisp. Most definitely for the day time in my opinion. It has a very uplifting scent. I don't think you can go wrong with this one. It's very unoffending. I do go noise blind to it after about an hour but I have compliments 4-5 hour after applying the first time. It could be formal day time occasion, office, or just going to the store scent, so the versatility is pretty great. You could blind buy this and not go wrong, just think a sour apple with a pinch of black pepper to give it some depth. 7.5/10

I dont think this is fruity nor shampoo-ey as some have described. Only the apple gives it a bright sweet fresh smell which makes this very unique thats the closest to fruity it gets. But the fragrance becomes a very clean masculine scent with its leather and woody notes. A very strong projection due to its pepper, Even metrosexual for its soft and unique take and with lavender & Labdanum giving it its luxury and soft touch. But shampooey and fruity? No, people just dont have good noses if you get that out of this masterpiece.

This has to be one of the most underrated and under the radar fragrance ever. Not only do i think its better than F black but i find this one to be very high quality specially for the $30 i paid for it. Smells better than a lot of my higher end frags. Performs better and debatably smells better than Aventus and im not exaggerating. Btw i haven’t been impressed with Aventus since 2015. I love this 10/10 up to 2019 batches are still acceptable! Also i get very much mont blanc starwalker vibes but way way better.

It opens like Lipton Ice Tea with peach flavor and dies down to a well known shampoo smell (probably Panthene). Also it has some "detergenty" accord at the background which gives it a watery aspect. This is one of the best lavender scents out there (at least the old formulation which I have). The silage in the air is like you just took a shower with luxurious lavender soap. IMHO this is better than the Black flanker.

New to me. After starting collecting again decided to grab some essential cheapies and I am not disappointed. A very green freshie to me. Love how the lav and the apple fight it out in the opening, not too in your face but if you take a moment to enjoy it you can see them duking it out :) I prefer this over F black, also. Nothing against Fblack but this is much brighter and appealing IMO.

This one is clean and perfect for semi-formal and casual business events, not offensive for the office and all those working scenarios where you don't want to present yourself like a clown! Very clean, fresh, masculine and not in your face fragrance! For this price you can make it your office environment fragrance by keeping the professional character and charisma!

Just got this one, and I love it. Think F Black minus the peppery vibe, and more of a floral scent on the dry down. It's not as masculine or loud as F Black; it's softer and still has that Ferragamo quality/longevity to it. An exceptional value considering the price, Ferragamo F Pour Homme is an underrated fragrance.

updated review since the last one was horrible: The fragrance opens with a crisp apple note and pepper giving a sparkly fruity smell as it dries down the lavender becomes more noticeable. One of the most inoffensive scents you can buy spray it as much as you want. Love its simplicity and how natural it smells.

Are you kidding me? This is a fantastic spring/summer/fall sent. It's a real gem and mass appealing fragrance. 22€ for 100ml? Come on man it's not easy to find so good freshie at this price point. Compliment magnet from the first time i wore it. Average performance but good sillage. Criminally underated

This one took me several sprays, then I got hooked. Bought this on accident instead of F Black. I am so happy I did! When I am in a rush, or do not want to overpower anyone, or just do not feel good that day, I use this. It is very clean and fresh feeling, with a hint of pepper to add a leathery feel.

F is a very suitable name for this scent as the result of the scent is just that. it is completely a "get laid" cologne. be cautious hen wearing it out at night as it may cause extreme attention from the opposite sex. also be careful where you spray it on you, pulse points, minus the down-low ones...

@Opaulino22: I'm impressed with your review and yes... I am also a big fan of this F by Ferragamo EDT This smells great, very unique, always in my top 10, a solid release by Ferragamo and good news it is still in production I always have one for backup Much better than many Niche ones

Such an underrated fragrance, whenever I get complimented on it and asked what I'm wearing, people are always scoobied when I tell them f by ferragamo. A very unique smelling scent that nothing else in my collection resembles, has great projection and lasts a long time. 8/10

@onesix: totally agree.. and it is also the best p/p I ran into this stuff dangerously in the mall while the clerk gave it to me in 2009 LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF and it became my signature right after unique, youthful, very versatile it is still in my top 10 for now 2024

This has great staying power on me. I get the sharp burst of fresh cut apple then I love how it mellows out to the leather, amber and flowery smell but not in a feminine way at all. I can't smell any simularities to Terre D'Hermes at all.

the new formulations are much weaker than before, but the OG one was one of the best perfumes of all time. spice, lavender, pepper. such a unique smell and the most complimented perfume ever.

I prefer this one over f black just because of being fan of dirty vibes in fragrances... I like the amber note that makes this fragrance incensey like the incense in Acqua Di Gio Profumo

The wood and pepper and leather is what makes this fragrance sexy and masculine. The green apple is what makes it pop and sweet and overall unique

it smells great, it had complitelly got my attemtion. i can't say it is a long lasting at least on me, but it is very nice. I love it

hidden gem always in my collection the day Salvatore discontinued this will be my nightmare very beautiful fragrance

I am Falling in Love With Salvatore Ferragamo !!! It's Fantastic Scent !!!!

Simple and elegant. I love the pepper note. Longevity is very good on me.

solid and I mean SOLID frag!! i am going to gatekeep this one. shhh!

Excellent, slowly becoming my signature for warmer weather

Nice but so similar to F Black I question its existence

For years, I’ve heard and read several compliments on this cologne. But just now, about 8 years after its launch (2007), I decided to carry out the appropriate tests in order to write and publish my review. This fragrance was created by Olivier Polge and has, in its composition, notes of lavender and Apple, in the output; black pepper from Madagascar, in the heart; labdanum, at the base. However, it is not difficult to find other pages mentioning the presence of amber, tonka beans and leather, also at the base. Perhaps, such information is linked with the reformulation that occurred after 2010, whose bottle brings the letters in silver, instead of red (the original, which I tested). It is considered an oriental-Woody fragrance, but to me is oriental-fruity, since the Apple note is very strong in the output. The lavender is more neutral, but you can perceive it balancing the initial fruity tone. For some minutes, when the central part of the fragrance emerges and develops, the pepper is very good, indeed. However, during this stage, I found the fragrance very common and a bit synthetic. And I think that great part of the compliments comes from there, since it's already proved that most people prefer basic and common scents, rather than fragrances that are extremely elaborated and full of strong notes, like those of Arabian origin, for example. And that's not bad, it's just a matter of choice and taste. Returning to the subject, I liked better when the evolution arrived at the base, reaching the ambery nuances of labdanum, giving a slight creaminess to the final result. It projected and lasted very well on my skin and proved to be a versatile scent. I think it’s an excellent choice for professional environments. Worth knowing.

Perfect office fragrance! Fresh in an elegant way with the lovely green apple note, that smells almost citrusy/grapefruity. Interesting enough to get compliments (pepper and then labdanum), calm and clean enough not to bother sensible coworkers (lavender). I really really enjoy the scent, it gives me a calm confident vibe. F pour homme doesn't evolve drastically and it last easily through the work day with decent projection. It will work for any season and occasion. Very versatile + cheap = perfect workhorse. Edit after wearing it daily for more than a week: It's lasting through the 8 hours workday projecting gently for almost 2 hours and then becoming more intimate, depending on how much you spray (I do max 5 sprays, 1x back/sides of the neck and 1x each wrist). Bonus moments when I wash my hands with this on my wrists, it always comes back alive. Not being an overbearing scent I could see myself doubling-overspraying this if I really needed to get better performance for long work events or colder winter nights. Perfect for the mid seasons and good all year-round in my opinion, (where I live winter is mild,rarely below 5 C°, maybe it won't shine in areas with snowy winters). Good for both causal and formal events, especially the ones where you don't want or need to be the main character. Scent: 7.5 Performance: 6.5 Price/value: 9.5 Overall: 7.8

Lavender-ish Amber-y scent reminiscent of Allure. Another in my collection this is in the vein of, Perry Ellis M. In my collection I kind of have the strong sweets like Le Male, and Eros that sort of scream sexuality for places like clubs etc. They have mad projection. Allure, Perry Ellis M, and F by Ferragamo are something more subtle. Not screamingly gourmand, or sweet powerhouses, but it's there. You aren't quite edible and won't stand out in a crowd, but if anyone is in your vicinity at the office, they'll pick up your sexiness. It's just not sexiness in your face, it's subtle enough for work, or professional settings. So, its about as sexy as you want to get for settings and situations that are not typically sexual. That's the appropriate time for this scent. This, Allure, Perry Ellis M, are all equal in my eyes. Frankly, I probably prefer the F. Gotta appreciate the creator of this fragrance and his nose. If it were done by Chanel or Dior it would be classic. Ferragamo should be recognized in that class. Again, see the nose's behind this F and Acqua Essenziale line. There is no better pedigree. Top notch stuff.

F is for...?. Olivier Polge (whose compositions I always highly anticipate) levitates a promising leather and apple accord -on top an ozonic cloud of pepper. But the result is unremarkable, albeit agreeable. I kept hoping for a more assertive "combo" to come along and save this fragrance from Pleasantville. But alas, the all too synthetic leather (or rather “pleather” note), misplaced in the "base" of the note pyramid, never showed up much in the sillage of this fragrance. Nor anywhere else beyond my subconscious. Which leaves this fragrance defenseless in the "Ring" -against similarly styled (office friendly House signatures); like the superior YSL L'homme, Guerlain's mojito-inspired "Homme", or heck, even "Bvlgari Man" ! Good luck, "F". As the Men's fragrance market closes in on you... That "F" may take on a Whole... New... Meaning... (LOL). Longevity: 8/10 (in base) Projection (Summer temperatures): 7/10 (more detectable to others than myself) Art/Creatives: 7/10 (bottle, concept, and scent) How: Spring and Summer, day, business, office, everyday, casual social, a great work horse fragrance.

Salvatore Ferragamo F by Ferragamo Pour Homme is very much a Dior Sauvage prototype like David Beckham Homme. Except that it subtracts the main bergamot and anbroxan notes. Instead, you get a scent that leads to its F Black flanker with an apple shampoo. I find it also has similarities to L'Homme too though like Sauvage it is apple based versus citrus. F by Ferragamo Pour Homme is very much barbershop. It smells like maybe a Great Clips or a Supercuts, a unisex modern barbershop. That said the main knock I have is performance. It smells on the lighter side and I get five hours out of it. It's good in an office setting or casual wear but that's it. Maybe a summer formal day scent but that's pushing it. Overall I have to give F by Ferragamo Pour Homme a like and a 7.4 out of 10. It's a nice spring summer lighter day scent but that's it.

A somewhat generic mass appealing men's fragrance. F has that 90s/early 00s fresh spicy accord with a touch of lavender, almost deodorant or soap like. Definitely a hygiene product vibe. Could have seen this being commonplace alongside Hugo Boss and Fierce back in the day for high school guys. Doesn't last long or project well but it's under $15 so not a big issue. I bought this more out of curiosity and it being cheap with no reservations about it being anything other than a random wear here or there. I have my favorite fragrances and then the ones like this that are just for kicks. I'd say it's worth giving a try considering how cheap it is and the fact it's not that bad for what it is.

so i am a WOMAN and i wear this perfume, though it is so masculine ! as to my surprise everybody says this perfume fits me very well ! and nobody guesses that it is actually a totally masculine scent. to the notes: f is very spicy, though the fresh green apple gives this composition this kick of freshness which i love ! the lasting power is amazingly long ! even after showering i still feel this beautiful scent ! this perfume reminds me of freshness and cleanliness ! and as i say, everybody just falls in love with it ! it is very catchy and i dont wear it everyday, only to special events because for me it is quite POSH !!!! :) enjoy !

F Black is a love, but this is a like for me. A strong like, but not quite a love. Actually, on my skin it's very similar to F Black, but a bit fresher and more informal/sporty. Also, if I smell it close up on my skin, I get a note that's a bit off putting. Smells like caraway seed or something. But if I back off, the scent bubble away from the skin is very nice. A bit fruitier than F Black, whereas F Black is more powdery, spicy, and sophisticated. Both are great, but I prefer the Black version a bit more. This is a nice way to enjoy the same DNA in warmer weather, as F Black is a bit heavy for that. Nice. 7/10

This one was totally a nice surprise for me: starts like a classic masculine smell, with a lovely bitter-fruity-sweet combination of aromatic (lot of lavender and green apple), spicy (cardamom) & sweet notes (labdanum), that wakes you instantly and set you ready to go out for the day. On the way to dry down it feels just a bit like YSL BK and some of the serious aura of Terre d'Hermes but overall this is much fresher (apple) & herbal (lavender), sitting on a wonderful long-lasting base that is musky-leathery-bitter/sweet (if it's make any sense). One of my nice blind buy frags. My rank 7.7/10. ☣☣☣

Picked this up as a blind buy for $20. I sprayed it once and was torn. At first, I got old man vibes. Then, I would get a whiff of the lavender that just hit right. I didn't think I would ever use it but I tried again today and I have to say, it's really grown on me. I see a lot of people like this for warm weather but I like this as a cool weather scent, and is perfect for the office or a professional setting. People say it's extremely close to F by Farragamo Black. If Black smells anything like LNDL like everyone says, I don't see how F Pour Homme could smell similar to Black.

Clean, soapy, slightly spicy. The drydown is where this frag shines for me. You just feel clean and fresh, very pleasant and soft scent. I feel it does need some high heat to perform though, so you can spray this deliberately and people won't choke on this. Inoffensive and a compliment puller, this makes you feel you just stepped out of the shower throughout the day. Longevity is not that great, but considering the profile scent i didn't expect this to be a beast mode frag anyway. I'm enjoying this one for sure.

Really good surprise. It's a very balanced fragrance, elegant, masculine, very versatile, not outdated at all. All the hype goes to F Black (mainly because of Jeremy), never smelled it, but this is a very good offer. It's a complex fragrance. It's fresh from the lavender and the apple, but in the drydown it stays fresh spicy but also creamy, a little bit soapy and on the other hand masculine peppery. For 20€ it's a very safe option for all year round, in fact signature scent worthy.

I haven't worn F Black in a while, but when I sprayed this on, I was immediately reminded of it. This one feels a little lighter, and I swear there's ginger in it even though it's not mentioned in the notes. Like the guy below me mentioned, this one is more appropriate for warm weather than F Black, but I think you could just buy one of the two since they're very similar. Year-round, office-safe frag on the cheap.

Opens up with a clean apple and lavender. Like clean linen in a resort hotel. Reminds me a bit of prada lhomme. PL smells like a 5 star hotel while this smells like a 4 star hotel....XD Still gorgeous for the price doe. Somehow, I solely wear this to sleep. So calming and relaxing. Dry down is more woody doe, it gets darker and more intense for sure. Projection and longevity is good for me. 4-5hrs solid. Cheers
