Ferragamo Bright Leather

This was a blind buy for me after reading many reviews and watching YouTube videos ... then I took the plunge. This is an awesome, UNIQUE scent ... 9/10! The only surprise to me was that I purposely avoid vanilla in certain fragrance profiles ... unless it's a gourmand. This does not list vanilla in the fragrance, but to me it has a subtle sweetness/powdery scent that my nose detects as being similar to vanilla. I pick up citrus in the opening ... especially a little of the mandarin orange but almost immediately being blended with that subtle, powdery sweetness. So basically it starts off as a bright, invigorating opening that is also slightly sweet. Then after about 10 minutes it gets more powdery and a hint of the subtle leather note comes out. It's full dry down (at least on me) becomes a sort of a creamy, powdery scent with a subtle, SMOOTH leather note that is mixed with musk and something else ... perhaps it's the patchouli. The combination creates a really great, unique scent profile. For me ... this is more of an evening fragrance ... from everyday functions or even for a special date night. It certainly could be worn during the day but the powdery part when mixed with the "white" leather and slight sweetness says otherwise to me. Also, it is a very calming fragrance. Sometimes I give it a few sprays at night in my bedroom just to help create a nice, pleasant and relaxing environment. This will be the only fragrance like this in my collection of 78+ favorite fragrances as it is pretty unique. The only downside as many have mentioned is it lasts only around 4-5 hours and the projection is about 2-3 ft during it's maximum effectiveness. This is an extremely unique and stunning fragrance profile ... it definitely could be a 9+ in your collection. Enjoy!!!

Wow, this is phenomenal. I blind bought this when I saw it at Marshalls, didn't even look anything up about it, but Ferragamo has some amazing fragrances so I figured why not. I was not disappointed at all. Because of that mandarin citrus, the opening really reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme Sport EDT. After about an hour when the fragrances dries down that leather comes out more. But its not like a dark leather jacket smell, it really is like the seats of a sports car, that new leather seat smell. It is really strange at first but it grew on me quickly and it is an addictive scent. It is like smelling gasoline if that makes any sense. A new car smell is also an addictive smell, in my opinion. It also reminded me of a new golf bag or golfing gloves. That is really what ties this fragrance together well. I do smell the bergamot also, just a lot of citrus but what makes this fragrance stand out so much is that intense leather. This is going to be a banger for summer, I just wore it the other day and it is the Fall right now, so I will have to test how well it will do on a hot summer day, but it seems promising to me. I got at least 7 hours out of it, so good longevity. This is a complex and interesting scent, especially for the summer, the leather makes it a lot more masculine than other blue freshie frags. I think I will be reaching for this a lot during the spring and summer. It makes you smell refined and older. It could be pulled off by the younger crowd if you dress the part as well. I think it smells wealthy and confident, has a very snazzy fragrance, and is best paired with a golf polo and loafers. For the price, I think it is a really good value.

We all including myself, have a detency to compare fragrance or find something similar to be able to judge the fragrance. 1st off, I personally enjoy several of Ferragamo products including this one now. The price are still within a reasonable range for what you're getting. I enjoy all the Fahrenheit fragrance except the Aqua version. I barely used it, I gave it away. That's why I don't want to compare fragrance. I wouldn't have bought this fragrance. When I 1st spray this juice, the vib leather comes through with a soapy/herbal bit from the rosemary and a hint of basil. After a good 15min, it quickly settles, the herbal base isn't as sharp. The leather also isn't as prevalent. I start to notice a sweetness coming the musk making the leather aroma more softer. I don't know if it's my nose meter or my mind playing with my mind. I do pick up a slight petroleum. That must be from the combo of leather, herbs and musk all coming together. Longevity and Sillage is okay. I wish that Longevity could be at least 5yrs vs. 2hrs. Overall, at 1st I wasn't overly impressed. I thought it through understanding that this juice is not meant to make a bold statement when you wear it. After several tries, I felt that it worth giving it a try.....7/10 Try to keep an open mind, our bodies react to fragrance due to what we eat.

This fragrance takes leather into a fresh, airy category, rather than the usual dark, richness it tends to get associated with. It reminds me of Ferrari's Bright Neroli scent, but less sweet, and focuses more on musk and basil. It also somewhat reminds me of JPG Le Beau, with its citrus opening, and transition to a creamy sweet & woody drydown. It has that sunscreen vibe about it too. Bright Leather stands apart as the fresh and airy entry in this Ferragamo line. I'm getting moderate performance and sillage. It's easily wearable in a casual setting, and is pulling in a different direction than most contemporary scents. Ferragamo seems to be trying to build this line into versatile offerings to span the seasons, with leather as the common thread. I have worn this in moderate heat, and some above-room-temperature settings. Heat makes Bright Leather project slightly more, but nothing here is offensive or overwhelming. This is blind buy safe, but I would caution leather fans, actually. This isn't the same leather note you may be looking for, and love in other fragrances. I have no reservations recommending Bright Leather as a warm weather scent, for someone who wants to be a little different, but not make a statement about it.

This line can't fail, every single fragrance from the leather line has been a real pleasant surprise. This is a familiar profile, but done in a way that "brightens" it up that it could be worn in the warmer months. The leather in this is very light but prominent throughout the fragrance, but the star of the show is definitely the violet leaf. I own spicy, red, intense, and now bright and they are all different in their own way and showcasing leather differently. Bright is in the same family as Fahrenheit and Bentley black edition, but softer, slightly sweeter and more warmer weather focused. If you like those fragrances and want something you can wear in spring and summer (afternoons and nights) this is a good pick up. Looks like I'll be picking up sublime leather as well which is their newest release and I feel safe enough to buy it blindly because this line hasn't failed once. For the price point, the quality you are getting is insane. All under 50 bucks for 100 ml at discounters, it's a great deal. Definitely a love from me and a thumbs up to this brand which is superior to middle priced brands like Mercedes and Bentley that get a lot more attention.
