Ferragamo Red Leather

great story with this once i was in store looking for my first fragrance and one of employee showing me some choices but in my head there was only one choice in my mind to purchase an jpg fragrance (which ive purchased in future for winters) he was saying thisone is great he give me to smell it i liked it no biasness but i have a mood to purchase jpg but howsoever he convinced me to buy salvatore ferragammo ive purchased it and sprayed it for the regular days i swear it dosent perform 2-4 hrs opening was very fresh uplifting but then become some soft sandalwood and a bit leathery scent ive to keep the decant with it , from then i had an proper argument with the employee that what the fuck he has given me i needed something good and then on 3-4 times i have the same argument fom months but after i got matured and understanding fragraances i have a thing that longlastingness is not everytime the buy i understand its beautiful uplifting smell it just works to keep feeling fresh it always give a whiff i set it for maturation for 5 months and its now more gingery than citrusy which is in my opinion more good the middle of jasmine lingers around giving cool vibes and at the end after 7-8 hrs it has a prominent leather which is more dark then the previous openings and then everything changed i like this and then purchased another 2 bottles before the price hike from him.

Smells fantastic. Really, really does. But why why why why does it have to be such a poor performer? It is in the same realm as bright leather performance-wise. I wish they could have at least gotten intense leather longevity and sillage out of it (which, if i'm being honest, still isn't great). But wow. One of my fav Ferragamo offerings, save for the abysmal performance. Aromatic, smooth leather with some spices. But man...these are all overall disappointing in the performance categories. Update5/6/24: Maybe I was a bit too quick to judge the performance? Seems as though my bottle has gotten slightly better since the first couple wearings. Not dramatically so, but noticeably so. And I think that ther might be some noseblindness thrown into the mix as well, as I've gotten positive attention after the fragrance had disappeared to me.

Tested it at Sephora because I have all in this line except this and it wasn't out to Blind buy at discounters yet. I don't think it's worth retail price. It's abit synthetic and is spicy fresh with suede leather and orris/iris which gives it abit of light powdery effect. Nothing red or bold leather. Update 26/2/25 I bought a tester which wasn't expensive to add to my collection for this line. Gave it a proper wear instead of a rest spray on 25/8/24. It opens aromatic citrus spicy with iris and leather. I thought it smells better than the test last year. Slight powdery. Nothing too special or unique but it's not too bad, designer styled dna.

#1509 in my "Tour de Fragrance" If you were a fan of the 2003 classic Gucci "Pour Homme" (How could any man not be?), you'll love this. Very similar vibe, though not as floral. Definitely signature scent worthy. Long-lasting, good projection, versatile, not offensive if not over-sprayed, inexpensive. Kind of comes off like Earl Grey tea and leather. Classic scent for a formal business office, but would work as casual or date wear for mature guys past their clubbing days. A successful blind buy for me.

Nose Note #441 So far I've immensely enjoyed the whole Ferragamo collection, all 5 fragrances are great. This one is a tea-like scent, but not Imagination or Rochas Moustache or EA Green Tea way. It's confidently masculine, lasts just enough and is very easy to like and to wear. It can fit any season. It has some complexity, but not much. Citrus with soft aromatic and spicy touches. Not about leather. It's leather in vein of My Land and CH Men. 9/10, just great
