Ferre eau de parfume Gianfranco Ferre for women

Стилен,изискан,излъчващ премерена елегантност.Не просто цветен.Аурата му е прелестна!!!Всяка жена е дама с него!

نمیدونم حسم درسته یا نه ولی به نظرم بویه بلو لیدی میده.یا اون بویه اینو میده

Two years ago I came into Ferre Rose which I found a lovely scent then but I thought it was way too floral for me because the great amount of freesia it contained.
Today I gave Ferre a try and I was surprised because I was sure it would be too old-lady-like as the liquid inside had a very sultry dark colour. No, Ferre is floral and somehow manages to be fresh and warm at the same time.
The warm floral scent reminds me of how my mother smelt like when I was a child. Probably that's why I find this fragrance to be romantic and cosy. I am addicted to dark, complex winter scents, orientals and woodies but this time I would like to own a perfume like Ferre to ooze a gently feminine sillage.

Staying power was really bad on this one. I was really disappointed by this!

I had it and soon I became really disappointed with it. At the time I was wearing, I was riding to work with my neighbor who used to wear Prada - and this poor scent was literally chocked to death by that woman's fragrance, regardless of how much I was pouring on myself. It was rendered IRRELEVANT, COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS, INEXISTENT. I never got any compliments wearing it and I ended up feeling like I was not even wearing anything. "Close to skin" and "discreet" is one thing; but completely lifeless is another. I am a brunette with dry skin so it could be that my body chemistry needs much stronger perfumes. It might work on a Scandinavian nymph or something ethereal like that...I don't know. In time, I discovered that unless I join with serious attention-getters like Samsara, no one will notice a thing. Those with dry/fragrance-eating skin or a heavier body chemistry should stay away from this anorexic scent.

I adore it! Elegant, feminine and easy to wear! Blends very well with my body chemistry. I love most Ferre scents (as well as his clothes too). Suitable for everyday wear and for all ages, IMHO, a 'happy' and uplifting scent.
Only disadvantage: it doesn't last very long.
Reminds me of Il Bacio by Borgese which I adore too, Il bacio is more sparkling and watery and a little more intensive and more feminine (slightly provocative), this one is fresher.
Ah!Italian perfumes!

This perfume is very elegant and suitable for day wearing.Better for mature women.

Smelling Ferré is like visualizing imaginary pale purple ribbons trailing from your wrists as you carry this scent into the world. It finds the common angle of iris, woods, berries, aldehydes, musks. It shows a textbook evolution with the tight yet extravagant range of its topnotes moving to a compressed woody-floral drydown with a surprising resemblance of construction, if not scent, to the drydown of Patou's 1000. Throughout the evolution from top to base, Ferré continues to suggest its purple hue, but because of its tight focus feels like a stripe rather than a large swath of color.

For those who love the pretty-boy aspect of Dior Homme, Ferré is one assured step further in that direction.

I was dismayed by the difference between the creamy cloud of delicious flowers I smell from my miniature of this and the screechy floral mess I smell from the full sized bottle that I purchased based on my enjoyment of the miniature. I went back to confirm that they are the same thinking maybe this big bottle is an edt, as edt tends to be less creamy and delicious and more sharp cold and high pitched. Well, it turns out that the difference is not the concentration but the formulation i.e. this has been reformulated (ruined)!I have confirmed this by finally acquiring some full sized older stock which still smells lovely as did the miniature. The newer juice is also different color- straw vs honey/amber in color.

This scent is a sophisticated fruity floral, which is a good thing as it is wearable for any occasion. I agree with Kastehelmi below, that no notes stick out enough for a 'fix', especially of Iris. Somehow the scent is slightly sharper than I wanted as I expected the iris to lend it more powder. It's a very sheer and feminine scent which stays close to the skin. I will wear and keep this 'fume but I would have liked the initial sweetness to stick around longer, and for it to be more 'opaque' as an EDP. Beautiful bottle!
The drydown 5 hours later is still noticeable and is really soft and beautiful.

sophisticated,classic, beatiful and long lasting. Makes me feel very feminine and sexy. absolute top 1 for me. Pitty they stopped with it.. and I just cant find it anuwhere anymore... :(

Not for me! It ended up as an air freshener in the bathroom.

Ugh, the melon always comes out so aquatic on me, and this is no exception (curse my chemistry!). Other than that unpleasantry, this is a very subtle, subdued, but not particularly refined scent - just a quiet, watered-down, non-desrcript fruity floral (doesn't feel like an EDP at all). It's missing the richness & powder to be refined, and the complexity & originality to be classic. A good office scent that won't offend and will allow you to blend in with the crowd.

A wonderful scent - both for day and night/party. Soft, warm, a bit sexy and very feminine I think. A scent that lasts for many hours.

Hi.

FERRE EDP is a crisp floral fragrance meant to express the emotion of Love at first sight.Absolutely Beautiful.It is
surprising femininity with a hint of Glamor.A Flowery example like the way the air smells after a spring rain. Romantic,Classy,Ladylike,Chic,Lovely, Generous,Subtle and Sensational.

Melon and Pineapple blends together and combined with a hint of opulent Iris and the lingering touch of sheer Musk and Vanilla as It has a nice finish on my skin not too powdery not too overwhelming but also quite Sweet and Lovely.You feel Sophisticated and Regal with this smell.

This Sophisticated Floral is one of those fragrances that truly makes you aware of your femininity. A great scent for any occasion especially ROMANTIC moments as makes your Lover who wants hold you with himself and enjoy you Sense.It is also a wedding scent.The shape of the bottle is Elegant.I would recommend this EDP to a Lady (25/35 years old)who wants to feel Elegant Ladylike and Romantic.

Sillage?Lovely.

Longevity?Good on my skin.

7/10

Now that I've tried both of Pierre Bourdon's iris-focused perfumes, I'm finding that FERRE edp is at once more complicated and casual than the composition he created for Frederic Malle, IRIS POUDRE. That might sound like a contradiction, but it is not.

FERRE edp conveys a type of glamour that is somehow informal and seemingly effortless, like a pair of small gold earrings put in as an afterthought while running out the door, or an unstructured, monochrome silk shawl with no tassels thrown over one's shoulders upon learning that it's cold outside and without caring whether it will look good.

What makes this perfume less formal than IRIS POUDRE is the fruit, which makes FERRE less rigid and more relaxed. Added to that, IRIS POUDRE includes a hefty dose of aldehydes. But I like each of these two Boudoir creations in its own way. I agree with celina that these are fraternal twins: similar in some ways, yet with distinct personalities and mannerisms.

I don't often like complicated fruit compositions, but FERRE offers simplicity through complexity. The fruit notes do not degrade through the development, nor do they overtake the flowers, both of which are tendencies that I find problematic in fruit-rich perfumes. The more I wear FERRE edp, the more I like it, so this will definitely become a full-bottle relationship soon!

Merci Pierre!

It is very nice, floral and ....classy. I like very much.

Ferre is very classy and sheer scent..
It is very sheer beautiful scent with light aldehydes that give misty quality…
It is floral perfume that starts from fruits – very suitable and elegant – not just any fruit salad, it feels like fruits make iris feel suitable and light not metallic note .. but then after several minutes it starts to settle for warm, little sweet and rich floral… but so delicate and elegant that you just have transparent aroma around yourself – iris aroma with some other flowers but iris is the main aroma. I just cannot stop sniffing my wrist!
I would say it is like… Fidji of XXI century…
Distinctive bottle, beautiful shiny perfume…

Lots of perfume critics compare it to Iris Poudre by F.Malle, that it is much more wearable and very similar smelling. L.Turin gave 4 starts to Ferre and 3 stars for Iris Poudre stating that Ferre is new Iris Poudre – more polished by Bourdon.

This fragrance is so beautiful, I watch it like a painting.

This is very good. Classy, sophisticated, rich and warm as been said.

This nice velvety floral reminds me a little bit of Lulu sometimes. Doesn't remind me of Prada's Iris at all. I get much of pineapple and I love pineapple in perfume xD It adds sparkle to composition as well as light sourness which I usually adore. Good for everyday wearing.

Sweet and powdery, but sheer-and at least not sharp.It maintains some propriety in the form of delicacy and friendliness--
Very wearable, with indistinct (blended) florals-no lovers of iris, violet, rose, ylang ylang, etc. will get their fix from Ferre EDP, but those who hate any of these notes shouldn't be disturbed, since this doesn't smell like any of the components of the bouquet. The pineapple on top sticks out especially-but the melon cleans it up. This not a typical floral fruity, but it's not so much a floral to my nose either....Not the fragrance of a goddess or royalty or a historical figure...or you get the point. But nice!

I bought this perfume as was wanting to try a floral type, but as this was not too floral i did like it. I wouldn't wear it a lot, and haven't bought it again as wasn't one that i would class as a real favorite.

Alas, I don't think I will be able to wear it - who wants to smell like green apple for hours? It really is quite remarkable how different it smells on my skin compared to on paper (you would never guess it is the same scent!). I don't dislike it on my skin, but I much prefer what it's *meant* to smell like - a refined floral bouquet, with a contemporary edge, that is luminous and has iris at its heart.

This perfume made me smile when I opened the bottle (I love perfumes that do that). The burst of melon fruits and bergamot in the beginning is a very apt description for this - but it is also quite flowery. I must say that Ferre smells completely different on my skin to on paper (although it might be *my* skin). That fruity phase lasts forever on my skin, whereas on paper it goes straight to the iris. On paper it smells more sophisticated and refined, and on skin it smells like a grown up version of Ralph, by Ralph Lauren. Again, it might be my skin, because the melons kind of mutate into a green apple smell (the predominant note in Ralph). I once loved Ralph, but now it seems too young, and prolonged use brings on nausea - so Ferre might be a good alternative. My skin chemistry may be turning it weird - but I like the different smell on my skin!

Lovely daytime EDP but strangely it reminds me too much of Eternity Love which I had, loved and grown tired of it.

By princip I like only heavy ,not light fragrances.,but this is an exception.It is very very very nice and i like it a lot.It reminds me of Prada infusion d`iris.-the same citrusy beggining and powdery dry down,but it is more long lasting than Prada.Very elegant and clean smell.The only one light frag that i like very much and wear with pleasure

Ferre edp in my opinion is a refined floral-fruity perfume.
It smells honeydew melon in the top, the impresson is quite realistic. Unluckily Pierre Bourdon had chosen to many different flowers as heart notes which while don't overwhelm the fragrance but don't merge into harmony either. The drydown phase is adorable again due to the amber, lending a sensual touch.
Very feminine and sophisticated overall.

Sophisticated and matured scent for those who stylishly select what they put on. It's a "mummy scent" for me, coz my mum wears it since it came out but I do filch it sometimes when I don't want to get wrong with my perfume choice.

well, as I wrote already I bought it for my mom, but it smells so elegant and feminine, that I am going to purchase it for myself. Really nothing fruity-flowery which is lets call it "modern" these days, it is just very pretty. Drydown is very warm, so this is going to be my 2008 winter one :)

very classic, beautiful, although I wouldnt wear it, I bought if for my mom, and she loves it

Rich, warm and nectar-laden, this fragrance has both classic and modern elements. The pineapple and melon, are lightened by iris leaves. Iris is repeated in the heart, which features iris petals, ylang ylang, jasmine and other florals. The notes are beautifully blended, with only the iris and perhaps magnolia asserting dominance. Iris appears again in the base, along with basmati rice, amber, sandalwood, vanilla and musk. The base is soft and warm, sweet, but not cloying.

Sophisticated everyday scent for people who's not so fond of now typical sweet fruity things. Classic floral in a subtle way.
