In The Mood For Love Man Gianfranco Ferre for men

So reminiscent and of course typical. Actually for this highly charming bottle I expected something ultra chic but it's not that. Bold lavender and pepper play presents a masculinity which is something I get used to and not interested anymore. All these are not for disapproving the scent, no but this bottle, this perfect match of design and color deserves containing more pretty fragrance.

I tried this tonight at the request of a saleswoman whose look just brought the horns out of my head. When I actually tested this on my skin, I wasn't impressed. The main culprits were that:
1) she compared this to Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche, which was an instant no-go. I was in the process of purchasing the Chanel, so anything "like" it isn't going to be as good as this in my mind..

2) the initial blast simply wasn't anything innovative or exciting.

HOWEVER
About 3 hours later, I kept getting this pleasant scent drifting in and out of my nose's radar. Wanting to know exactly what it could be, I had to sniff my arm. Surely enough, it was none other than Gianfranco Ferre In The Mood For Love Man. NOW, I know why she recommended it... or at least I can imagine why she recommended it. If I were going to seduce her, this would be a nice fragrance to surround her with as I close in. The sillage is rather close, but the longevity is decent.. Not bad at all...
BTW - comparing this to the Chanel was a poor marketing attempt on her part. These two are nothing alike...

P.S. - I don't need this one at all. It's just nice, IMHO. But I'm tempted to go pick this up, along with her phone number. I'm in the mood for.....

This fragrance was being extremely anticipated by me because of its creator Olivier Polge. Finally I am satisfied, but not really impressed. I should say the scent is rather changeable, I tried it 5 times during a week before writing this review. Olivier combined here soft tonka beans sweetness, dark flowers from Dior Fahrenheit, a pinch of generic spices, a beautiful woody dry down smelling like an unlit Indian incense sticks and – unfortunately! – too much citruses. On a skin the smell is powdery (thank tonka), on clothes it is more spicy. The main problem consists in the wateriness of the fragrance, that's why it seems to be uncomplex. Yes, “In the mood for love man” is a beautiful, sophisticated scent, it is much better than most of last releases. It is ideal for men who want something seductive and not sweet/feminine at the same time. However if “In the mood for love man” were more intense it would be better.

I don’t admire the sillage of the scent, again because of the citrusy base; the longevity is average.

Just tested it this afternoon and I'm delighted with this fragrance already!

It has a vibrant opening of grapefruit and white pepper, so fresh and spicy at the same time.
Then it gets much warmer with the sweet notes blending with wonderful spicy-woody scents, I get the coriander and the cedar in particular.
Here's when I got seduced by this composition: the sweet and spicy notes are delightfully balanced and blended, I didn't expect such distinct and vivid scents to produce such a refined result!

Refined, balanced and complex at the same time without being heavy at all, the nose behind this creation has done a marvelous job.
This is going to be a great choise for the autumn/winter nights and for some special occasion.

Again this is my first impression after about three hours on my skin and it's just getting better at the drydown!

A definite buy for me, thankfully it comes at a very good price.

My rating - so far: 8.5/10

I got it today - In The Mood For Love Man – 30ml. What can I say? – Truly a great smell! I want to start with the bottle – so beautiful! Very stylish, very interesting, modern, but at the same time the color of the bottle is lovely dark/glossy/, which gives it something mysteries, something serious…

It has a very modern start – a little bit clean and fresh, with some light sweet notes. The pepper is there as well. In The Mood For Love definitely is a very complex men scent. After an hour or two it becomes more sweet and warm…But don’t get me wrong – it’s not the same sweetness as Le Male, or A*Men or Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin. The drydown is so nice and smooth – the sweetness is gone and here we have woody notes with some spices…

I can find some similarity with Dolce&Gabbana - The One / The One Gentleman, Joop! Homme Joop! or CH Men Carolina Herrera…

Definitely it is suitable for 30+ and it’s not that type – for every day use or at the office. I think In The Mood For Love Man will shine best in autumn/winter and it can be a winner for some special occasions…maybe when you are wearing elegant shirt or smart-casual jacket…

Silage is great. It’s a very powerful scent, I can guarantee ladies around you will notice you mood for love ;) Longetivity – more than 7 hours / the woody-spicy notes dominates/.

So, if you are looking for a classy, elegant, modern, but at the same time masculine men scent, In The Mood For Love Man deserves a try.

I’m very delighted with it. Bravo to Olivier Polge – great job ;)

i test it this morning.. it's one the most feminine perfumes in the men's section... but its very very romantic so they got the theme "in the mood for love"..

i maybe buy the small bottle for the special occasions.

I'm SO dying to hear the comments about this parfume, has anyone try it ?? I have a pretty good feel about it, disregarding the somewhat funny name from the guys viewpoint :) . . .

If is made by Polge have to be a good scent!Let's see..
