Pontaccio 21 Gianfranco Ferre for men

Update:
if you have Ralph Lauren's Safari or know the smell then you are closer to getting a feel of this one.Only this doesn't dry down to sweetness-at least not to my nose.Safari has amber,this doesnt

There are times when i have read some reviews and have people say some scents remind them of some people-father,mom,gran etc.Havent yet come across one that reminds me of my parents but this perfume reminded me of my grandmom!

She was catholic and used lavendar, incense and myrrh a lot and sad to say that's all I get from this one.It's fairly strong on opening so you take care when spraying and not do more than 2 as you might overwhelm your nostrils.I really dont get any coffee in this at all or maybe am refusing to.there's the soft suede in the background .It is long lasting:will last all day that's for sure.but dont expect any changes.it's that linear

the problem for me with this is it's listed as one for men.i think it should be unisex and it will appeal to older women a lot more than men.it's that feminine though a case can be made for bold men who want to wear this.
I have no idea of the time and place to wear this to.i do have the balls for some bold fragrances but this is too much for me to wear to the places i go.I guess a Catholic ceremony will do for now.Until then I will just keep this till I figure that out.
for the price I got my 100ml I must say i was lucky.I can really see why the guy didnt like it as a gift.it's not for the young
Unless u really love all the notes listed esp the myrrh and incense dont go near this.they are predominant throughout it's lifespan on your skin.be warned.

the bottle is great and the leather skin make it look very attractive though but i wont put this down as a leather fragrance at all

I love this one, it smells fresh and dry at the same time. The flower and citrus elements are so balanced, it could be a feminine fragrance but there is this powerful duo of coffee and sandalwood that gives it an edgy masculine feel. I don't understand why coffee is not listed on the notes, because it's so real and well done. The same goes for the lime and all the ingredients as well. Get it before it disappears.
