F by Ferragamo (for women)

Miss_crystal

I just received it as a gift.
Interesting smell, very sweet, reminds me of wild strawberries..
Long-lasting and strong. Maybe even too much.

I discovered it just when it was released. Indeed the first notes are bright, yummy then it switches to the language of semi-tones and becomes a kind of tender sweet floral powder with red berries. Well, after two years I found myself still intrigued by the scent and finally bought it. I understand those who are disappointed, they might have expected smth bright and distinctive that lasts from the beginning to the end. Definitely it is not the case. Believe it or not it works on subconscious level, attracting attention as if some hardly noticeable fluids have been spread around by you, creating a tender sweet sensual aura.

Despite the fact that the opening reminds of Insolence with the same grape notes, it evolves in absolutely different direction and unlike Insolence it is a girly scent.

In general the perfumes could be divided in two categories: 1. self- sufficient with bright individuality, sometimes they could overshadow the owner (some Chanel does that) 2. perfumes- accessories, they serve just as a prolongation of your personality, an addition.

So, F could be placed in the second category. To accept it you should accept the fact that it doesn’t create an image from scratch it just adds to it. And I am happy that we are compatible.

As usual, I agree with Malegria... LOL... it is a one time positive feeling and after a few more tries, because it doesnt metamorphose, it leaves you disappointed.

Gorgeus !!! It reminds me of Insolence edt, Hot Couture edt and Apparition. Between them, I love F: it is the most enchanting.

This is a non evolving scent.What you smell is what you get from the beginning to the end.Neroli and jasmin are clear and intoxicating but the rose feels pretty fake.The bubblegum-smell resemblance is true and strong.There is a gourmand effect that strawberry and pistachio usually create.
Overall it's very femminine and enjoyable but the lack of an"unfolding"nature makes it a bit shallow.

Is it just me or does anyone else smell grape at the beginning?! It's quite unique, what a pity that it fades very quickly and what stays is an overly sweet chewing-gum-type scent.

it is a glamorous fragrance, very faminine strong and sexy.

Comparing Incantos this fragrance doesn't smell like exotic fruit shampoo. It actually smells of hard candies at first... You know those colorful many kind little candies that stick together. It dries fruity and flowery with a hint of citrus. It's like strange flowery orange juice. It had a little spicy somewhere in between, but it won't stay long. It is intense and stays quite long on skin. But for me- something more complicated and different, please!

Hattie

I could have sworn that there is a hint of ginger here.
This smells spicy on me, although I do get the neroli. It's somewhat masculine - which I like - and a brave man could easily wear this one.
The bottle is designed quite stylish in an Italian way, and a nice piece of decoration for display.

Taliera

I could have sworn this was an oriental floral. I keep on smelling vanilla. It is floral with fruity sweet notes and deepness in the bass. To me the scent is sensual, delicious and full bodied.

Malegria

I liked it a first, but after a few try-ons got disappointed. It starts with a very pleasant flowery note, neroli dominates, but then it dissolves into a synthetic freshness with an ammonia-like smell.The Subtil was so much better and brighter!

My friends say I'm like a walking chewing gum when i were this. It's an unatural synthetic sweetness I don't like at all

SandraS

I can't seem to pass from the first notes. I thinks its overly sweet and intoxicating no doubt about it. I believe its the neroli note I dont like.

Ester

F and Apparition by Ungaro are like two sisters - similar, but different. No wonder both were designed by one man.
