Parfum Subtil Salvatore Ferragamo for women

Waow that one doesnt agree with me at all!!! it smells to my nose like bug spray, my husband thinks also it is horrible, very synthetic and almost metallic..dont know but cant say anything nice about that one!!
Cavallier made a mess of that one!!

Right these days this is the scent that recomforts me at most. It's a perfectly balanced act between flowers and fruits to get a really subtle, creamy, next to skin staying, understating frag. Fortunatelly for me I don't get the jasmin, which is IMO a too dominant and persuasive flower. Unfortunatelly for me it's not sold in Europe or at least in Germany anymore. I've got this bottle on ebay, I don't know what I'll do when empty. Anyway. The cherry scent is mot at all this chewing-gum fruity, it just makes a point on the top of the "i" and of the frag, so that there is something more to smell than the creamy feeling, but it's not bold or annoying. I've got the feeling, I perceive the cherry only from time to time, e.g. when opening the window or when colder breeze. Than it is almost similar to a very delicate rose. The frag is for me perfect as it is, not loud, not fast, not bold in the crazy too loud, too fast, too bold nowadays

Beautiful, feminine, juicy fresh perfume with excellent lasting power and not expensive at all.

Subtil? For me this scent is FAR from subtil - and for that I am very grateful.

I was filling up my car with petrol after a long day at work, fumes pumping out around me, & the guy at the pump downwind of me came over to ask me what was the bewitching perfume I was wearing because he wanted to buy it for his wife! This stuff is strong with good sillage & a tenacious hold for its bargain price...but it is out of my comfort zone & bold in a different way to my beloved oriental powerhouses.

The sweetened tulip note could have caused me a headache, but there is a bitter, sappy greeness that keeps it light & tart. A touch of real-fruit juiciness (none of that tween "froot" rubbish) with a dash of ripe cherries, cool, white, clean lily florals & the ever-versatile jasmine.

It is bright without being citrus-sour, fresh without being green & watery, feminine without being tweeny or frumpy. It is feminine, flirty but DIFFERENT. Try it, you may just find a bargain beauty!

I love wearing it on windy, sunny days when I want to put a bounce in my step....it is the perfume-equivalent of an espresso. Good juice, Mr Cavallier!

Subtil is a perfume quite true to the name in a pleasant way. The start is like nothingness plus a tiny bit sweet hint (it’s not the floral fruity post 2000 girly perfume sweetness, it’s more like a nature sweetness from baby powder mixed with sweet lemon washing detergent residue on plates).

Soon there’s this really homely yet subtle slightly tart lemony orangey smell comes and lingering around like a sheer layer.
At this moment, the scent makes me picturing lovely young girl in white cotton dress and holding a lemon lollypop, but all these in an old photo with little bit dust on top.

This could easily be a go-to perfume with nearly zero-sillage. However, there’s this weird grassy gluey personality in Subtil which I also smell from Dior Addict and Guerlain Idylle, plus the slightly odd not-skanky-but-makes-me-feel-so dark chocolate accord which I found in SJP Covet (the combo of the above, my two big hates, really makes my stomach turn). To me, it’s not really subtle since I have a strong dislike to those scent. Otherwise, it will make a really lovely pure gourmand citrusy scent.

The drydown is just the grassy smell plus SJP chocolate accord which gets amplified and dusted with a bit baby powder with some warmth.

Might be lovely on the right person, but it’s really not my cup of tea. Sorry I’ve tried.

I can only smell this on myself when I am outdoors, a strange phenomenon indeed but a delightful scent (unless I am inside). Maybe a bit too "subtil".

You may call me an ignorant but I had no idea that tulips are fragranced flowers! Really!
I grow many different kinds of tulips in my garden but none of them possess any smell whatsoever, other than very gentle natural bitter-grassy smell.
Subtil, therefore, was my blind buy, as I was so looking forward to have a perfume in my collection with a tulip note.
Subtil, indeed, is a very different fragrance and I presume it might be the tulip note.
The usual perfume pyramid, however, seems to be upside down to me as what I can smell first are florals and amongst them, the tulip note (very different to what I have smelled in all my life, so I presume it must a tulip) and after an hour I can detect a hint of fruity notes adding a bit of twist to floral notes.
The olfactive group of Subtil, a floral woody musk, does not make much sense to me as Subtil seems to be a purely floral fragrance with hardly any wood and certainly no musk, at least not to my nose, that is :-)
Subtil is a great fragrance, it has good silage & lasting power and its price is just indecently low - I got a 100ml of EDP for $18.00. It was the deal of my life as I personally consider the quality of Subtil the same as of those very expensive, posh, overpriced super-duper fragrances from the top shelf at an exclusive perfume shop :-)
Subtil is multi-dimentional, it changes during the day giving you an unforgettable experience of walking into a floral garden.
It stays for quite a good while and draws compliments.
And c'mon - that price???? It is like getting the juice for free and paying for the lovely bottle only :-)
Must have for floral lovers!
It has medium silage and is still present on my skin after 12 hours from application. What a gem!

P.S. Mr Cavallier makes me love him more and more every time I try another fragrance created by him... It is like his and mine olfactory bulbs were one :-)

Mwater, LOVE LOVE your review!!
I soooo agree with you on this GEM!

Jacques Cavallier has a very succsessful nose! this is another very nice fragrance from him! cherry cream pie, slightly powdery, very soft and foody, shy flowers in the background combined with warm musk and creamy woods on the base. ohhhh, just yummy !!! beautiful! it lasts a good while, and has a precious sillage ! love it! a masterpiece from top to bottom. wouldn t mind having a full sz bottle of this.

Simply beautiful, light, Cherry 7up with vanilla and some musk. It is so pretty and very likeable! For those that wanted to love Acqua di Gioia but couldn't get past the sterility/sharpness of it, I implore you to try this. Gives you a similar bubbly and spring like vibe but with so much more to offer. This lasts pretty well but isn't overpowering. Subtil will be a great fragrance for spring and it is my favorite from Ferragamo so far! ;'D Thanks bunches Gypsykitten! If you never offered this to me for swap then I probably never would have encountered this lovely little gem of a perfume!

This is more of an evening scent. Not my favorite, not a youthful scent either. But good enough to wear on days when you want a heavier fragrance.

Yankee Candle company sells a candle labeled ‘’tulips'', it's red and this perfume reminds me of it, thus I’m in love with it! I smell one of my favorite essences here, lily of the valley and it’s so nice. I love how tulip and cherry seems to change lily-of-the-valley from white to red, in this scent. Subtil is my favorite perfume from this house hands down. It’s very much like a cherry soda with flowers, a tad carbonated yet so very organic at the same time. Longevity and sillage is great, not to mention how affordable it is!

I've never smelled a tulip, but reviewers of this perfume seem to be able to pick it out. It smells like a pink musk stick to me, but in a watered-down fashion and no sickliness like Aquolina pink Sugar. I like that it stays a long time too. Not for hot weather, I think it would become cloying. And I wouldn't wear it in an enclosed space like an office or theatre. Nicer at a distance. Just right for fresh air, a day in the country, or walking the beach on a cool windy day. I have had it for about 2 years and only wear it occasionally but when I do I enjoy it all over again.

SUBTIL is subtle and light on me. Where is this intensive and passionate fragrance I have expected? This one is like a beautiful warm April day with gorgeous spring flowers bathing in the sun. I love the tulips and I definitely get them in this fragrance with a gentle touch of lily-of-the-valley.

I was intrigued by cherry in the top notes. It is not sweet but a bit dessert like, perhaps like a cherry martini. The opening is interesting to experience but it does not last long. The heart notes at first are 100% spring floral delight. The tulip scent has the fresh tone that I like and it goes well with the lily of the valley. Jasmine adds a bit of sweetness but it is not overpowering in this composition. Then the florals turn a bit soapy, which I do not particular enjoy. The scent slowly develops into the base notes of woods and musk. I think that there is sandalwood and perhaps rosewood. The dry-down is very light. I barely can feel it after couple of hours.

This is a nice floral light office fragrance, which is not capable of offending anyone. The sillage is medium in the beginning but then it goes to close to the skin scent on the dry down. The longevity is at least 6 to 8 hours. I will not purchase it again but I will definitely use it for the office.

Subtil smells like a ver expensive exotic drink.HOney dripped tulips,passionate ripe cherries dripping rich tulips ans lily of the valley on the side.WEll rounded.Has a spicy sweet,floral combination that doesnt really bring to mind any season.JUst good everyday!-NO surprises.to put it plainly,it just smells really good and WOULD SUIT ANY AGE,FRESH,WARM AND INVITING>LIKE I SAID,SITTING IN THE BREEZE,DRINKING A SWEET TRPOPICAL DRINK SURROUNDED BY FLOWERS!!

A very interesting fragrance,different ,maybe because of tulips.I bought this one without knowing how it smells,first I really liked but now I were this very rare.I think is suitable for summer and spring.

This smells good but reminds me alot of Valentino V it's good though.

Wow this smells very good but to my nose smells exactly like pour femme, which i have had and worn for years! Maybe a little "softer" but the same over all fragrance. Not complaining though- just means more Salvatore Ferragamo!

I enjoy this fragrance very much-unlike any other, and not stupidly expensive, it outshines its faults and endears itself to me!
Slightly tart, soapy and warm-I smell lily of the valley and a tender sour cherry, but not such a metallic note like in Salvatore Ferragamo pour femme. I smell something like "tulip" oil-the kind of oil you find in a head shop. Honestly, I don't smell terribly much much when I sniff tulips in spring-they're pleasant but not intoxicating,
their fragrance is quite subtle-which explains the note here perhaps!
Well-named! I think this is a fantastic pretty little touch for spring wear-the lasting power is decent, but the fragrance seems like it could wear poorly in the wrong weather-so it could take a little trial and error to find the right time to enjoy Parfum Subtil-but it would be worth it!

Ferragamo's Parfum Subtil smells almost simular to Lancome's miracle but parfum
Subtil opens with the spiciness of
tulips a flirty blast of red cherries
the last top note is delectable fruits
the drydown has a musky vanilla undertones miracle has more of a mixture
of peony and orangy undertones.
it's a bit powdery but not overwelminly so the perfume ends with vanilla
like a cherry shortcake Delecious!.

WOO-HOO! WHAT A FRAGRANCE!

After trying the fragrance that was Salvatore Ferragamo pour Femme, I was somewhat hesitant to try Subtil. I happened to find a 1.7 oz for sale at TJ Maxx for $14.99 figuring it wouldn't hurt to try. To echo Action: OMG OMG OMG what a BEAUTIFUL fragrance!!!!

The opening is slightly citrusy and slightly sweet, not overbearing but 'very present'. It almost smells like a woman's natural sweet and warm fragrance. As the fragrance develops, there are TULIPS!!! I adore tulips, but I'd never had a perfume that includes it as a note.

There is something sooo sexy and soft about that tulip note. The drydown still includes the citrus and tulip mixed with a slightly woody finish and a little white musk.

Can I say that I think I may have found my signature fragrance? I smell like a confident, sexy, passionate woman and I'm loving that! I can rock the power suit or the slinky teddy wearing this fragrance. Long lasting, excellent sillage to boot!

Subtil scores an astronomical 10 out of 10 hands down!

This is nuts. It smells just like Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Femme in the opening! Assertive fruits with a little twang of sourness and spice. Luckily, after half an hour, Parfum Subtil and Pour Femme part ways. Whereas Pour Femme retains its chypre green spice, Parfum Subtil becomes more . . . subtle. The fruits are sweet and muted by accompanying musk and florals. It also becomes highly SOAPY on my skin. Not too much sillage, decent lasting power.

All said, Pour Femme would be painted in sharp, brilliant, primary colors; Parfum Subtil would be shrouded in sweet but muted greys and pastels. I personally dislike the musk and soap, but on the right personality . . .

This is a very attractive scent that I'm really enjoying alot.
There's a fizzy pop of marachino cherry in here that I'm crazy about , it's delicious ! Tulip & lily make this fresh & very chic smelling. The musk gives it body & I swear there's something a little boozy in this wonderful potion..Subtil is perfectly sweet & very appealing to me.
Guys seem to think this smells good when I wear this, so there is some sex appeal in this perfume , in a cheerful, unassuming way.
One of the best casual scents in my opinion, to me it's wearable in any weather , any occasion , perfect for vibrant , sunny gals for sure.
Long lasting on my skin , 6 hours plus.

With the first spray I was in love, I knew that I had to have this scent. This a lovely Lily of the Valley scent in that it isn't too strong. It has a very nice powdery dry down. I wish the staying power was better. As much as I love this scent I must admit that it isn't a good winter or fall scent and I will have to wait until spring to wear it

On my skin, the floral notes balanced each other. No one flower overpowered another. I didn't get much cherry specifically, but the top notes did sparkle, and the delicately musky base was prominent amid the floral composition, which made the fragrance more compatible with my chemistry.

I would have to agree with Minousdepoes that it is probably not a scent for very young girls. It made me think of what a perfumed floral-musky soap might smell like if it were targeted at an older generation. Overall, it was unassuming and pleasantly (not overwhelmingly) feminine, and worked very well for wearing in the office. My fiance loved it, too.

First, I loved it! Smelled like sour cherry milk shake. Pleasant, romantic and subtle, indeed.
But... after getting used to it, it started to disappear from the very beginning which annoyed me all the time. The lasting power and the strength are the greatest disadvantage of this perfume. Very nice, but not noticeable at all. :-(

Orange blossoms and lilies of the valley with a hint of cherry.
Very simple, but i like very much the tulip note.
Tulip makes this distinguished. All rest of this fragrance are very plain.
However is pleasant and feminine.
Could be fine for rainy days (in my opinion).

I feel a lot of cherry in it and I think it's great for cold weather. People notice it and like it on me)
I love to wear it in winter.

Ik heb deze geur gisteren gekregen. Een heerlijke geur, niet voor tieners denk ik.
Zelf vind ik deze geur lijken op Escase S, alleen veel beter en meer power. Blijft de hele dag te ruiken. Een warme, niet te zoete geur die lang blijft ruiken.

Very similair to Escade S, but much better, more powerfull. A warm smell, not to sweet and a good, very good staying power.I think not for very young girls.

Very straightforward, definitely not shy. It has a quality to linger in your nose and mind after the person that wers it is gone, and it`s a pleasant feeling. Lush and luxirous, it calls for sparkling, bright personality. Lily of the valley and tulip with it`s fresh and bitter undertones softens this celebration of fruit and flowers.It dries out with a nice musk that still has the sweetness of jasmine in it.
I always thought that it`s very similar to Zillion by Herbalife, only even more feminine. I would like to be friends again!
