Salvatore Ferragamo pour Femme expresses the classic and sophisticated style of Ferragamo’s world. The fragrance is floral-fruity, with a grassy note. The composition opens with a mild, spicy note of star anise, neroli and apricot. The heart contains a worm and playful mixture of petals and spices: rose, lily of the valley and pepper. The trail is also unusual and gourmand, composed of musk, raspberry and almond. It was created by Jacques Cavallier in 1998.

I smelt this on someone else and loved it. As I could never find a tester I went ahead and purchased a bottle without ever having tried it. The verdict: I'm very happy thankyou.
Spotted the Gold edition at TJ Maxx. This is simply one of the best perfumes ever. It is a beautiful warm floral. I'm keeping this one put away for a special occasion. You should be able to find this at any TJ Maxx/Marshalls for a reasonable price. Fellas grab this one, she'll be happy. Gold edition.
After having it for about a year I still LOVE it. Very elegant bitter-sweet, spicy fragrance. Lasts on me for a long time with a great projection, while the Gold Edition is very timid and close to the skin.
By the way the Gold edition is somewhat similar to EA 5th Avenue Style while the original is absolutely unique and unlike anything else in my collection.
Like it.
Got it today the gold edition (gold pour femme).
A few years back I noticed a gorgeous fragrance coming from another passenger on a bus. We both got off the bus together, so I went up to her and told her how good she smelt. She told me she had been thinking the same about my scent too! She told me she was wearing Salvatore Ferragamo but didn't think you could get it here anymore, and she was correct. A year or two later and, voila, it has reappeared but there's never a tester!!! SOOO annoying. To blind buy or not? Because it smelt WONDERFUL on her!
My cousin loves this one, and her other favorites are:
Givenchy Very Irresistible
Dior Pure Poison
Jesus Del Pozo In White
Kenzo Amour Indian Holi
its ok but a little too musky and strong
quite disapointing. its wearable and unoffensive, a citrus-musky scent that at the begining smellt like a citrusy detergent and then setteld into an o.k very powdery something. low projection and gone after 2 hr.
I thought I'd like Salvatore Ferragamo based on all the reviews here, but it's too musky for me. (Despite their origin, musks never smell animalic/body-odorish/dirty to me. Instead I get the olfactory equivalent of white noise, too loud to ignore.)
This opens with prominent, detergent musk and a very nice green melon. It's feminine but not sweet. It segues into moderate musk, gentle pepper, and soft woods. I get a faint whiff of nutmeg and vetiver too. This part's super. Then, at the end a twangy synthetic raspberry note pops out (which is how bvlgari rose essentielle finishes: metallic blackberry).
This perfume is very interesting, chic, and pleasant. According to wikipedia, "about half the human population are anosmic (unable to smell) to macrocyclic musks, possibly due to its high molecular weight." I almost wish I were among that half, because apart from the darn musks, I find this scent brilliant. However, it seems miscategorized as a chypre. It doesn't have a "harmony of oak moss, labdanum, patchouli and bergamot." Specific ingredients aside, it lacks the sensuality I associate with chypres. This perfume is a wit, rather than a sensualist. I'd reclassify it as a Woody-Floral-Musk.
For all lovers of Fendi "Theorema" - I'm sorry to say that I can't agree with the statement,that SF Femme and Theorema have any similarities. Femme is light, chypre-liga, and Theorema is an out and proud cinnamon-flower-oriental.
Who seeks to find a Theorema-replacement should defenitly pay caution with this one and test before enthusiasticly buying...
I have to disagree with imoore who says that Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Femme smells like a watered down version of Balmain de Balmain. I have this perfume and I did have a bottle of Balmain de Balmain which was a blind internet buy but I hated it and returned it! Whereas this perfume is absolutely lovely and feminine - a soft, creamy, floral with a hint of raspberry fruitness - I found Balmain de Balmain to be harsh, far too woody and heavy and extremely unisex - in fact, so unisex that I thought it was far more a man's type of scent than a woman's. I know everyone has their own take on things, and smells things differently of course, but I just thought I'd throw in my penny's worth and say that, to me, this is VERY, VERY different to Balmain de Balmain!
Bought this at Marshalls for $16.00! It's delicious. The opening was a little too sharp, but settled down within about 10 minutes to a lovely warm fruit smell, not too sweet. I'm not getting any grassy notes. The sillage is close and I wish it lasted a bit longer on me, but I'm happy to spritz again after about 4 hours. This would be great for work since I don't think anyone would find it too strong. It's one of those fragrances that you want to lean in close and experience. A great find for not much money!
For me it is a watered down version of Balmain de Balmain.
It is a nice every day light chypre.
Nice grapefruit opening. Stays fresh and floral. Lovely daytime spritz!
This is a nice, clean grassy fragrance. It is a beautiful fragrance. It is not too loud and appropriate for any occasion. I don't smell any fruit or flowers in this perfume. To me it smells very green and grassy with a hint of spice and pepper. I LOVE it!!!
Just gave a review to Subtil by Ferragamo, now it is Pour Femme's turn :-)
Pour Femme was a great surprise to me - lovely floral juice with a slice of fruit :-)
Initially i thought I got the price tag wrong as I got a 100ml EDP bottle for $18.00 (just like I grabbed Subtil) and for that jokingly low price, I decided to buy it blind.
And have no regrets! Pour Femme is a beautiful fragrance gentle enough to be worn to office or a Sunday roast with in laws :-) But it is distinct enough to draw compliments from people around you.
Pour femme is my finishing touch to a smart suit as well as casual white linen trousers. It goes well with any clothing and will surely uplift your mood!
I cannot tell you what particular notes I can detect as the whole fragrance is such a lovely balance of flowers, fruit and spices.
None of them is screaming, yet all of them make you feel elegant, confident and soooooo feminine.
I noticed that all Ferragamo fragrances last a good while on me and Pour femme is no exception.
It has noticeable sillage and for $18.00 per 100ml EDP you would be silly to give it a miss!!!!
If florals with a fruity echo are your cuppa, give it a go.
You won't regret it!
The quality is superb!
My both thumbs and all toes up for Mr Cavallier!
This is an expensive-smelling, elegant fragrance that's floral with a pleasantly fruity undertone. A good, conventional everyday fragrance. Nice, but no distinguishing features so I probably won't buy it again.
I just got a back up bottle myself as it is nowhere to find online!It's just gorgeous!
It iseems like it is on the category of creamy floral.
People, grab it without a second thought if you come across it!
Salvatore Ferragamo EDT Gold Pour Femme!
I justfound a 1.7 oz. bottle at T.J. Maxx, Beaverton Oregon. I came upon it 4/29/2011 and picked up a bottle. Went to the car, opened it up and loved it so I decided to go back into the store and pick up the last bottle. I have not heard of the GOLD edition but I love it. Now, it's a favorite in my collection. I have GOOGLED the fragrance and cannot locate the GOLD Edition anywhere. Can someone give me the history of Salvatore Ferragamo EDT, GOLD Pour Femme?
Nattonline, I just got Gold myself, and it's an entirely different fragrance. Ferragamo is spicy and flowery, and Gold is warm, creamy and yes, very oriental.
To be honest, Gold was a huge surprise to me....I like Ferragamo fragrances, but did not expect it to be so beautiful. It is EDT but it has the potency of EDP. It feels almost like liquid gold on the skin. Gorgeous, just gorgeous!
I hope they will add it to the database soon, because it is so worth being talked about.
Just wanted to add that the sillage lasting power of the Gold edition are amazing, especially considering it is an EDT concentration. I never considered Ferragamo perfumes having enough personality to be used as special occasion fragrances, but this one definitely rises above the rest from the house( to my nose at least).
I just got a bottle and my bottle is in "gold" and perhaps it's an alternate version of this original, I don't know. On my skin, it doesn't get fruity at all. It actually turns into something like oriental floral. It's soft and yet potent. It's very feminine and I can see it great for many of my girl pals. However, it is not going to work with me because I wanted it to be more clean and fruity. I think the oriental aspect in women's fragrances is just too feminine for me to pull off. :(
What an enigma!!Florals,fruits,spices,pepper?musky raspberry almond milk.All combined making for one very differnt fume.THis was made for a confident,in charge woman,who still has a softer side.Playful,clean but still a lil dirty from the musk.Always sweet,even to the end!
Salvatore Ferragamo pour femme don't smell like Pleasures of Estee Lauder. Also, this one its so far, a better fragrance.
Neither its "too fruity". Its a delicate "chypre floral"... with softly hints of citric fruits like green apple & raspberry (almost unperceivable) and grapefruit (obviously) in a blend of subtle cocktail... Like the subtle but prominent flavor of a coconut-lemon tart... However its not a "gourmand" essence.
The drydown its floral... Spicy elements are just right, to make this fragance elegant, discreet and distinguishing.
That being said, I don't know if I would call this perfume a chypre fruity. I would call it an allrounder and if I MUST choose, I would give it the same category as Theorema, Oriental Spicy looking at the pepper, the nutmeg AND the spicy note in general that are ALL in this perfume!
If you love Theorema, this will maybe be your thing too. I love this one more than my Theorema!
The problem with this frag is that it does not stick, you have to use an awful lot of it as well! It should be much cheaper.
Salvatore Ferragamo is a great perfume! I agree with Awesomeness that it's fresh and clear, and it's also very clean smelling. I'm not normally a big fan of floral perfumes, and this is floral but with a hint of fruitiness which I really like. I don't detect the metallic element in it which some reviewers seem to smell, nor do I think it smells remotely like Estee Lauder Pleasures, luckily, because I really hate that perfume!!
So, I'm loving this perfume and would definitely buy another bottle when I run out!
Do you have a TJ Maxx?
This is soft, soapy, green, and fresh. It's strange because I really enjoyed the Ferragamo pour homme, it was almost feminine in its sweetness and had a lot of character which is rare for a men's cologne. I was hoping for some of that same character in the women's version. I like it, but some of the notes that I loved in the men's version are sadly missing in this women's version. I really miss the lemon, cyclamen, and carraway from the men's version of this fragrance and wish that they had been added. While pleasant and fresh, I wanted the complexity of the cologne in this perfume and sadly, it is lacking. I guess I'll continue to hijack my husband's cologne. I rate this one 6 out of 10.
Upon initial application of FERRAGAMO I was having a serious déjà senti experience. Then suddenly I remembered what this reminds me of: PLEASURES by Estee Lauder. I have not worn PLEASURES in a long time, though at one point I was trying to convince myself that I liked it and managed to get through nearly half a bottle. I cannot say that they smell the same, but they make me feel the same, if that makes any sense.
FERRAGAMO, too, has a strong peony presence, which apparently does not sit well with me--at least in what appear to be certain synthetic renditions. This edp seems rather clean, just as PLEASURES does in some ways, but for some reason it does not agree with my body's chemistry. Rather than soapy or green, I find these fragrances to be slightly metallic. Although they are not repugnant or emetic, I don't find them particularly agreeable or enticing either.
That said, FERRAGAMO would appeal, I think, to anyone who loves PLEASURES. Best suited for summertime, I think.
i am oh so happy to have this once again, it has been several years. YAY :)
I've been wearing this one mindlessly for a while now and just today I sniffed my wrist and realized . . . wow I really really love it.
As far as chypres go, this is superb. The opening is loud, bold, and masculine, which I admire. The green spices take an early stand, untempered by sweet notes and abrasively dry. What an attitude! Salvatore Ferragamo seems like that assertive woman who knows exactly what she wants and goes toward it like a torpedo. She's a real powerhouse, unique and strong. After the spicebomb of anise is aired out, what is left is a fruity heart, that much juicier and sweeter in contrast to the opening. Oh my goodness, it's sublime. I distinctly make out the grapefruit flirting with the raspberry, and it's so tender I almost want to cry. The cute peony peeks out from this combination bashfully. Warm woods provide the backdrop to this meadow scene. Is this really the same perfume that I smelled half an hour before? Salvatore Ferragamo has that element of surprise that I find missing in so many fragrances lately.
I love this perfume from start to finish. It is so unusual and so daring, in a quiet way. The lasting power is medium and the sillage is a little less than medium. But the attitude that's packed in this perfume . . . unimitatable. Masculine, bold, and strike-them-down. Unconventional and green from spicy head to fruity tail. For a woman full of self-assurance and surprises.
Yup this is the one. i know it by the bottle. I had this scent a few years back and used every drop! Since then,
i have not been able to find it; is it discontinued? I cannot remember how it smells literally but I do remember absolutely LOVING this perfume! I am going to search the web and see if I can snag this again. I have missed it!
This starts off as a very thin scent, watery and aquatic. I don't pick up the typical strong fruit, which is a nice change.
It is light and fresh with only a slight soapy undertone. It actually reminds me alot of Liz but with more green and spice to it.
I personally prefer a heavier scent but this would work well in the summer.
Not bad but not notable either.
Update: Summer's here and I've got to say this stuff is made for the heat! I like the soft sweet peppery spices very much. For those who aren't big on tea or citrus, give this one a try.
A classy floral scent that lasts and lasts!
I always love this perfume. Currently I am already using the 3rd bottle. One of my all time favourite.Smells very classy.
This perfume is for a confident woman. The spices are notable, particularly the pepper and nutmeg. As the scent dries down the carnation and neroli come more into play. Sillage is spectacular--I was in a meeting today and my sharp-nosed assistant knew I had been in the room but didn't know why.
I bought this unsniffed at TJMaxx and am testing it as we speak. So far, what I'm getting is a lot of soap with a hint of grass. As it warms up I'm getting a strong pepper accord which is not working with the soap. This is not going in a good direction. Love the bottle, respect the designer, hate this scent. The test is complete - gotta go wash this off right now! : (
I really do enjoy wearing Salvatore Ferragamo. It's certainly a different type of fragrance, not your typical fruity scent. It is much more complex than most other perfumes I've tried.
Firstly, I will review this fragrance by describing how it smells on paper and on my skin, because they both differ considerably.
On paper Salvatore Ferragamo begins as a soft, almost soapy and refreshing blend of grapefruit, green notes, black currant and bergamot. However on my skin the spices are much more prominent and I can clearly smell the pepper, coconut and anise.
The middle notes are so beautiful, flowery and sweet on both skin and paper. The rose note is delicate and fresh, while the spices mantain that unique balance in the opening. At this point I much prefer the fragrance when worn on the skin because it has much more 'oomph' and character than on paper.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is a very classy scent, which is a truly hard to find characteristic in most fruity fragrances these days.
Salvatore Ferragamo is sure to impress, captivate and be complimented this Summer, so I urge anyone to try this amazing scent.
So pretty and feminine, appealing to the majority kind of scent. This is the classic from Ferragamo.
Unfortunately, I was never able to remember these types of fragrances and this reason keeps me from loving them. I guess, it is just my unskilled nose.
Anyways, thumbs up for Salvatore Ferragamo pour Femme!
for my nose, grapefruit its notable but not sharp -that is so nice-. Spices and woods gave the right balance to this fragrance. Feminine and very soft... nice and comfort. The drydown its flowery and discreet.
Good for mornings, and perfect to make intellectual works :) Make me feel "in focus"
This is gorgeous. On my second bottle, LOVE IT.
My favorite Ferragamo.It has everything - the flowery burst that instantly acts like an antidepressant and self-esteem-booster, the spices, that make you feel sexy and special, the sultry woodsy notes that want everyone to turn their heads and ask - who is she?Very clever to put raspberry in the base - after the flower carnival is gone and the woods take it`s place, the sharp invigorating raspberry preserves this feeling of a celebration.
gorgeous and delicious!
a head turning!!
I LOVE IT
The Best Parfume in The World !!!!
I had it, I want it...I will buy it again...But I don't have place to buy it..No one is selling in the area where I live..
