FERRARI Bright Neroli Men EDT Perfume, 100 ml

Product Information

I don't care if it comes off as "grandma" to some- I really love how it smells and I think a man could easily pull this off. For office, evening, winter or intimate I would choose something else more crisp, interesting, spicy or indulgent. These citrus elements harmonize to form a zesty and invigorating opening that sets the tone for the fragrance. The drydown seems much different from NP with more spicy vetiver, patchouli and aromatics (also very reminiscent of Armani's Eau Pour Homme (or it's cousin Eau d’Aromes)). The Ferrari is not perfect - it's still a little lighter on both performance and complexity than TF, and the soapiness/detergent edge is a little more pronounced - but this is an absolutely astounding thing for the money.

This is marketed as a unisex fragrance but it is very masculine even with the floral note and it smells very strong. It fades to a gentle floral citrus after an hour or so and hangs in there for maybe 4-6 hours as a light skin scent that is like a perfect summer day.

is magnificent but is pointless as a fragrance unless you are able to reapply every hour, so for that reason only, I never purchase the cologne. The neroli, when it shines thru, is on the more spicy side, and combined with pepper and a dry vetiver note, it has moments where waves of dry-grass-next-to-an-old-gasoline-container come thru, as if all the notes are independently working fine, but when the wind pulls them together they are not always in harmony.

It smell EXACTLY like that vintage colibri you know, that lemon cologne that men usually use after shave. It performs adequately for a controlled environment but disappears sooner than I wish for the warm outdoors. Dominant notes are orange blossom, Sichuan pepper and rosemary which in the early stage are not really pleasant - there being a weird plasticine note. I get five hours out of it but it is actually has some nice and slight projection for an hour/hour and a half. But if these notes are beautifully garnished with matching accompaniments, there is no association with dishwashing detergent or household cleaning products Rosemary could also go there, there is something slightly tart and spicy in the background.

The orange blossom and neroli are the two white floral notes, both bring their white floral, citrusy and aromatic bittersweet note; the pepper and rosemary are a faint spicy note. There is definitely that sort of feeling with bright neroli although this perfume seems to be better than the rest of the line. The jacket of the actually highly respectable dark blue suit can be converted into a sporty and casual blazer for the garden party by exchanging the trousers, for example. This one seems like it had a bit of thought behind it, and if you said it was designer I would believe you.
