One of my Winter favs (have had this for past 6-7 years... when it was still a diamond in the rough *as far as the wrap cheapies get*) - outstanding in the cold. You don't need to spray much on. It stays on my skin for a good minimum of 8 hours, someitmes longer. Stays on my clothes for over 24 hours... it's impressive.
Just picked this up today at Ross for $27. So glad I blind bought it based on the name alone...this hits all my favorite scent notes AND it's got that baby powder dry-down that I love. This will be my mainstay alternate "office scent" right alongside my Bleu de Chanel Parfum!
This actually was one of the first fragrances I collected that I had to chase down. I like this one alot. Due to me having so many others I don't wear it much but I will revisit at some point. Love the review. I'm more of a cheapie guy so I tend to Len more towards watching these type reviews. It's actually what my channel is all about predominantly the more inexpensive fragrances. Not all of us can afford Creed or those other higher end fragrances. Great work you do regardless
I've only been buying work related fragrances as of late, since this was $18 on ebay, figured I'd give it a shot. Waiting on it to come in later this week to try it out!
I didn't like this the first spray. I don't like the synthetic smell of Allure/Perry Ellis M. This was until I picked up a shirt 3 days after. The gourmet cotton candy/Tonka that develops on this dry down makes this a masterpiece. You have to smell this an hour after putting it on. This has gotten more play than Bleecker St., Eau De New York, and SOPM. I layer this with La Nuit half of the time, but the hour into this is one of the best sexiest smell. I like the hour in better than La Nuit......and trust me La Nuit will get you the most expletive compliments out of any niche or designer.
I'll make this my SOTD tomorrow also... 3rd reviewer doing their take on this one this week. Excellent cheapie. If your thinking of buying it get it. Perfect blind buy. Got my tester for $22.95 for a 3.4 oz. Wearing GIT today!!
I check lily direct and fragrancex. Lily direct has flat $2.99 shipping and can chose free shipping for fragrancex. Just have to shop around. I live in Alaska and some won't ship for free here.
Absolute 🔥 This is a super fancy scent that has just recently come into its own. Perfectly layers with niche fragrances or just spray it on your pits and roll. 👺💨 -Joshua Knows-
I blind bought this after hearing great reviews. But the reviewer that mattered most, my wife, thinks I smelled like an old man and was appalled by it. The weird thing is she loves La Nuit. I guess I'm giving this to my dad lol.
I enjoy the opening and the projection on this fragrance... longevity is great and the dry down could be better but over all is a win win for the winter.
Perfect review! Agreed with you 100% Like always, and It is not even close to la nuit, the only good thing about this frangance is the dry down . That’s it! I bought it blinded and definitely not a favorite. I won’t buy it again, there’s a lot of uniques low budget frangances that Salvatore CANT compete! . There’s a difference between smell different but at the end smell like other fragrances (dry down spicy bomb) ; and smell unique and amazing!
Tonight this was my very first blind buy. Holy amazing is all I can say! I would say if Bleu De Chanel and Chanel Allure Pour Homme fornicated THIS is what would be it's love child. I'm thrilled with this purchase and its $12.99 (30 ML) price tag! Keep up the good work sir. Love your review channel!
I Like the way you are honest...i just bought this for the hell of it.......its a light Fragrance.... and yes its a year round scent.....won;'t hold up in winter F BLACK GETS A.... F
I agree that the initial spray is a bit harsh, but over time it turns into a very nice, masculine scent. Definitely more fitting for a suit and tie, but can be worn casually as well. 2 sprays and you're good to go.
I have this since this Video was Out so 6 years ago i hated it but but nowadays i think it's awsome and nothing in my 500+ collection smells like this!
Great review mate. I like it as I do the original F , both very long lasting. I like the original F better. Free time is citrusy and fresh. Would love to hear your take on the original in the twisted bottle, the fig based fragrance cheers mate. .
I just purchased this for $20 at TJ Max. My rating: Uniqueness and overall smell 7 Longevity. 8 Projection. 6 Versatility. 7 Seasons. Fall/Winter/Spring I personally wouldn’t wear it in the heat. I like it, especially for $20
You’re welcome. This one reminds me of Esprit a lot, which I loved and is long gone. It has a late seventies/eighties vibe to it. Added: yes it’s a bit synthetic, but it smells good!
i just bought 1oz without knowing the scent , i have to say that i do like the smell on the beggining but as it dries down it changes a lot . i personally like it but it doesnt match with my daily activities , but for someone who works in an office i highly recommend this one . and its kinda cheap too :) , and definetly not a date scent , dont even lol!
Hi I bought this in ROSS store however I noticed that on the back of the box there is no inflammable icon, there are only two icons - one is for may be recyclable and other is a bottle with 30 M on it. I'm not sure a product from ROSS can be fake? Can you help me confirm the same...
Hey man, I'm thinking of blind buying Salvatore Ferragamo F Black since none of the stores in my city have any testers available. I'm a 19 year old college student. Would you recommend me blind buying this as my third cold weather fragrance? Currently I only have Mont Blanc Individuel and CK One Shock.
ItsPlanB NL What do you think about individuel and one shock? I am also considering buying them and do you recommend me blind buying them? Do you best like individuel or one shock? Thank you 😊
On my skin when it settles into the dry down it smells like Povidone-iodine. It smells like this throughout most of the wearing except that sometimes I get a whiff of what smells like talcum powder. It basically smells like a hospital or a doctors office and brings the memory of a serious accident I had when I was a kid. Blind bought a 1 oz bottle at Ross yesterday for $16. If it wasn't so cheap I'd be super disappointed. I'll keep trying it a while though and see if my perspective changes. Thanks for the reviews though!
I have a bottle, but no box! How do you tell the difference between the original and Black? I have seen these bottles with white, black & red writing! Confused!
I blind bought this. I did not like it at first. There is something off putting about this scent when smelled up close. It is no La Nuit De Lhomme. The sillage of this scent is ok. But there are many others that do this better. The sillage of this scent is growing on me but something in it just burns my nose.
Redolessence Thank you. You are a master reviewer. The best in the game. This fragrance is growing on me. There is just something weird in it. But it's all subjective to each nose.
opening scent remind me Blue de Chanel and after dry down its turn to La Nuit YSL. i love the scent. its cheap but smell great. its also remind me Nuit d Issey but Nuit d Issey is deeper, stronger, bolder scent.
This reminds me of original Chanel allure and slightly la nuit but on hot days it is synthetic buy autum winter it's perfect and very cheap and lasts long
Exellent review! I like watching your reviews! I'm thinking about buying this cologne later on i went to Ross on Sunday and i saw it and i think it was like $25 or $30 bucks. Thanks for the review keep up the good work!
I just bought this perfume online But can I know is it normal the serial number of this perfume is glued on the bottom of the bottle or it should be printed?
Ou... This one is a real Banger on my skin. I don't like the opening - loud and harsh. However, the dry down hours later is good. Next use 2 sprays for me and they will be on my knee caps...
just picked up a bottle for 15 bucks. I really can't see the La Nuit comparisons. I agree with the synthetic lavender scent. Not a fan of the spiciness in this one. I'll stick to my La Nuit and Dior Homme Sport.
Dior Homme sport has a citrus top to it but settles into a nice scent. I'm usually not a big fan of citrus scents but this one is the best one...imo. It's not solely a sport fragrance either. It's quite versatile.
Great informative review. Personally not a fan of this Fragrance, smells a bit cheap to me. Would love to see your personal opinion on Fahrenheit by Christian Dior.
I am going to buy a cheap fragrance so i can spray it every hour on me cuz on my skin non of the fragrance last longer than an hour which one should i go for this one or perry ellis M i havent smell them yet
Its a nice scent but my mental association with it ruins it for me. It reminds me of Handy wipes. The little folded, wet, square napkins in packets. I can't get it out of my head that i smell like a wet nap...lol...
This has a hint of Dior Eau for men with that “lipstick” or “makeup bag” smell. I can also smell a touch of Bond no9 Bleekerstreet However, much more masculine. The dry down is very nice.
Hey, thank you for responding. Not many do. You've got a classy channel, it's very professional. You should see the book reviews I'm working on: Laced with profanity and chocked full of immature sexual innuendo. I try to contain the beast within, but you gotta be yourself. Maybe one day I'll be a semi pro with over 20,000 subscribers. But I have to finish them in order to post them.
Sorry to say you got a fake.I sprayed mines yesterday at 2:00pm and now is 2:43pm next day and still smell it on me but lightnot as strong.Bit i could still smell it it's there.
Bought this blind recently purely based on fragrance reviews I saw on TH-cam, so disappointed. Personally I do not find it that pleasant, very strange smell. If you want to smell like lavender and Parma Violets sweets then this is the one for you.
I blind bought and love it!
One of my Winter favs (have had this for past 6-7 years... when it was still a diamond in the rough *as far as the wrap cheapies get*) - outstanding in the cold. You don't need to spray much on.

I just ordered this .I can't wait to get it .good review
I really love the dry down on this one!
Long awaited this one. Love this cheapy!

Rahil what about projection and sillage

I just bought this blind. Heard lots of good things about it. I always value your opinions. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot!
Girls at my uni love this scent so compliments factor with this scent is great!

bashholt how many sprays do you do for each when you layer it with la nuit de lhomme??
@@bobmclaffah1172
Spray F Black on your bare chest and wrists. Spray La Nuit D'Lomme on your neck , shirt, hair and collar.
Ok I finally got this and MAN ... Is it powdery to me at first but, I think it dries down nicely.
Literally just ordered this based on Jeremy Fragrance's review along with Dior homme sport :)
Excellent fragrance, genuine lavender, 10/10.
Just purchased a bottle today. Your review is spot on. I appreciate you brotha. May you have more success. :D
Thanks for watching!
Just purchased it and it smells great.. Dry down was excellent.
I have this one I love in Florida so I wear it on days that it rains
Thanks for the shout out Stephen!
I'll make this my SOTD tomorrow also...
3rd reviewer doing their take on this one this week. Excellent cheapie. If your thinking of buying it get it. Perfect blind buy. Got my tester for $22.95 for a 3.4 oz. Wearing GIT today!!
What site is the best to go to for testers ?
I check lily direct and fragrancex. Lily direct has flat $2.99 shipping and can chose free shipping for fragrancex. Just have to shop around. I live in Alaska and some won't ship for free here.
Thanx Bro !
I just received my bottle of this. Very agressive. Very manly. I LIKE IT.
Nice review keep them coming
Thanks!

This is a super fancy scent that has just recently come into its own.

Very informative video. I like the smell & the price point for this kicks it up a notch in my opinion. Subscribed. Thanks!
+Jerry Layne thank you for subscribing, Jerry! I appreciate your support. Thank you for watching.
This one is awesome! It starts off with Allure Homme and dries down to Bleu de Chanel with hints of La Nuit de l`Homme throughout.
I blind bought this after hearing great reviews. But the reviewer that mattered most, my wife, thinks I smelled like an old man and was appalled by it. The weird thing is she loves La Nuit. I guess I'm giving this to my dad lol.
A very well done critical review Steven,on most terms I agree with you! / Malik
I enjoy the opening and the projection on this fragrance... longevity is great and the dry down could be better but over all is a win win for the winter.

Thanks for watching, Jerry!
@@Redolessence Your welcome you do great reviews
I agree that the initial spray is a bit harsh, but over time it turns into a very nice, masculine scent. Definitely more fitting for a suit and tie, but can be worn casually as well. 2 sprays and you're good to go.
Very well said
Good video, sound was very low miss some info, I will pick this one up, I love the original, do you have any ideas on similar fragrances.
Man the suit and tie analogy is spot on!!!! Work fragrance only!!! Maybe a work related event but formal work related!!! U spot on!!! Bada bing!!!
Thank you!
I just received this in the mail and for the price I think it is great. I'm going to test it over the next few weeks but so far this frag is awesome
I'm glad you like it!
I bought it after seeing a few reviews, but I really like it.
I have this since this Video was Out so 6 years ago i hated it but but nowadays i think it's awsome and nothing in my 500+ collection smells like this!
Just got it wow its a winner this for the info.
Great review mate. I like it as I do the original F , both very long lasting. I like the original F better. Free time is citrusy and fresh. Would love to hear your take on the original in the twisted bottle, the fig based fragrance cheers mate. .
i absolutely like it .... maybe more than versace pour homme (during the winter times, haven´t tried them both during the summer yet )
Amazing for the prize.4 season fragrance 👌
I just purchased this for $20 at TJ Max.
My rating:
Uniqueness and overall smell 7
Longevity. 8
Projection. 6
Versatility. 7
Seasons. Fall/Winter/Spring I personally wouldn’t wear it in the heat.
I like it, especially for $20
Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome.
This one reminds me of Esprit a lot, which I loved and is long gone. It has a late seventies/eighties vibe to it.
Added: yes it’s a bit synthetic, but it smells good!
After a couple hours this stuff smells amazing in my opinion
It’s a beast! Strong from the beginning to the end. Powdery, clean and certainly masculine. Nothing for boys. I love it.
Great review my dude, phenomenal value for the price!
Thank you very much!
Finally! Great review steven
i just bought 1oz without knowing the scent , i have to say that i do like the smell on the beggining but as it dries down it changes a lot . i personally like it but it doesnt match with my daily activities , but for someone who works in an office i highly recommend this one . and its kinda cheap too :) , and definetly not a date scent , dont even lol!

another thing I noticed was that back of the box mention the website parfums.ferragamo.com but on your box and amazon box show www.ferragamo.com
did a little bit more research but cannot figure out which is counterfeit...its so confusing.
not long lasting in hot weather. But good in fall and winter season
Is it good for office in the winter?
Hey man, I'm thinking of blind buying Salvatore Ferragamo F Black since none of the stores in my city have any testers available. I'm a 19 year old college student. Would you recommend me blind buying this as my third cold weather fragrance? Currently I only have Mont Blanc Individuel and CK One Shock.
I never recommend blind buys, and on a personal level, I think that there are far better options out there for you to explore.
Redolessence thanks for your reply! I'll definitely think twice before buying it.
ItsPlanB NL What do you think about individuel and one shock? I am also considering buying them and do you recommend me blind buying them? Do you best like individuel or one shock? Thank you 😊

My one does not have a flammable sign at the back of the box. Does that mean it's fake?
Not necessarily. Probably an inconsistency in production.
Redolessence Thank you!! That’s a relief. Got a Mont Blanc Individuel as well and it has the same problem so I got a little worried.
I have a bottle, but no box! How do you tell the difference between the original and Black? I have seen these bottles with white, black & red writing! Confused!
I got a 100 ml for $40 on Amazon. My girlfriend loves it
Sometimes Amazon isn't always the best place to buy it because you can get it for $18-$25.
Mark Ayres I bought for 36 at perfumania
great review I have this one and I absolutely love it
Could this be worn in Summer with less sprays?
oh my god... Yesterday I was thinking to ask you to review this one and Lomani intense Black(full review).. Happy me :) Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching!
nice one. I also get a toned down Opium pour homme vibe in this.
Hi ... If I was to buy this (f-black )or Nautica voyage...which one would you recommend...?? Kindly
You should do this again!
I blind bought this. I did not like it at first. There is something off putting about this scent when smelled up close. It is no La Nuit De Lhomme. The sillage of this scent is ok. But there are many others that do this better. The sillage of this scent is growing on me but something in it just burns my nose.
G Hall I totally respect your take!
Redolessence
Thank you. You are a master reviewer. The best in the game. This fragrance is growing on me. There is just something weird in it. But it's all subjective to each nose.
G Hall Your comment is incredible!
I love this fragrance. I'm getting close to buying another bottle. Steven Gavrielatos when will u do the review on Magnet?
opening scent remind me Blue de Chanel and after dry down its turn to La Nuit YSL. i love the scent. its cheap but smell great. its also remind me Nuit d Issey but Nuit d Issey is deeper, stronger, bolder scent.
Not sure why. But this reminds of Dylan Blue.
I have the original , I wouldn't mind trying a sample of this one first before I pull the trigger I know testers are cheap for this on fragrance net
This reminds me of original Chanel allure and slightly la nuit but on hot days it is synthetic buy autum winter it's perfect and very cheap and lasts long
One of my fav , ill wear it tonite 👍
You should review DHI next!
Exellent review! I like watching your reviews! I'm thinking about buying this cologne later on i went to Ross on Sunday and i saw it and i think it was like $25 or $30 bucks. Thanks for the review keep up the good work!
Mine smells like baby wipes and bought it at a store blind buy no pepper manly smell at all
Same
mmmmm nice, lots of compliments, picked up 100ml from perfumania in jersey garden mall for 34 dollars,
+Tej Singh Oh awesome! I go to Jersey Gardens all the time. Glad that it works so well for you.
I bought the hype. I get a baby wipe, powdery kinda resemblance. If you don't have little ones, you might not get the comparison.
I just bought this perfume online But can I know is it normal the serial number of this perfume is glued on the bottom of the bottle or it should be printed?
First i hated it, now 8 months later I like it. It's my Sotd.
Thank you for watching and for stopping by. Happy holidays!
Ou... This one is a real Banger on my skin. I don't like the opening - loud and harsh. However, the dry down hours later is good. Next use 2 sprays for me and they will be on my knee caps...
Do you like l'Humaniste?

This was my worst blind buy. I put it back in it's box & am trying to give it away. It brings down my entire collection of frags.
Great fragrance for the price!
Thanks for watching!
the round black belt wiggles on mine... does that mean it's fake? because I feel like it is...
Hmmm.... maybe it just came loose. I'm not sure if that's a sign of it being fake. Sorry I couldn't help much. =/
+Redolessence it's OK tnx tho. it still smells good
Mine does too I think it's just how it's made
its how it is mine wiggles a bit too.
I can't do florals (lavender in this case).
I respect that!
Let's see some niche top and how about a show of ur fragrance room
May have been a great review but the sound quality is very poor, didn't hear 80% of the video
Sorry about that
I am going to buy a cheap fragrance so i can spray it every hour on me cuz on my skin non of the fragrance last longer than an hour which one should i go for this one or perry ellis M i havent smell them yet
Sikander Badshah which did you choose
on me smell 98% like la nuit de homme
Great job man... For the money this is a great fragrance...
I have this perfume, it's one of my favourite
Thanks for watching!
MY FAVORITE!!!!!
love it
This smells good,smells peppery floral clean ! Compliments through the roof with this one !and it's very inexpensive
+Lion Heart I'm very glad that you love it! Thank you for watching!
Is it reformulated?
Not that I'm aware of. It probably is.
Its a nice scent but my mental association with it ruins it for me. It reminds me of Handy wipes. The little folded, wet, square napkins in packets. I can't get it out of my head that i smell like a wet nap...lol...
great video. Appreciate your honesty, hadn't tried it yet but I had heard good things from Chad (A Gentlman's Journey). God bless and be safe
+Derek Greene Thank you very much, Derek!
This has a hint of Dior Eau for men with that “lipstick” or “makeup bag” smell.
I can also smell a touch of Bond no9 Bleekerstreet
However, much more masculine. The dry down is very nice.
Thank you for sharing!
Top 5 for me and I have 40+ frags
So glad to hear that!
Wet wipes. that's all I get with this fragrance. It smells like wet wipes...yep.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Paul!
Hey, thank you for responding. Not many do. You've got a classy channel, it's very professional.
