This is a review of F by Ferragamo from Salvatore Ferragamo. Rumor has it that this fragrance is supposed to be discontinued, but as of April 2023, you can still find it in various shops. So, if you’re curious or want to try something new, keep reading! I’ll also be giving you two alternative fragrances at the end of this review, just in case F by Ferragamo becomes harder to find.
Quick Facts:
- Scent Profile: floral, sweet, fruity
- Season: all-seasons
- Longevity: less than average
- Occasion: office
- Price: $
Smell:
Now, let’s dive into the scent. F by Ferragamo has some prominent notes that are easy to recognize: lavender, pepper, and apple. This gives it a floral, fruity, spicy, and slightly sweet vibe. Honestly, this combination is pretty interesting and stands out among other generic fragrances in its price category. The playful apple note really sets F by Ferragamo apart.
I’d say it’s perfect for the office all year round, except for maybe during the summer. It’s particularly suitable for guys aged 35 and up.
Longevity:
So, how does it hold up throughout the day? Well, I wore F by Ferragamo today for about 12 hours and had to reapply it twice. This means that the scent is still noticeable after around 4 hours, but it becomes weaker and loses some of its interesting notes like apple and pepper. The longevity is a bit below average, but it’s not a deal-breaker.

Final Thoughts:
All in all, F by Ferragamo is one of the most interesting men’s fragrances in the entry-level budget category. It’s hands down one of the better cheap fragrances out there and a good option for the office. Even though it’s said to be discontinued, you can still get your hands on it.
But, as promised, here are two alternative fragrances you might want to try:
- Sauvage Elixir from Dior: Sauvage Elixir shares the lavender note with F by Ferragamo but has a heavier and stronger fragrance without the fruity apple.
- Luna Rossa Carbon from Prada: Luna Rossa Carbon is also slightly sweet and has some pepper in it, making it a good match in terms of strength to F by Ferragamo.
So there you have it, guys! F by Ferragamo is an interesting, affordable fragrance that’s perfect for the office. Give it a shot while you still can, or try out the alternatives I’ve suggested.
