The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, F by Ferragamo Black is an aromatic spicy fragrance for men, crafted by perfumer Olivier Polge. The composition opens with fresh and vibrant notes of lavender and apple, balanced by the warmth of black pepper and coriander. As it settles, the scent reveals a rich heart of tonka bean and labdanum, grounded by amber and vanilla. This blend creates an intriguing tension between freshness and warmth, capturing a modern yet classic elegance.
One or two sprays are sufficient as the initial freshness quickly gives way to rich warmth. This fragrance works best during cooler daytime hours when its aromatic spiciness complements the crispness of the air.
