The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2011 and crafted by Olivier Polge, F for Fascinating Crystal Edition by Salvatore Ferragamo is a chypre floral that balances sweet and earthy notes with crisp citrus. The opening blend of orange and sugar sets the tone for an inviting yet sophisticated scent, while jasmine adds a soft floral warmth. Patchouli grounds the composition, creating a tension between its earthy depth and the sweetness above.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to capture the initial burst of citrus and sugar; the jasmine and patchouli will unfold over time. This EDT is best for evening wear when its warm, spicy base can truly shine.
