Thank You for this sophisticated and wonderful review. I have just received this fragrance today and I am watching this while my nose is checking my wrist on and on :)
that cocktail sounds awesome! i bet it would be even better with a scoop of florentine gelato! as for the frag, i have yet to try it. it's not available in my country, and i usually get distracted by new offerings in the duty-free shops
Aahhh Firenze! My second favorite city in Italy. Plus a Negroni made with an aparitivo form city number 3, Milano! I need to get back to do some shopping. That aside, I added this to my solwly growing collection from this house and really enjoy it. It's not a stunner, but still very pleasant and quite servicible!
I am crazy for Ferragamo shoes! I just got my first pair last spring and they are amazing. The old adage is true. Invest in at least one great pair of formal shoes and they will take you a very long way. Cheers.
Wonderful review! I own another Ferragamo fragrance and I am quite happy with it. Surprisingly, the Ferragamo fragrances are very reasonably priced for such a famous fashion house. Today I also happened to look at Ferragamo shoes in De Bijenkorf, the largest department store here in Amsterdam. These were expensive but amazing quality!
+Dim Mih Oh boy would I love a pair of ten of Ferragamo shoes! Louboutin are fun with the red soles but I love Ferragamo. Yes it is interesting how reasonable Ferragamo fragrances are. And that is Great!
Great review! :) I think I did try this one.. but not on skin, just the top notes on paper.. I think would have to test it out properly, I've been to Florence and Pisa, beautiful architecture, beautiful food.. amazing place :)
+FragranceView Yes it is worth a test drive for sure. Ah...and the Florentine people are so kind and beautiful too. Arrivederla vi auguro una buona giornata!
+Michelle Ramses Jazz is one of my top favorite genres of music, as is R&B, and film soundtracks. I also enjoy music from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods. Love early 20th century "classical" like Mahler, Debussy, Sibelius, Karl Orff, Stravinsky, Bartok ...the list goes on and on. Love Big Bands from the 1930's and 40's ... I like a lot of music.
Great video Lanier. I wish I had watched this over a decade ago before my visit to Florence. Haha. Would have loved to visit Ferragamo. I love this fragrance. In fact, this fragrance is special to me because I received it as a gift and loved it, and after wearing ADG and Eternity for years.. it opened my eyes and sparked my curiosity as to what other unique fragrances I might be missing out on... And so began my full fledged fragrance journey and hobby.
+svtang03 What a great story!! And ...a very special one as well. I hope you can get back to Florence someday, and see Ferragamo. Ciao for now amico mio!
I saw this review and immediately admired the bottle, but I was safe as I knew I was buying no more expensive perfume until late 2016 if not later. Than I heard the fatal words. '...inexpensive...'. I was lost. The bottle is so beautiful that I had to have it. Had to. I didn't care what it smelt like! I had to have that bottle! Actually, I like the perfume, which is a plus. But if it had been foul, I would still be glad to have it! Many thanks for the tip.
Lanier, you are becoming my favorite fragrance reviewer on UA-cam. Great job, sir! Also, what is the song that plays at the beginning of all your videos?
+The Bopper Isn't it simply a great go to fragrance and with all that Italian dolce vita and glamour attached to the house. Just love it. Cin cin e Ciao amico mio!
I love this inexpensive EDT, but as always I suffer from longevity issues, my skin Ph must be terrible, great fragrance house though. And as always an interesting and elegant review.
+Doubl3 Troubl3 Have you tried putting a little odorless moisturizer on your pulse points before applying the fragrance? That helps me extend longevity. But then again, I just love to reapply. There is something about that ritual that I find rather chic.
+Notes Punch I miss it every day!! All of us frag heads should plan a trip to the Pitti Palace in Florence for the fragrance fair, FRAGRANZE! Just look at how wonderful it is!! www.pittimmagine.com/en/corporate/fairs/fragranze.html
The absolute best review of this fragrance. Thank you Lanier!!
I bought it blind at a rack store and simply love it!
I wore a few bottle of this stuff and have it in my collection still! Good stuff!
+Looking Feeling Smelling Great I have often thought of giving it away...but I can't!! LOL
Thank You for this sophisticated and wonderful review. I have just received this fragrance today and I am watching this while my nose is checking my wrist on and on :)
Classy as always, Mr. Smith. I liked the fragrance but I ended up selling it.
+AGentlemansJourney Yes I know you liked it. I thought of you when I was planing on filming this one. Cheers Chad!
+AGentlemansJourney Looking dapper in the profile pick Mr. Chad
+bhaffar He certainly does look every inch the Gentleman.
I love the way you present your videos, so chilled :D
+KillaFrags I am so thrilled you think my videos are chilled! Thank you so much Killa for taking the time to stop by! Cheers!! :D
I simply love your content and the classic elegamt way you present your fragrances.
+JacobSimoni Jacob you are so kind! You just made my day sing! Cheers!!
superb video, i love ferragamo f black and will check this out soon
+razscott I have heard lots of good things about Ferregamo F Black. I really want to sniff that one. Cheer and Ciao for now! .
+Lanier Smith yeah i got a 100ml for just £20, similar to la nuit de l'homme but better imho
Stop it! You are making me go over my fragrance budget!! LOL.
Hi Lanier, another amazing video. How do you feel this compares with Farragamo F Black?
+Timothy John-Luke Smith, PSA I truly cannot say Timothy as I have yet to test F Black. :(
+Lanier Smith F Black is worth a try, not a blind buy but I wear it when I am in a more serious mood :) I will check out Ferragamo Pour Homme.
oh I need a new serious mood fragrance for sure! Cheers!
+Lanier Smith Cheers Lanier!
+Lanier Smith Cheers Lanier!

+Tal Mamatov It is an oldie but goodie in my book. Oh! Did someone say Gelato? Where is my spoon? Ciao
I've never give this one much consideration, but it sounds interesting so I'll have to give it a try. Wonderfully done, as usual.
+Jim R Thanks Jim! I hope if you try it you are not disappointed. What works for me may not work for you. But I hope it does! Cin Cin my friend.
Thank you again for a lovely presentation. I must commend you on how you painted a picture of the place. I could also smell the leather. Thanks again.
+Alvin Tshuma oh Alvin you are welcome. I love Italy and I think it shows when I talk about it. Ciao
It is one of my most favorite fragrances. To my nose, It feels balmy in the opening and drys down to something fantastic.
+venkatraman raguraman isn't it beautiful? Thanks for stopping buy. Ciao e grazie.
Precisely

fantastic review! I've always like your take on them. I have an off topic question though. Do you like jazz music?
+Michelle Ramses Jazz is one of my top favorite genres of music, as is R&B, and film soundtracks. I also enjoy music from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods.

+Daniel Hammond I guess like Marlene Dietrich in The Seven Sinners...I am a baaaaad influence. Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/ai336ekplTs/v-deo.html
lanier.. fot these kind of "not so strong" fragances, i'd like to know where and how many sprays you do. Thanks
+días de invierno five, both wrist , base of the neck, and behind each ear. Cheers!
Lanier, you are becoming my favorite fragrance reviewer on UA-cam. Great job, sir! Also, what is the song that plays at the beginning of all your videos?
+Ben Schaeffer Hey Ben thanks so much. The song is called Simple and it comes with my Ipad camera app.
Thanks Lanier...I actually enjoy this offering quite a bit!! Be well my friend.
+The Bopper Isn't it simply a great go to fragrance and with all that Italian dolce vita and glamour attached to the house. Just love it. Cin cin e Ciao amico mio!
"Tuscan Soul" is one of my faves, the Cologne is a little sweet but the stick deodorant and body cream are the best. Now I have to try this one!
+Kevin Mccoy let me know when you do try it.
Wonderful review

I smelled this for the first time today and loved it! I am crazy for fig!! Definitely my next fragrance. Cheers!!
Fabulous! Cheers to you too.
Nice fragrance - excellent price - I sort of get a Philosykos and even Costume National Homme vibe. Thanks for the video.
+bhaffar Oh that is very interesting. I do see what you mean espeically with Philosykos. Cheers!
Well I have my coffee.....great review,will recommend this to my friend sounds like something he would wear
