Ferragamo F By Ferragamo Free Time

Synthetic citrus in the open of loud grapefruit, bergamot that quickly recedes to a sharp, enduring, more natural lemon. The citrus in this has great staying power, you can easily encounter an hour of fresh lemon. As the lemon blast softens, the vetiver, ginger, and cedar emerges. Sillage is moderate but will likely be louder in summer temperatures. The scent cloud withers away within two hours to skin scent but at close sniff, it remained on a test card and clothing for over 24 hours, beat only by Versace Blue Jeans, which I tested for longevity at the same time (also with Chrome Legend and Halston Man, both much shorter lived). The bottle shape is pleasing and hefty, as is the gradient blue coloring of the glass, but the spray mechanism and top trim is a cheap plastic, the "Pour Homme" font is similarly cheap-looking so I ripped the plastic part off and the bottle looks much better without it. This is a viable alternative to or layering partner with Versace Eau Fraiche or a woods heavy scent. Yes, it's not a signature scent, but a neutral sport or hot weather friend, and at a bargain on ebay or in stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls.

what a beauty, under rated, aromatic fresh spicy fragrance, very close to the latest formulation of dior homme sport 2017 version, but of course not the same, coz it doesnt have sandalwood or iris, also costs less than half the price of dior homme sport, love the bottle, love the smell, its not niche but good for everyday man, day version of very popular F black, reviewers need to talk about these kind of fragrances more, those who have cravings for very up class complex niche fragrances wont like it, but it will appeal to masses, nice lemon, pepper, ginger, cardamom and vetiver woody combo.very decent performance too, good for summer and spring

SF for me is one of the better designers. I have all the F’s and Free Time opens with beautiful blast of citrus, I get a hint of ginger, but the opening reminds me of the Italian drink Lemoncella. As it dries down pink pepper shows up but on me only last a short while while the bottom end shows up. A nice touch of the three (vetiver, cedar and white musk) and they all compliment each other. On me this is a little above average in performance. The 3 of the F’s give you year round performance. F homme cooler spring and fall, F Black, colder Winter and Free Time warmer, summer. Blind buy, Yes! On all three!

I know F Black from this flanker line tends to get the most love on YouTube and fragrance forums but this may very well be my favorite from the F series. This is an extremely versatile warm weather fragrance and it definitely still has that F series DNA in there. I've worn this in the office, casually running errands, outside dinner dates, at the beach, etc. I would say the only occasion this wouldn't work would be something formal. Longevity isn't the greatest and the silliage is moderate at best but for the budget price point you still get your money's worth and more. 8.5/10

Minus the aquatic notes, it has a similar freshness and citrus of the original 90's ADG with musk and pepper added. Lots of Cardamom and Pepper in the drydown after the Lemon and ozonic notes are gone...dries down to be similar to Pasha Declaration. Top notes of Lemon and Ginger fade after about 20-30 minutes. Longevity is 5-6 hours tops on my skin...most of it being spice and green notes. Still one of the best summer cheapies that is not overly sweet and youthful. A universally good and safe office smell.
