F1 Parfums Turn 1 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2021, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Turn 1 opens with Angelica, Spicy Notes, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Oakmoss and Violet Leaf, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Patchouli. F1 Parfums's Turn 1 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

If you're after a softer, greener take on Dior Sauvage that won't totally empty your wallet, Turn 1 by F1 Parfums is worth a sniff. For those who find Sauvage too loud, this offers a more subdued, yet still familiar, vibe. It's a crowd-pleaser that won't break new ground, but it's a solid everyday choice.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Turn 1 kicks off with a fresh, juicy mandarin orange, quickly joined by an aromatic, slightly spicy Angelica that hints at greenness. As it settles, violet leaf brings a clean, aquatic touch, whilst earthy oakmoss and patchouli lay down a woody, musky foundation. It's a scent that balances freshness with a classic masculine warmth, never dipping into anything too challenging or avant-garde.
