Ferrari Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999. Black opens with Red Apple, Bergamot, Lime, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Ferrari's Black carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Ferrari Black is a tricky one. Many love its fruity-sweet vanilla aroma, especially for the price, but the truly shocking performance often turns that love into frustration. It's a crowd-pleaser that just doesn't stick around.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its poor longevity and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or situations where you don't need a scent to last, like a short gym session. It's too fleeting for formal events but its pleasant, inoffensive nature works for offices if reapplied.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a juicy burst of red apple and plum, sharpened by zesty bergamot and lime, then warms into a heart of spicy cinnamon and cardamom, softened by delicate rose and jasmine. The drydown settles into a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla and amber, grounded by musk and cedar, creating a sweet, warm, and inviting trail that unfortunately vanishes far too quickly.
