Gianfranco Ferré Ferre is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Pierre Bourdon. Ferre opens with Bergamot, Iris, Melon, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Orris. Gianfranco Ferré's Ferre carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

A truly elegant, creamy iris that manages to be both classic and contemporary. It's a proper lady's scent, a softer, rounder sister to Iris Poudre, though some find it a bit too subtle or even screechy. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but a 'treasure' for others.

About

Ferre opens with a surprising splash of sweet melon and pineapple, quickly giving way to a rich, powdery iris heart. This is backed by a lush floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, and magnolia. The drydown is a harmonious blend of creamy sandalwood, soft musk, and warm amber, leaving a lingering, sophisticated trail.
