Gianfranco Ferré GF Ferre Lui-Him is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Jean-Charles Niel. GF Ferre Lui-Him opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, Artemisia, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Nutmeg, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Benzoin, and Incense. Gianfranco Ferré's GF Ferre Lui-Him carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This retro gem is a divisive creature: those who love it rave about its unique charm, while others lament its fleeting presence. It's a proper grown-up scent that deserves a renaissance, if only it stuck around longer.

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.

About

GF Ferre Lui-Him opens with a captivating blend of invigorating bergamot and aldehydic freshness, spiced up by aromatic cardamom and artemisia. As it settles, a warm, slightly powdery heliotrope emerges, interwoven with nutty nutmeg and a hint of coriander. The drydown reveals a sophisticated base of earthy patchouli, resinous benzoin, and a subtle smoky incense, all grounded by elegant cedar.
