Gianfranco Ferré In The Mood For Love Tender is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Aliénor Massenet. In The Mood For Love Tender opens with Blackcurrant, Aldehydes, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cypress, and Benzoin. Gianfranco Ferré's In The Mood For Love Tender carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, airy whisper, while others are left wondering if they're smelling anything at all. If you love a subtle, clean scent that doesn't shout, this might be your jam, but don't expect a powerhouse.

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.

Its moderate longevity and subtle sillage make it perfect for office or casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. The fresh, clean character also makes it suitable for day-to-day activities and warmer weather, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opening with a bright, sparkly burst of aldehydes and juicy tangerine, tempered by a hint of tart blackcurrant, this fragrance immediately feels fresh and uplifting. It then settles into a soft, romantic heart where delicate rose and elegant jasmine entwine with the watery freshness of lotus. The drydown is a gentle caress of clean musk, a touch of earthy cypress, and the comforting warmth of benzoin, leaving a soft, airy trail.
