Our verdict on F by Ferragamo Black: Favourite

This one's a mixed bag, to be fair. Widely available and affordable, it's either a versatile, clean-spicy winner or a powder bomb that'll have you smelling like baby wipes. There's no middle ground with F Black.

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, slightly spicy accords make it suitable for office wear, especially during cooler months. The warm, inviting dry-down lends itself well to date nights, but some caution is needed as some find it too powdery for formal settings. It's too heavy for sports or hot weather.

About

F Black opens with a brisk, slightly tart apple note blended with a clean burst of lavender. This quickly gives way to a vibrant heart of black pepper and a hint of earthy coriander, adding a sophisticated edge. The dry-down is smooth and lingering, with warm tonka bean providing a creamy, sweet powderiness, backed by the subtle, resinous depth of labdanum. It's a modern aromatic-spicy blend that walks the line between freshness and warmth.
