F by Ferragamo pour Homme Free Time ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 17 November 2010 8 Comments

F by Ferragamo pour Homme Free Time

Coming in January from Salvatore Ferragamo: F by Ferragamo pour Homme Free Time, a new fresh woody flanker to 2007's F by Ferragamo Pour Homme. It is meant to be a "more informal version" of the original fragrance (2009's F by Ferragamo pour Homme Black was the evening version).

F by Ferragamo Homme Free Time was developed by perfumer Olivier Polge; the notes include pink pepper, lemon, ginger, cardamom, white cedar, musk and vetiver.

F by Ferragamo pour Homme Free Time will be available in 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (via moodiereport)

    The notes sound perfect to me.

    I haven´t truly liked a ferragamo since the original Ferragamo for men.
    My only concern would be that this sounds too light.
    Perhaps this would be a great summer fragrance then. 🙂

      There are quite a few I haven’t tried, but I haven’t liked anything by Ferragamo either. The name of this one just cracks me up!

        What do you associate it with? I have so little “Free Time” that I am compelled to buy this just because of the name! hehehehehe.

        Other fragrances I might buy based on the names:
        “Free Frequent Flier Miles” “Free yearly renewal on your AMEX card”
        “Free Sushi” 🙂

          LOL…yes, I want free sushi!

          I don’t know if it is that I associate it with anything at all, it just sounds odd in a perfume name. You wouldn’t expect to see “F by Ferragamo Pour Homme Working Hours”, after all.

            I think they were aiming for the french “Loisir” and got lost in translation… If the original concept was in italian, then it would be the “Dolce Far Niente” (The sweet doing nothing) 🙂

            Mind you, I don´t speak french. This is just speculation based on thousand of awful perfume names that look as the result of poor machine-translations.

            And Loisir is quite a good sounding name, n est pas? 😉

            Yes, it would sound much better — esp. because it would mean nothing to me 😉

    I think Ferragamo is running out of names.

    F BLACK – THE GOOD NEWS IS, WOMAN HAVE GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TELL ME HOW GREAT I SMELL. THE BAD NEWS FOR ME IS, IT’S LIKE SENDING AN ALCOHOLIC INTO A BAR AT HAPPY HOUR. I LOVE IT!
