The fragrance opens with notes of apple and lavender, which contrast delightfully with the earthy spice of the black pepper middle note. The base notes consist of labdunum, leather and amber. These deep woody notes give the fragrance a distinctively masculine elegance.

Salvatore Ferragamo founded his eponymous shoe company in 1927 and was the innovator of many shoe designs, such as the now-prevalent cage heel. After the designer’s death in 1960, the company continued to offer luxury leather goods, but also branched out to clothing, accessories and fragrances. The first Ferragamo fragrance was released in 1998. Since then, many Ferragamo fragrances have been created in collaboration with famed perfumers, including Marie Salagme and Olivier Polge.
