There is just something about fine Italian perfumes that has my interest from the beginning. Salvatore Ferragamo is just one of those luxury designers I wanted to learn more about. When I first came across Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Femme, I couldn't help but be attracted by the bold red Salvatore Ferragamo signed across the front of the cream-colored box.
To me, the coloring brings to mind a confident woman who can carry off this classic fragrance. The tall, elegantly twisted glass bottle lends to the feel of assertiveness and confidence.

This perfume is perfectly suited to a woman who can command attention of those she's with and feel comfortable once she receives it.

Introduced in 1998, Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Femme is a fragrance that is best suited to the mature woman. It is a complex fragrance with floral, fruity and grassy notes with a touch of spice.  The floral notes are definitely understated and at first scent, I would not have classified this as a floral fragrance at all. For me, the most noticeable notes are citrus with a touch of spice.  The scent brings to mind citrus, bergamot, a touch of star anise and a hint of floral from the peony notes.

I love the understated floral notes of this perfume, but I think that the spice notes definitely overwhelm them a bit. This isn't as feminine a perfume as I'd like it to be. The floral notes would need to be just a bit stronger to really carry off a true girly feel. 

It wears well for about four hours before it needs to be reapplied again. This makes it the perfect perfume to wear in the evening. Just don't expect to leave the scent of Pour Femme in your wake because the sillage is rather weak on this perfume.

All in all, Salvatore Ferragamo Pour Femme makes a wonderful scent for a special evening out. It's mature, mysterious and definitely sexy.   It's the perfect compliment for a woman with the confidence to carry it off. You may want to carry along a bottle in your handbag for reapplication during the evening.
