F! (2006)
by Fragonard

F! boasts "Juniperberry, black pepper, verbena and bergamot sparkle on a heart of nutmeg, clove, and guaiacum wood all on a background of amber, cedar wood, leather and patchouli". The opening blast reveals there's also some menthol at work, to the point that I was reminded of Icy-Hot or those mentholated Hall's cough drops. Well, the way I see it, I already have M7 to take care of my cough medicine desires. Once it settled down it was a nice herbal scent, but just this side of generic. This is my first experience with Fragonard and it's a bit of a misstep. I'm hoping I'll find something in the future to balance out this. Average goin' on middling.

F! is a light, refreshing scent. It has pleasant citrus and juniper notes which provide a crisp counterpoint to the rich and woody spice base. This would be a good day/work fragrance. It is of high quality and is elegant. Despite all of that, it is not quite to my taste... but it may suit others very well.
