Ferruccio Blue by Tonino Lamborghini

I think Blue is probably just the color of the box, but as far as Im concerned, this IS a Blue Blu Bleue Blv fragrance. Theres a bright and lively (somewhat synthetic but no big deal) feel to the first fifteen twenty minutes after the fragrance is applied. Its so bright and citrusy that I could swear theres some verbena in there. There is also an airy lavender tint to that opening, which is a little bit too strong, but it quickly calms down to the pleasant, fresh, almost-skin scent. In the middle, the lavender is present, but doesnt come through very strongly, and the cleanliness of the rosemary and neroli seem to set the tone for the whole accord. I cant directly smell the thyme or the clove, but they are probably responsible for the tiny bit of sharp edge that frames the middle accord. I am not used to these clearly defined notes in automobile fragrances and Ferruccio (Blue) is a breath of fresh air in the quality it exhibits. It has a nice drydown; even though it is a trifle ordinary, its very pleasant. The fragrance has a soft sillage and a little less than average longevity. I like it.

These notes hold true: lavender is a major player here and the citrus top notes teeter on a heavy base of musk and I think there's some vanilla in here they're not telling us about. Overall, a good citrus and herbal musk.
