Any experiences with this one? I ordered it blind yesterday and am curious as to what I might expect!

Can`t tell you anything about this one...I just had to mention in this context that I`m still anxiously waiting for those comments about GFF M (Ferre) to show up...So if anyone can tell, please do.

I tried GFF Bergamote Marine. Citrus Eau de cologne with marine accord very interesting, confortable and long lasting.

Ok, thanks guys! I guess it says Bergamot Marine at the bottom of the label, the part that's hard to see. Looking forward to this one!

Will report back soon!

I tried it last week and was really impressed. Starts fresh, aquatic, not-so-interesting and then turns to a soft, subtle and surprisingly long-lasting , clean fragrance. I'll get a bottle for sure.

Arigatou Ta-kun!

I got my bottle today and I love it - this will be perfect for summer heat. Light, fresh, slightly floral (lily, jasmine and neroli all make brief appearrances before blending into the composition), slightly marine with that special hint of motu, and a very pleasant might musk base. It reminds me of CSP Motu with a softer floral and citric opening and not as strong algae notes in the base. At the price I paid, $30 for a 50ml, it was totally worth it and in my opinion the best Ferre scent yet.

Am I the only one who thought for an instant that my local department store counter had picked up Frédéric Malle? I glanced at the bottle of the new Ferre Bergamotto Marino cologne, and thought, "Yeeeeha! Oh, wait..."

I like the fresh citrus/marine opening, and that's saying something, as marine notes usually aren't my thing. The drydown I find just a little cloying. Is it the patchouli? I like the sound of everything else. I'll have to try it again. Luckily the SA gave me a sample.
