New Fragrance: Ferrari Cedar Essence - Ferrari

[TheDreamer]

Ferrari will launch Cedar Essence, a new fragrance for men. Cedar Essence joins the Essence series that includes Essence Oud, Silver Essence, Essence Musk and Leather Essence.

The fragrance comes packaged in a blue-and-silver box that features Ferrari's signature overstitching, with the scent's bottle inspired by the "Blu Tour de France" Ferrari GT car color and adorned with the Prancing Horse Logo in silver serigraphy.

The notes include orange, lime, grapefruit, ginger, mint, cedar, lavender, cardamom and watermelon.

Ferrari Cedar Essence will be available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

It should come with an miniature replica of the specific model of Ferrari the scent represents for those of us that can't afford the actual Car and model....lol

I'm always skeptical with car brand fragrances, but I do like seeing lime instead of lemon and the watermelon and grapefruit also make it sound interesting.

I wasn't too keen on trying Essence Musk until I saw it had a watermelon note as well. Both sound fresh, but cedar perhaps with a bit more contrast with notes.

Own Essence Oud and Silver Essence. Both are average fragrances. Not bad for the price.

Will give it a try at some point.

Now this sounds interesting. A younger Terre d'Hermes?

My first thoughts of this were if it might be like Chanel Bleu (color of bottle) or TDH (cedar notes).

Sounds like it will last for 30 mins..
Maybe an hour since it's and EDP..
Ferrari and Nautica seem more interested in quantity not quality..

C'arn T - you've been on these fora for a while, you have to have realised that Ferrari's doing an exclusifs-style range of frags that are a vast improvement on their stock standard releases.

They last very well and it's unfair to lump them in with the generic designer stuff that Nautica put out. I feel a lot of people have (quite rightly) had bad experiences with the previous Ferrari stuff, and are tarring the Essence range with the same brush.

I've got Silver Esssence and Essence Oud, would kill for a bottle of Leather Essence and would be keen to try Cedar Essence and Essence Musk. Silver Essence is like someone poured half a bottle of Quorum Silver into a half-full bottle of Costume National Homme - spicy cedar and cinnamon with some resin and wood.
I'd be interested to see this new cedar from Ferrari, but the notes are suggesting something much lighter than I prefer.

[Tony T]

Maybe I will..
I see Fragrance.net has silver essence at a nice price..
I am cutting back on FB'S..
Cape Heartache and Odori Tobacco will be my next 2 hopefully and that will be it for some time..
The Ferrari's I had in the past were terrible!!!

[timdoeswell]

Oh they are - I smelled Scuderia and Light Essence (not part of the Essence range, despite the name) after I smelled Essence Oud and they were indeed quite crappy by comparison.

Ferrari Uomo isn't part of the range either, but it's in a bottle in the same style as the Essence range.

Anything with "cedar" in the name scares me because I'm not fond of the likes of GPH I, Dirty English and Tommy Bahama....but this note breakdown sounds delicious!!!

I can vouch for the deliciousness of Oud, Silver and Leather.....Ferrari must be struggling with loosing their old rep.....:-)

This, love the silver essence, amazing scent. I actually find Ferrari scents to have, in general, more value than most designer and niche. They're on the top of my list at all times.

Sadly the essence line are too rich for my blood. Found a couple testers of silver for dirt cheap and snagged them. It's my favorite anyway, of these! I find oud frags extremely boring and yesterday's news, leather too.

[vawallpa]

Essence Musk is great. Still need to try Leather Essence, Essence Oud and now Cedar Essence

[whatsmells]

Looks like a average cologne.

[graffham]

Whoa...a $146 price tag?

[sjg3839]

Kind of steep for that item.
