Pure Lavender Ferrari 2015

The fragrances of car brands often have a bad reputation, which unfortunately is confirmed by the abundance of scents. However, there are also some really good exceptions.

This one, in my opinion, is only partially successful. In the opening, the Provençal lavender note reminds me of Pour un homme de Caron, but it is already noticeably softer and sweeter here.
While PuhdC initially starts with a citrus-sharp lavender note, here the citrus part seems to quickly transition into the heart note, with only a hint of cardamom briefly detectable.

The lavender increasingly disappears behind the sage after a short time and is almost immediately accompanied by vanilla from the very start of the fragrance. Together with patchouli, the scent becomes very sweet after a while, and it is at this point that Ferrari Pure Lavender clearly differs from Caron. While the latter glides into a multifaceted smooth vanilla note, the Ferrari simply becomes very, very sweet and quite synthetic, which gives me a headache after some time. I can't quite perceive the cashmere wood, but I don't want to doubt that it is present in the base note's background.

While the opening of the fragrance is very promising, I agree with Ajlen that the further development of the scent is disappointing. Overall, the longevity is quite good at 8 hours for me, but unfortunately, the beautiful opening fades away too quickly.
For me, unfortunately, not a candidate for the collection; however, if you like sweet or even gourmand scents and don't mind a certain level of synthetics, you should definitely give this one a try.
