Heavy hitting fruitchouli for men
I used to wear a couple of Maurice Roucel creations in past years, Man's Eau de Toilette and Gai Mattiolo Uomo Eau de Toilette, to be accurate, firm, and brave the former, light and bubbly the latter. I came across the fabulous TL pour Lui Eau de Toilette, and more lately, I discovered two other gems, Bogart pour Homme Eau de Toilette and Voyage Eau de Toilette, and now Forte. I seem I like Roucel's cologne quite a bit. Scuderia Forte occupied the bargain shelf of a perfume store; the 75ml size was discounted and offered 15 euro like its sibling Ferrari Black. After comparing them on a paper strip, I opted for Forte was something so captivating going on. I don't think it's entirely up to par with the Essence line, but it seems like it would be a decent workhorse frag. Scuderia Ferrari Forte is not a kind of Ferrari Black flanker, in my opinion. It is a new fragrance, which follows the current market for shareable, fruity, and sweetened perfumes that are successful at night but can also be worn during the day.

Forte is a non-linear cologne that goes through fruity, woody, and oriental stages. I've smelled this a few times on paper and was impressed. A gleaming and chilly start of Italian lemon, pineapple, and crispy apple opens the game on my skin. The sweet pineapple, which is abused in modern scents with Aventus above all, melts with the crisp apple skin and the zesty lemon peel, and the outcome is everything but off-putting. The first thing I get is fruity; the apple is dominant, with like a vanilla-pineapple accord in the background. The result is a fragrance of fruity and delicious output, which does not become cloying thanks to the presence of lemon. Incredibly, both apple and pineapple are perfectly balanced and bring an air of modernity.

The heart unveils an extrovert temperament expressed by cinnamon, fleshy juicy plum, and bright orange flowers. As it evolves, the plum covers the effervescent content of the orange blossom as if it were a soft layer of velvet. Without it, we would probably have a fragrance that would walk toward the same proposal of Silver Scent, for example. However, the cinnamon note was very noticeable to me, and it shows now and then.

Finally, the base takes time to appear, but it has a denser and fuller side when it arises. The dry down uncovers a daring woody-oriental closing vibrant of cedarwood, powdery vanilla, and musky patchouli that exhibits a healthy and assertive personality. Finally, as the frag draws to a close, you get this caramelized patchouli along with the synthetic fruitiness of the opening.

After wearing it for a night, not only has it grown on me, but it has a lot of power and gets a lot of compliments. It smells like a mix of many other fragrances currently on the market; nonetheless, it has its character. The scent has a fantastic performance. The dry down is not cheap with screechy woods or boring ambroxan. Though I do sense a lot of Iso E in the base, but not by itself, it blends well with vanilla and some fruity nuances from the opening. The fragrance does not have an absurd projection, even an Eau de Parfum. It has gained strength, and I feel that exudes well, but only for me and for those who are close, really close. It is not a scent that leaves a trace. In contrast, close to the other fragrances of the Scuderia line, the lasting has significantly improved, remaining more than nine hours on the skin. It is a spring fragrance for evening and night out.

Fruity Sweet
On spray it is quite sweet and fruity.
Plum and ripe pineapple come to mind.
Aas others have mentioned the cinnamon i also detect, but just slightly.
It is also quite strong in the opening.
Bought it for 25 bucks which is actually not much at all for this quality and 125 ml.
I kinda don't reach out much to it, i guess too much sweetness.

It's wonderful! Sweet, fruity, vanilla, warm, clean...
This is not a review from a perfume expert, I'm just an enthusiast who wants to help.

It is very characteristic and very strong, just like the name. If you are looking for a perfume to use in clubs, a date, bar and similar, it works excellently. Made for night use, mild temperature, cold or even a hot night as long as you don't abuse it with your finger in the sprayer.

Sexy, sensual, alpha male, attractive, a masculine scent (I don't see a woman wearing this perfume). That's how it is... Wherever you go, people will ask where and who this smell comes from, it draws praise for being striking and it is to be considered that it is your signature. You will definitely rock wherever you are if that's your intention.

Be careful when spraying, the name is not for nothing! Depending on where you are, it can suffocate everyone around you.

The projection lasts an average of one hour to two hours. Fixation lasts an average of four to five hours.

Of course, if you eat well, if you hydrate yourself, you will have a considerable improvement in performance (not forgetting your skin type as well).

Ah, it's pretty cheap for what it offers. It has some similarities (not a clone) to Stronger With You.

an open horse-drawn carriage instead of the expected bolide
My preference for the "fast red racers" from Maranello is well known.
That's why I often browse through the men's fragrances to sniff out how many horsepower might be packed into the red and black flacons.
Today, I was eyeing the shower gels on offer at Müller; but then I thought about my not-so-small stock here and dropped the idea.
And yet, I was looking for a test flacon and found "Scuderia Ferrari - Forte": the excitement grew!
"Forte" sounds promising: I could already hear the noise in the pit lane at the Formula 1 races.

I discovered a very friendly, fruity-fresh scent that I could really enjoy as a light summer refreshment, e.g. after sports.
The fruity mix that greets me is original: pineapple and apple go quite well together, and the lemon adds a certain freshness kick!
Cinnamon, plum, and orange blossom form an ensemble that is delightful on its own.
Together with the fresh-fruity entrée, an unusual overall note emerges: refreshing fruits complemented by warm nuances.
Therefore, the expected tingling - even in the nose - is absent.
The base pleasantly rounds off this fragrance: the warm, sensuous vanilla and a pleasant patchouli note blend well with the herb-spicy cedar note.
All this results in a likable-fresh summer blend that is almost a bit too delicate and fine for a pure men's fragrance.

As a refreshing in-between, "Scuderia Ferrari - Forte" is very welcome to me.
Longevity and sillage correspond to an eau de toilette; frequent re-spraying is certainly not unwelcome. Especially on very warm summer days.
The flacons are all uninspired: it's a pity, really, because the bodies of the vehicles are quite different. Probably, the concentrated creativity ends up there.

Thus, the expectation of a fragrance bolide, further supported by the name addition "Forte," is not fulfilled here.
This Ferrari is more like a wonderfully light carriage, pulled by content little horses trotting along, while the sunshade flutters amusingly in the breeze.
So it is quite possible that this somewhat leisurely Ferrari will find a parking spot with me.

Ferrari with Fruity Fuel
The fragrances from the house of Ferrari often fall into oblivion or are not even considered.
However, many of them, such as Bright Neroli, Amber Essence, or Radiant Bergamot, boast great quality.
Among them is this little speedster here, which I ordered blindly due to the appealing scent notes.
And I am glad that I made that decision.

About the scent:
The countdown is on, and the Scuderia starts off very fruity with a hint of apple and pineapple.
It doesn't take long for the plum to accelerate and take the lead throughout the entire scent journey.
On the home stretch, the plum is quickly joined by light cinnamon and woods, forming a trio on the track.
Thanks to the swift arrival of the woods, the scent never becomes too sweet or too fruity and doesn’t stumble around the corners.
Before the final sprint, a fine vanilla makes an appearance, bringing the Scuderia and its scent notes across the finish line.
The great thing about this fragrance is the perfectly balanced harmony of the notes.
There’s nothing annoying or any note that overwhelms your nose.
Overall, it’s a lovely mix of light strength and a relaxed scent progression.

H/S:
Thanks to minimal pit stops, the Scuderia lasts relatively long on the skin.
For me, it was about 7 hours.
I find the projection to be pleasant; it’s neither strong nor weak.

Bottle:
I like it thanks to its black-red coloring.
The spray head delivers a good spray, but the cap is unfortunately poorly made.

I see the Scuderia as a TOP all-rounder.
You can use it without hesitation for work and everyday life, as well as for evenings or hobbies, at any time of the year. (Best for spring though)
The only downside is the price.
Just half a year ago, I got it for only 20€.
Today, unfortunately, you have to shell out almost fifty bucks for it, which raises some concerns.
Despite everything, my absolute favorite from Ferrari, also because I am a fan of sweeter fragrances.
So, anyone looking for a perfect all-rounder and who enjoys fruity, sweet scents with a slightly fresh touch will find what they are looking for here.

A dark, suffocating fragrance with a very repulsive synthetic scent ... oriental, fruity, sweet.
This mixture is enough to make you faint.

Somehow I got a new car scent in the opening which quickly turned to a plumb blast, balanced with the other fruits. Good if you like plumb

Very good perfume, with a very well worked vanilla and with a fruity touch at the beginning (plums?). Soft silage but good longevity.

Beautiful fruity-vanilla-spice combo scent. In the later stages, I notice similarities with "Stronger With You" (but not a clone).

On very warm summer days like today, an interesting and light fragrance that exudes a southern flair, even for female boundary pushers!

The candy stand at the fair: roasted candied almonds, nuts, popcorn. Not unlike Stronger With You. A candidate for washing off.
