Ferrari will launch the Ferrari Essence Collection, with three unisex fragrances: Noble Fig, Bright Neroli and Pure Lavender.
Noble Fig ~ "Enveloping sensuality with its refreshing resinous sap, crisp green leaves, bitter stems and milky flesh, the fig evokes images of sitting under the cool shade of a fig tree somewhere in the sunbaked Mediterranean and biting into the juicy flesh of this fruit. This sophisticated citrus, green, woody scent opens like a fresh breeze, with the bright and crunchy note of fig leaf, whose earthy tones are uplifted by hints of spicy pink peppercorn and mandarin. Heart notes of clary sage and orris play on the duality of freshness and warmth, while sensual notes of musk and patchouli create a memorable signature."
Bright Neroli ~ "Zesty top notes of petit grain citronnier, Calabrian lemon and the great bitterness of the Bigarrade orange open this citrus, woody, aromatic composition with a surge of sophisticated freshness. These bright lively notes give way to a radiant heart of orange flower absolute and charismatic Neroli essence, which reveals its spicy facets under the influence of rosemary and Sichuan pepper. At the base, vetiver, patchouli and ambroxide bring an ambery elegance to the composition."
Pure Lavender (shown) ~ "This modern and sophisticated citrus, aromatic, woody scent opens with the incisive and sparkling notes of bergamot, lemon sfuma (juicy, pulpy, slightly sweet) and cardamom essence. While at its heart, a refined blend of invigorating sage absolute and aromatic lavandin gives the whole composition an extremely elegant character. Base notes of addictive vanilla, mysterious patchouli and warm cashmere wood add intensity, depth and masculinity creating a unique signature."
Ferrari Noble Fig, Bright Neroli and Pure Lavender will be available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette, €75 each.

Do people pretty much put car brand fragrances in the same boat as celebrity scents, or do they rank even lower?
Good question. No idea, but would guess many people would buy something that said “Ferrari” before they’d buy something that said “Paris Hilton” or “Katy Perry” or “Lady Gaga”.
I’d rank them lower, except that you can’t go lower than some of the D-list “celebrities” that have managed to get fragrance deals. So I suppose car brands equal C-list names.
