 This is probably the best Ferrari fragrance that I've ever smelled. Hey what's up guys this is Josh here today I want to do a little review on this Ferrari's Scudra Forte. This is the third Ferrari fragrance that I'm reviewing. I reviewed the original F Black. It was okay just not for me and then I reviewed Brighton Aroli which I really really liked. Very high quality didn't last that long I just found it to be too feminine so it's my second go around here or actually third go around with the Ferrari line. Let's jump into the notes of this fragrance. To be honest personally I don't really get too many of these notes. There were several times where I was double checking to make sure I had the right bottle and I was also watching other fragrance reviewers. They were kind of describing it way differently than I was so I was like man I don't know if this has been reformulated or if I have the right bottle but from everything that I could see this is the correct bottle. The notes online are plum, vanilla, cinnamon, pineapple, apple and patchouli. To be honest I don't really get many of those notes. The notes that I get are green apple with a little bit of challengingness to it. I don't know if it's like a medicinal or a little bit of musk but overall green apple and then there's kind of like this background of this graininess and it's kind of like weird having a graininess in a fragrance like this usually something like Versace Porum or Dolce & Gabbana's light blue where it's very citrusy and very fresh that's where they use the graininess. It is a little bit unusual for a fragrance like this to contain that graininess and I also do think that when I was testing this I wasn't super impressed. I noticed that once it became nighttime and this got on the air it did smell a lot better. It does have a general amount of sweetness so that makes sense that the sweetness kind of smells better at nighttime and in the winter and fall. It improved what I thought of the smell once I smelled it at night. Let's jump into the pros of this fragrance. The pros I think it's a slight improvement to Ferrari F Black. Now Ferrari F Black had a lot of that green apple style smell. A lot of the same elements are going into this. This is about 70% 80% of Ferrari Black but Ferrari Black didn't have that graininess and Ferrari Black was a little bit more simple. To be honest I'm not a super super big fan of this green apple style smell and on top of that it doesn't smell the most hard to create or the most natural. It has a little bit of syntheticness to it so I'm not super super unbore with the green apple and I think this one actually pulls it off better than F Black in my opinion. So if you liked Ferrari F Black I do recommend this one being better for me personally. Then it was very interesting the way that it used that graininess kind of to put that in a pro. In the air and in the dry down it is a lot more well blended but I do appreciate that they kind of wanted to do something different. I don't have anything that smells like green apple with this graininess so it almost creates a little bit of its own unique smell in the designer game. So that's pretty nice. And then the last big pro here is that the dry down smells very very good. If you're somebody who found the opening to be a little strong again the only time that I find that it's to be too strong is when you spray it and you get really really up close there you can see the distinct green apple and graininess and it just is a little bit of a confusing scent right up close but like in the air much much more smooth and then the dry down like I was saying is its best part it is a little bit more safe and likeable but I really really did like the dry down on this one that was definitely the best part in my opinion. Let's go on to the cons. The cons is that there's a slight medicinal cheapness to it that's really kind of hard for me to get around. I do smell it. I've smelled it the whole time that I've sprayed it. I've slowly started to like this fragrance a little bit more but this is one of those ones that I just tried to like it a lot in the beginning and it just wasn't really clicking the way that other fragrances have. I think overall it smells pretty good in the right environment. It has a little bit of this sweetness and people were saying it's not the best for work. It definitely doesn't have that robust work style smell and even for clubbing and things like that I would go with something else and it is a tad cheap smell and then it doesn't last super super long although people say you shouldn't spray it four or five times because it is so strong. It doesn't really last super long although it is above average. Probably give this one a 7.5 for the smell. I've been trying to figure it out but overall because of my likeability for it because it was it took me so long to learn to appreciate this and I was spraying it and I was wanting to wear other stuff when I smelled it on me. I'm gonna have to give this one a 7.5 likeability. I'm gonna have to give this a straight 7.5 too. There's not too much that makes me think that everyone's gonna hate it or love it kind of right in the middle and it has elements that are likable but also has elements that I don't think are as likable either so 7.5 seems good. For longevity and projection I'll give this between a 7 to a 7.5. I will say when I first sprayed this up I think it lasted between 10 and 12 hours on my skin which I was actually a little surprised. I kind of felt like this was going to be like a 6 to 8 hour fragrance so 7 to 7.5. This was a very right down the middle entry. I do think it is better than Ferrari F Black. This is probably the best Ferrari fragrance that I've ever smelled but I haven't been wowed enough by Ferrari yet. I think I got this for about $25 maybe 27 after tax. I watched another guy's video where he paid like $80 for this and bought multiple bottles. It doesn't smell that good to me. Maybe it's been reformulated. I don't know. This is just a very solid entry and for people who like Ferrari Black I would say this is a little bit better. I guess if I was going to give you a suggestion to get instead of this I would go with Bentley's Momentum Intense. It's sweet. You kind of wear it around the same time. You could probably get away with Momentum Intense around work a little bit better. I think it smells better in the daytime. I just say Momentum Intense probably does everything that this does but Momentum Intense is a little bit better. Nonetheless I am not sad that I tried this. Very interesting to try this. I really like the bottle. I really liked a lot of stuff they did here and I can't wait to come across a Ferrari fragrance that truly wows me and forces me to put one on the top 10 and also others love the name Ferrari. There's so many car companies but Ferrari just it's so high class and it's so easy to say and it even sounds better than something like Lamborghini even though I used to like Lamborghini more than Ferrari's. Ferrari it's just got that clean ritzy sounding name. I really do enjoy it but anyways guys let me know which fragrances I should review next. Let me know which Ferrari fragrances I should also check out. We're on the road of 25,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any of your guys' help. You guys are the best. I'm having a great day out here. Hopefully having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
