F1 IV F1 Parfums arrived in 2020 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. A unisex fragrance from the fern and east families. Perfumer Ross Lovegrove left a distinct mark on this composition. F1 IV — a proud member of the Collector Editions collection. Released in perfume extract.
Country of origin — the United Kingdom, and that already says something about the quality. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The scent of F1 IV evolves as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach of F1 Parfums comes through from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
From the first breath you catch piquant warm first notes: Black Pepper and Cypress. These 2 notes set piquant dynamism that is impossible to miss.
When the opening settles you sense Iris and Narcissus keeping a velvety rose-iris direction. In the base the line is anchored through Leather accord and Tonka bean, extending a smoky suede trail.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Spicy, Wood, Floral and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Leather and Gourmet. At family level the fragrance belongs to East and Fern.
In summary F1 IV reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
