Gianfranco Ferré In the Mood for Love Man is a spicy, masculine scent that links a fresh opening of grapefruit, lavender and pepper to a woody base of patchouli and cedar.

Grapefruit, lavender and pepper lead the top, while orange blossom, coriander and cardamom add a soft, spicy heart. The base of patchouli, cedar and tonka bean pulls the scent in a woody, powdery direction, and the aquatic and synthetic accords keep it clean and fresh.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it makes itself felt without filling the room. It has been discontinued. Gianfranco Ferré Ferré Black and Police To Be (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
