Salvatore Ferragamo
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
A sharp, dark fruit puncture—blackberry skin against your nose—immediately tempered by neroli's crisp, almost medicinal edge. The two notes don't harmonise so much as debate, creating an initial sense of edgy curiosity rather than immediate warmth.
The tuberose blooms with creamy, slightly indolic insistence, softening the fruit's sharpness into something more rounded. Orange blossom weaves beneath it with a subtle, almost powdered delicacy—the accords shift from fruity provocation to powdery florality, the sweetness becoming more pronounced without ever cloying.
The patchouli emerges with dry, slightly leathered undertones, anchoring vanilla in something earthy and restrained. What remains is a soft, powdery sweetness with backbone—intimate rather than projective, lingering closer to skin than air.
Signorina Misteriosa announces itself as a contradiction—a fragrance caught between the austere and the indulgent, between whispered intrigue and outright seduction. Sophie Labbé has crafted something deliberately unsettled here: blackberry's dark, slightly tart insistence clashes beautifully with neroli's sharp, almost brittle brightness, creating an opening that feels almost confrontational in its refusal to settle into easy prettiness.
The heart is where the fragrance reveals its true nature. Orange blossom and tuberose—those twin pillars of classic femininity—don't soften the blackberry so much as elevate it, lending an almost creamy texture to the initial tartness. There's a powdery undertone that prevents this from becoming simply floral; instead, it reads as sophisticated restraint, as though the gardenia-like tuberose has been dusted with talc and left in a wardrobe of dark fabrics.
