Italian fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo looks again to their own city’s heritage and drinks in its inspiration for a new fragrance. Ferragamo’s headquarters building, Palazzo Spini Feroni, is not far from the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore, and it was this building that influenced the creation of Cupola, the new edition of the Tuscan Creations line.
600 years after its construction, the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore dominates the landscape of Florence. It’s the city’s greatest icon, the protagonist of its amazing Italian architecture. The star of the skyline, it is the extraordinary masterwork of an engineering prodigy, conceived by the creative genius of Filippo Brunelleschi. The dome of this cathedral still remains an unsolved mystery. The largest brick dome ever built, this was the first monument to consecrate architecture to the status of both artistic and scientific disciplines.
Perfumers Luca Maffei and Antoine Lie celebrate this masterpiece with an olfactory ode representing the bond between Heaven and Earth, insolence and rigor, limit and immensity. Cupola is an olfactive painting of the divine mystery. It embodies a feeling of substantial harmony that elevates the soul of those who wear it.
The fashion house describes the scent as a subtle freshness of vivid tangerine and green angelica, immediately rounded with soft leathery saffron, reminiscent of intimate rays of sunshine on the cupola. The majesty of the cathedral stands high toward the sky as a mystical bridge between earthy, sophisticated orris and precious amber, sublimated by deep tones of labdanum. Clear as a celebration of its magnificence, a resinous warm amber envelops the beauty of sacred woods: dark patchouli and smoky gaiac wood.
Salvatore Ferragamo Cupola is available as 100ml Eau de Parfum at Salvatore Ferragamo Boutiques and selected stores worldwide. Come into the beautiful world of Salvatore Ferragamo.
Fresh and dreamy, Signorina Eau de Parfum combines bright fizzy notes of currant spiced by bright pink pepper to bring a joyful, cheeky character. Dewy fresh jasmine, rosy peony and the femininity of rose come together to creative floral aspect whilst the airy, creamy texture of panna cotta blends together with soft musks and patchouli offering a racy Italian elegance and an unexpected addictiveness.
Created by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Marie Salamagne, Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo Urban Feel is the fresher and younger alternative in this line, encapsulating the urban edge and charm of a metropolitan city. Tiramisu and ice coffee signed the first two chapters, dark coffee took centre stage in the third and in this fourth chapter, Alberto Morillas and Marie Salamagne wanted to explore the most mineral and bitter facets of the ingredient. At the top, the energetic breeze of an ozonic accord embraces the perfume with its salty notes alongside bursts of fresh citrus and aromatic clary sage that enhance the striking coffee aroma.
Coming in sizes including 75 cm, 85 cm and 95 cm, making it perfect for the ladies, or even men who aren’t afraid to dress up, it is priced at $495 each, and you will be able to find the belt available across Salvatore Ferragamo boutiques worldwide now in either Black or Saddle Brown.
Created by perfumers Sophie Labbe and Juliette Karagueuzoglou, the Signorina fragrance is conceived as a floral-fruity and sophisticated gourmand. The fragrance plays with top notes of sparkling pink pepper and redcurrants, whilst the heart blossoms with rose, peony and jasmine. Finally, the sensuality of musk, patchouli and delicious creamy pannacotta blend to form the base.
Created both for Ferragamo man and woman, it spreads a seductive aura, an unforgettable wake in the air. A scent that makes me close my eyes and just enjoy its skillful construction. It can be worn by either gender, and it is definitely worth examining.
