The Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Misteriosa Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Signorina Misteriosa has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why?

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Signorina Misteriosa opens with blackberry and neroli — an assertive first impression that carries across a room. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of tuberose and orange blossom. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: milk mousse, black vanilla husk and patchouli.

How It Performs: The Numbers
