Tuscan Soul - Terra Rossa Salvatore Ferragamo

Bergamot and bitter orange explode with immediate brightness, cutting through rose essential's green, almost wine-like character. The citrus feels almost caustic against the floral, establishing a tension that prevents any softness from taking hold. It's crisp, slightly tart, vaguely Mediterranean.

As the citrus fades, patchouli and cypress emerge with quiet authority, transforming the composition into something decidedly earthy and faintly resinous. Labdanum wraps around these middle notes with a warm, almost tobacco-scented embrace, whilst the spice accord intensifies—not as heat, but as dryness, like inhaling dusty air. The rose recedes into memory.

Amber and tonka bean create a soft, almost powdery base that never quite turns sweet, remaining resolutely woody and amber-forward. The fragrance becomes a whisper of resin and earth, clinging faintly to skin as an abstract suggestion of spice and dried botanicals rather than a distinct presence. Within hours, it becomes a skin scent—present only if you seek it.
