Signorina Misteriosa
by Salvatore Ferragamo
Signorina Misteriosa is a gourmand fragrance with a prominent blackberry and vanilla core, creating a sweet, creamy, and indulgent aroma that resembles a berry dessert or a milk-based cream cake. The opening features a tart, juicy blackberry that mingles with neroli and orange blossom, offering a bright and fruity introduction. As it develops, the fragrance settles into a smooth, milky, and vanilla-forward base with subtle hints of tuberose and patchouli, giving it a slightly more complex, earthy depth. The overall impression is one of consistent sweetness—pleasant to some, overwhelming to others—making it ideal for cooler seasons and evening wear. While many appreciate its pleasant, cozy, and feminine character, some perceive it as overly synthetic, cloying, or lacking depth. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, with most users noting it lasts about 4–6 hours and projects moderately. The bottle and packaging are praised for their elegant design, though the scent itself often feels more like a sweet, linear indulgence than a mysterious or dark revelation.
