Savane di Seta
by Salvatore Ferragamo
Savane di Seta opens with a vibrant, citrusy burst reminiscent of lemon zest and fresh grass, creating a light, energetic impression. The initial notes feel unexpectedly bright rather than powdery or woody, leading some to detect a shimmery, almost soap-like freshness akin to citrusy gin or a sun-warmed field. Over time, the fragrance settles into a soft, powdery-iris base with subtle sandalwood and a faint earthy, musky depth. The progression is gentle and unobtrusive, with sillage that remains moderate to intimate. It performs well on hot days and suits daytime wear, though longevity is limited — most agree it lasts only up to four hours.
Pros
- +A refreshing, sunlit opening that feels cheerful and light
- +Unusually light and wearable for a fragrance with powdery and woody notes
- +Appealing to those who enjoy citrusy-iris accords without heavy gourmand or boudoir sweetness
Cons
- −Very limited longevity — unsuitable for long days or formal events
- −Fragrance is delicate and inconsistent in real-world wear — may disappear quickly
- −The powdery orris and woody base doesn’t stand out strongly; many report not perceiving the key notes as described
