The story of Salvatore Ferragamo
Born in southern Italy, Salvatore Ferragamo emigrated to the United States as a young man and settled in California, where he made shoes for Hollywood studios and their stars. Fascinated by anatomy, he sought to reconcile beauty and comfort. Returning to Italy in 1927, he set up his workshop in Florence, which would become the house's headquarters. His inventions, such as the cork wedge heel, left their mark on the history of footwear. The house later diversified into leather goods, accessories, ready-to-wear and, eventually, fragrance. Signorina, launched in 2012, pays tribute to the elegant, playful young Italian woman, with a bottle decorated with the Vara bow, the emblem of the house's pumps. It became one of the brand's most successful scents and inspired several later variations with the same youthful spirit.
An olfactory signature
At Ferragamo, elegance comes through delicacy. Signorina pairs redcurrant, pink pepper and pear in the opening, a fruity, sparkling freshness. The heart of peony, rose and jasmine forms a bright, feminine bouquet. The base is more unexpected: patchouli, musk and a panna cotta accord, a creamy Italian dessert that adds a milky softness. Together they form a modern floral chypre, gourmand without excess and polished enough for everyday elegance at the office or at lunch.
