Salvatore Ferragamo Rinascimento ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 15 September 2018 5 Comments

Salvatore Ferragamo has launched Tuscan Creations, a collection of eleven fragrances. Of the eleven, only one, Rinascimento, is new; the other ten (Bianco di Carrara, Calimala, La Commedia, La Corte, Convivio, Punta Ala, Testa di Moro, Terra Rossa, Vendemmia and Viola Essenziale) were previously released under the Tuscan Scent and Tuscan Soul collections. (It appears that two of them, Calimala and Testa di Moro, have new names: Calimala is possibly Leather Rose and Testa di Moro is possibly Incense Suede.)

Rinascimento was developed by perfumer Alex Lee, and is described as a unisex fragrance inspired by the ancient symbol of Florence, the lily.

TOP NOTES is a mix of Italian Mandarine, Basil and Green Pepper, for a powerful and sparkling impact. The flowery HEART feels like a daring bouquet where the green notes of the Lily combine with the Tuberose magnetism and the delicate voluptuousness of the Iris Butter. Sandalwood and Orcanox add a sensual touch to the BASE, while the Vetiver makes it vibrant.

Salvatore Ferragamo Rinascimento is €220 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

      Well, they did release them over a period of years. Overall, it still can’t touch Tom Ford Private Blend, or Bottega Veneta, etc. But I agree it’s a lot of perfume!

    Hey at least they unified them under one line!

    About the name changes: “testa do Moro” was probably considered offensive. Even if there was a historical reason for the name.
    “Moorish face” … Imagine a perfume called “Asian Face” ….

      Apparently testa di moro is an idiomatic expression for a specific color and type of leather in Italian:

      Il colore testa di moro è una gradazione scura di marrone, caratteristica della pelle utilizzata per l’abbigliamento e trattata con tinture. (Italian Wikipedia)

      https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Testa_di_moro_(colore)

      The dark brown color is a dark shade of brown, characteristic of the leather used for clothing and treated with dyes. (Google Translate automatically translates the phrase as dark brown.)

      When you Google it, you see many items for sale in this color.

      Nonetheless, it looks like it harks back to Venice, Saracen pirates, and those now controversial blackamoor brooches, so not an astute choice for an international brand.
