Synonymous with luxury, Fiamma is a name with a rich history under the Ferragamo brand. In English, it means flame; it’s also the name of Salvatore Ferragamo’s daughter and one of the brand's classic handbags. An iconic wardrobe staple, the Fiamma bag launched back in 1914 and has endured numerous iterations. Today, a casual crossbody or classic shoulder bag is the perfect fusion of the brand’s heritage and timeless elegance. Featuring the asymmetrical flap and gold clasp reminiscent of a flickering flame. Today, Fiamma is reborn in what is the brand's first feminine scent. Read on to discover and fall in love with Ferragamo Fiamma.
What’s in it?
Technically, a floral Oriental, with the freshness of white pear, tropical gardenia, a pinch of spice, and warm amber. First, let’s rediscover pear. It’s made a comeback for its ability to transform a fragrance from being too citrus or too fruit-forward. Popular because of its versatility, it can smell light, syrupy, and squeaky clean with a tangy edge. It’s as complex as it is juicy, but it mellows with that elegant, bold white flower and warm amber. Together, these ingredients are gloriously joyful and energising. Fiamma is also sustainable, made with over 80 per cent biodegradable ingredients. Its conscious formulation means the 100ml bottle is fully refillable, further reinforcing Ferragamo’s commitment to reducing waste, while preserving luxury. The minimalist, organic-shaped bottle is finished in high-shine gold, featuring a cut-out detail on the cap—a nod to Ferragamo’s artistry and tradition. The name, Fiamma, is in blazing red, a constant reminder of its meaning: flame.
Ferragamo Fiamma, EDP comes in 35mls $129, 55mls, $189, and 100mls, $259.
Why do we like it?
We love designer scent. It’s the perfect way to buy into a luxury brand if that Fiamma handbag is out of reach. It’s also exquisitely crafted, like the accessories that have stayed relevant since 1927. The brand says this new scent is as functional as it is indulgent, like its beautifully balanced heels. It’s also a testament to a heritage brand for taking this long to create a fragrance that will endure the test of time, just as its accessories have for decades to come. So, how does it smell on warm skin? Absolutely divine. From the day it landed on our desks, we have been smitten. While we acknowledge that scent smells differently on everyone, this is a warm, addictive mix of tangy, floral, and spicy that becomes unforgettable and uniquely tailored to you from the very first spritz.
A new era for this luxury accessory brand.
