Let’s be honest: finding a modern floral that looks stunning on your vanity but doesn't smell like a generic sugar bomb is no easy task.
Style director Louise Hilsz shares her Ferragamo Signorina Romantica review.
As someone who is incredibly particular about fragrance—usually skipping traditional florals in favour of grounded woody fragrance or structured men’s scents—I approach perfume with a highly critical eye. But as a lover of all things pink, Ferragamo’s Signorina Romantica (pronounced "seen-yo-REE-nah,” Italian for "miss" or "young lady") instantly caught my attention. Happily, the juice inside completely lives up to the beautiful reflective bottle.
“Think of Signorina Romantica as the finishing touch to a beautifully curated wardrobe—feminine and confident. It doesn’t shout for attention, but it certainly earns it.”

The notes: a sophisticated shift
It kicks off with a bright, sparkling burst of mandarin and juicy red berries. While fruity openings can sometimes lean too girly, this stays crisp, controlled, and upscale. It quickly unfolds into an elegant, timeless bouquet of peony, rose, and jasmine. The Dry-Down: This is the saving grace for my fussy nose. Once the florals settle, the warmth of sandalwood, patchouli, and musk takes centre stage. It beautifully anchors the brighter top notes, transforming the scent into something sophisticated, velvety, and rich rather than overly sweet.
The Wearability: Effortless Polish
What makes Signorina Romantica truly stand out is its balance. It’s romantic without being old-fashioned, and present without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect accessory for long lunches, date nights, or those days when you just want to feel effortlessly put-together.
And then, there’s the presentation. The metallic-pink bottle, adorned with Ferragamo's signature grosgrain bow, is an absolute dream for anyone who appreciates a beautiful pink aesthetic. It adds a real pop of colour to a dresser, and the sophisticated fragrance inside fully backs up the gorgeous packaging.

If you’re usually a bit fussy with designer scents but have a weakness for beautiful pink design, this is the ultimate win-win. Ferragamo has crafted something remarkably well-balanced here. Signorina Romantica bridges the gap beautifully—delivering a timeless, elegant, and wearable modern floral that deserves a permanent, front-row spot in your fragrance wardrobe.
