The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Salvatore Ferragamo, Cupola is an Oriental Woody fragrance crafted by perfumers Antoine Lie and Luca Maffei. This composition opens with the vibrant brightness of tangerine and saffron before transitioning into a heart of iris and angelica. The base notes feature guaiac wood, patchouli, labdanum, and amber, creating a warm and earthy foundation that reads as both sophisticated and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms gradually over time. The citrus top notes are fleeting but essential for setting up the warm, spicy base that lasts through the day.
