The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2002, Parfum Subtil by Salvatore Ferragamo is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of subtlety and sophistication. Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted this composition around cherry and fruity notes, which give way to a heart of orange blossom, tulip, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley. The base is grounded in woody musk, providing a warm and inviting finish that feels both fresh and comforting.
One to two sprays are sufficient — the fruity and floral top notes are bright but fleeting. The woody base develops over time, so it's best applied in the morning for a full day’s wear.
