Testa di Moro

The quiet focus of a study where aged leather books line the shelves, and the air is filled with the subtle warmth of incense and patchouli.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Testa di Moro by Salvatore Ferragamo, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, is an unisex Leather fragrance that weaves together rich, smoky notes with warm spices and balsamic woods. The opening of incense and pink pepper sets the stage for a deep dive into leather and patchouli, which anchor the composition in earthy sophistication. Saffron adds a hint of luxury, while styrax and mate bring an intriguing complexity to this well-rounded scent.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays on pulse points; the smoky base notes develop slowly over time. This fragrance reads better close to skin than when diffused across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings.
