Description
In February 2016, Salvatore Ferragamo launched another fragrance from the Signorina collection, Signorina Misteriosa. Signorina Misteriosa completes the collection as the night-time, unpredictable and mysterious flanker of the scent.
Salvatore Ferragamo celebrates chic young women creating a unique style signature of timeless modernity, creativity and a hint of audacity.
A girl playing with her different characters: sophisticated and cheeky, like Signorina Eau de Parfum, elegant and seductive like Signorina Eleganza and unpredictably mysterious like
Signorina Misteriosa …because Signorina is a different Signorina every day.
“My life is a play” is her credo: Grace Hartzel perfectly embodies the three personalities of Signorina deciding when and how to let the play start, but always remaining the same person.
#mylifeisaplay
The composition is created by perfumers Sophie Labbe, Nicolas Beaulieu and Juliette Karagueuzoglou. The opening is fresh and bitter with flavors of wild blackberries and neroli. Orange blossom and sensual tuberose contribute to the oriental – fruity character of the scent. Patchouli gives a sophisticated touch, while black vanilla mousse marks the base.
The fragrance is available as Eau de Parfum.
Peryshko – :
This is like a modern interpretation of Poison by Dior (which I love but is very strong).
Opening blast is a bit medicinal, but it dries down to a beautiful berry/vanilla that somehow manages to be elegant and not too sweet. The touch of white floral is just right. Good sillage without being in your face. Addictive.
I wouldn’t say that it’s “mysterious”, and it’s definitely not dark, but it does have a sexy edge. The bottle is gorgeous and elegant. I really love it.
Хайбет – :
It is a good feminine fragrance. The Blackberry-Vanilla agreement is superb. Very pleasant.
basyvalera – :
This could be just the berry I’ve been looking for.
The berry is deep and syrupy and doesn’t smell like some odd candy flavor. The tuberose is more pronounced than the vanilla. This does have a doll skin musk and a blend of scents that is best described as “modern designer perfume blend.” It would sit comfortably on a shelf with Alien and Black Opium although it doesn’t smell specifically like either. The patchouli note is part of this blend and is never pronounced. No old hippies hiding here.
As it settles it sweetens and I begin to see the whipped cream note, which somehow manages to be not very vanilla. It reminds me more of whipped cream vodka flavor, which I do enjoy.
opennaJen – :
Really adore this! Sweet, juicy blackberries with some depth and floral notes. Not candy sweet, but a mature, well-rounded berry. I also pick up on a hint of cocoa, even though it’s not listed in the notes. She is mysterious indeed. Definite winner for me. It’s an enjoyable, easy-to-wear perfume. Good for office and for dates.
BGSU – :
It is a beautiful berry scent. but i smell no cream here… it’s about 36c here where i live… it’s very close to Britny Spears midnight fantacy but midnight fantasy is more sweet. i’ll give it another try in winter but it’s a lovely fruity scent.

Wolf – :
This scent immediately reminded me of Big League Chew bubble gum from childhood. A plastic-y, cherry, overly sweet scent. But as it dries, it tones down and the black berries and milky creaminess come through. It is definitely dessert-like, super sweet but complex enough that the sweetness is not off-putting.
Its dry-down is beautiful – the longer it wears, the softer and more expanded it becomes. This may be the edge of where my admiration for sweet perfumes lies but it is a beautiful one and I am happy to have it.
M2LoY – :
Something Decadent This Way➡:
Dark-Chocolate Truffle covered Blackberries, & powdery VIOLETS!…Truly delectable…On my skin, it dries down slightly Citrus, Cocoa, & Berries!
pavel22 – :
I wore this for the first time today, It’s gorgeous! My first stop of the day to get coffee, the cashier told me “You smell delicious, what are you wearing?”
I smells like a juicy bowl of blackberries and cream. The sillage is great and it lasts a long time. What more can a girl need!
борг – :
I blind bought this hoping for a milky/fruity perfume, but was instead greeted by a very JUICY, rich syrup. A pleasant surprise! By no means mysterious, but very very delicious.
Immediately you can smell a rich and sparkling blackberry syrup. After 5 minutes a sweet musky vanilla enters. Very uplifting and girly. Highly recommended for sweet lovers!

My first review!
I was looking for a seductive blackberry vanilla combo so I bought this one un-sniffed. Anyway, I smelled tart blackberries mixed with a bit of citrus notes in the opening. Very realistic fruit smell. After a few minutes it mellowed down and the vanilla came in, but its neither heavy nor creamy on me. I detected a bit of patchouli in the dry down but only if I really stuck my nose and smelled really hard.
Overall the feel of this perfume is very light, I’m rather envious of people who get a creamy vibe on this, or prefer this scent for date nights or clubbing, because it really smells like a light, daytime perfume on me. I detect a bit of sweet vanilla on clothes, but on my skin it smells really light and natural, not mysterious at all. Sillage is soft.
ExtraCOM – :
All I can say is that I never get compliments anymore on how I smell perhaps due to my aging appearance but men seem to dig this one for some strange reason…I liked this perfume just fine but I have liked others more and didn’t get this reaction. I wonder what it is.
sky13 – :
Passed Durbuy on early spring for sightseeing, there is a modest size shop ‘Le Parfumeur de Paris’ owned by a very friendly & bubbly lady whom introduced Signoria to me for the first time, I asked for a night time perfume that is not too strong, oriental neither too dark nor too loud.
First she pulled out Stella Mccartney for its’ rosey scent, it was nice but it needed something more to get me hooked, next, the moment she took out Signoria, by the way she presented the bottle and how poetically she was explaining Signoria got me hypnotized already LOL, sprayed on a tissue, asked me to close my eyes and inhale this scent softly… my oh my… without recognizing the notes at first, it’s sweet but not sickening sweet, beautiful subtle floral note, and creamy lovey dewy dry down. So, it must be the blackberry sweet, subtle tuberose, and creamy vanilla… it got me hooked!
She generously sprayed Signoria like she had given spell all over me LOL, she let me enjoy the scent on me & have a think about it, walked out with this beautiful aroma on me to get some lunch first before deciding anything, it was a warmer spring day and when the breeze past me this beautiful and deliciously addictive scent was really captivating, that’s it! had to get a bottle.
This is not a deep dark scent, in my opinion it is not mysterious enough to called so, BUT Signoria is elegant enough for an evening out without being seductive neither provocative nor extravagant, it’s feminine & sweet but not girlish sickening sweet, balanced proportion between fruity floral and sweetness, something for dinner date or sipping cocktails with favourite people, it is also day time appropriate, inoffensive at all, office, luncheon, afternoon tea with best friends, or whenever our mood needs this delicious beautiful scent.
Not to mention how sleek the black and gold bottle with added bow that makes it even prettier.
Hill1 – :
I do blind buys-God help me lol. I saw a rollerball of this in TJMaxx for 7.99 and for that price, I couldn’t pass it up. Even though I never smelled it before but I liked the original Senorina so I figured it couldn’t be too bad.
i will say that its a rather interesting and unique scent. I can see that lot of people are smelling blackberries but those are nowhere to be seen to my nose. for me, right out of the bottle it cycles right through to tuberose and orange blossom with touch of vanilla. As a matter of fact, when i first put it on my skin, I got distinctive cotton candy note. Is that blackberries? who knows.
My nose is finely tuned to white florals and i can honestly detect those in most perfumes. I had no idea what the notes were yet but as soon as I got a whiff of distinctive aroma, I was like “ok, its a tuberose” and i was right. This is a heavier floral oriental, with prominent tuberose thats sitting on the top of vanilla and patchouli. You can forget about blackberries, they got scared and ran away because tuberose and orange blossom beat them up.
I like it though. I dont think this is full bottle worthy for me but its a unique scent and it suits my scent wardrobe which is mostly composed of heady floral orientals. As my friend said upon smelling it “this is very you”.
Lasting power is really good with this one. I tried it 3 hours ago and its still fresh on my wrist. With rollerballs you really dont get as much siliage imo but i could smell it. With spray bottle(which is gorgeous) this would be a siliage bomb
edo123456789 – :
Oh how do I describe this fragrance? All I know is that from as soon as I sprayed it I loved it. It’s sweet and creamy a bit candy ish. It’s lovely. I bought a 50ml bottle and sometime soon I will get the bigger one. Well done to whoever put this perfume together. Love it
251172 – :
Starts off like a dessert: fresh blackberry mouse tart from the opening (sweet and sour blackberry, vanilla whipped cream). And then it transferred into a fragrance with soft tuberose and light patchouli.
Very SMART lay out going from berry, whipped cream and vanilla (sour/tart, sweet, milky scent) to tuberose and patchouli (slightly sweet and cool minty), as it is such a SMOOTH transition, NO shockingly or drastic change to my nose.
It is absolutely way more advanced and sophiticated than Eon Productions James Bond 007 For Women 🙂
And yes, it can be worn daily in spring and summer.
aleksgorec – :
To those who have trouble with the cap of the bottle, do this: when you want to open it, hold the cap between your fingers and with the rest of your fingers push against the base of the nozzle and only pull the cap while also pushing against the base. Like you would take the plug out of the socket to not make the socket came loose of the wall. Pulling without doing this causes it to weaken and leak, like I did the first few times. Opening it like I said is very easy to do and keeps it perfect.

I’ve had this lovely perfüme for a while now. From winter into late spring. I really don’t wear it often. But, when I do I can’t stop sniffing. I’m not much of a gourmand type. But, Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Misteriosa is really very nice. It’s not at all an immature perfüme. It’s really very grown and quite lovely. The more often I wear it. The more of the other notes beyond the black berry I notice. The first bit is all grown up blackberry and a light sweet cream. Then it turns into a blackberry flower with an amazing orange flower scent. That goes on for a while then the tubereuse with a touch of sweet patchouli kicks in Then they’re all together and happy. Then it pretty much stays that way. It’s really much more floral than I assumed it would be. Especially after the initial blast. Like a big blackberry flower bouquet.
I like it.
I couldn’t wear it everyday. But, it’s a real treat when the mood strikes.
matery – :
I agree with Mapache below who says this has a chameleon aspect to it. Yes, it is blackberries and cream, with a patch base. An adult fruity gourmand, like so many things crowding the market. But the more I wear and get to know it, the more elements I smell as it develops in different temperatures. Today, a moderately cool but dry morning about an hour after dabbing on, I am picking up unnoticed oak moss. Underneath the berries and cream, but definitely there. This is a fruitchouli that is fbw for me.
jhk73 – :
I love this so much, It will be my next purchase, I feel like this perfume is totally me. I disagree that it’s not mysterious, it makes me think of summer nights, romance, secret love affairs, that sort of stuff. Smells sexy without trying too hard (like Black Opium even though I love that too it’s a bit too provocative). Mysterious does not necessarily mean weird or unusual. I see that this is not considered good for summer. I disagree, I find it perfect for summer evenings/nights (surely not daytime though). To me it really does fit the name and the bottle. I would actually consider making this my signature (replacing the more immature Pink Sugar) if I’ll keep loving it as much. This perfume is so far the one that I feel fits me the best out of all I’ve tried.
igorin – :
I like the Signorina trio. This one is perfect for winter nights, a creamy, peppery-spicy scent with traceable blackberry. Good for day and night. After 7 hours I still smell some blackberry, so it is lasting.
47sergo47 – :
Mysterious? No. This is a straightforward fruity, sweet, gourmand. This fragrance should have been called Prezioso and housed in a bright amethyst bottle.
Berry/mousse scents are not my personal favorite; however, Misteriosa is a well-done example of that genre. Many fruities are a bit thin, but this one is a fully faceted fragrance with some real depth.
Other than the misnaming, this is a solid choice for a fruit-forward gourmand.
Deroxeuofb – :
Wow! This is one of my top 4 perfumes. I smelled almost every perfume in bloomingdales to find this. When I smelled it I was blown away. I would almost make this my signature if it weren’t for Bond 9’s Madison Avenue. When I want a sweet gourmand I reach for this. It’s incredibly well blended. Although the top notes are sweet blackberry it is not too syrupy or sickeningly sweet because it is balanced so well by the florals.
Sad that the bottle leaks a bit at the cap. I’ve hear others have the same experience. It’s not a huge problem and I wouldn’t let that prevent you from buying.
altikor – :
This is a blackberry perfume.I dong get lots of vanilla. there is only a lil bit of cream and it smells like a blackberry cake with cream and blackberry jam. However, it is not warm. It is quite sharp as the sourness of the blackberry cuts through. it is not too sweet but it is definitely not warm. i would say that it is quite summery, sour and fresh. If yoy like britney spears midnight fantasy, this is worth a try.
kukenepg – :
This is so beautiful in its simplicity. Blackberry vanilla cream….love at first sniff. I tested this about four hours ago and I keep getting absolutely dreamy whiffs of the gorgeousness that is this fragrance. Sigh…I may be in love. And I’ll break my no-expensive purchase pact I made with myself, I just know it. If you’ve ever smelled a perfume you can’t stop obsessing over, then you know what I’m talking about. This smells so good!
rozgonoleg – :
This is lovely. Fizzy raspberry and violet sherbet, mellowing down to berry sorbet and cream. Ever so pretty, just a shame it doesn’t last.
ФАНТОМ – :
This is so beautiful! Based on reviews here, I bought a rollerball a while back and really liked it so I ordered a full size bottle. I do get the tarte blackberries at first, but it is so much more than that! It is more sophisticated than most of the celeb scents, tons more depth IMHO (and I am not knocking celeb scents, I own several!). On my skin Misteriosa really shows off the creamy vanilla, retains a bit of the blackberries, the tuberose is VERY subtle but definitely there and the same for the patchouli: very soft, very subtle but enough to make it a very interesting fragrance. Sillage is pretty good and longevity is really nice. I sprayed my wrists this morning, drove for 3+hrs and when I reached my destination one of my gymnasts immediately commented on how nice I smelled! Coached a 4hr meet, drove another 3+hrs and I can still smell it on my wrists. Not strong by now, one would have to get close to smell it, but unmistakably there! It IS a strong scent, and very sweet, but to me the tuberose (or could be the orange blossom) and patchouli save it from being TOO sweet.
I can see this being one of my very favorites!!
Алексеев – :
I love it! Such a delicious and feminine blend <3
Inataeteque – :
Oh my, this is the first perfume i’ve ever encountered that i hate with a passion. I am not kidding. I bought it blind, actually i bought it on hubbies advice, since he digs Ferragamo. I thought, with that name and that pretty bottle, how can one possibly go wrong. Well, it all went wrong.
It’s not necessarily that this perfume doesn’t get along with my skin chemistry. I think there are no problems there. I get creamy blueberries like many others and at times it’s almost pleasant.
But somewhere deep, in the background there is something sharp, and immature, that reminds me of something from my childhood, and i can’t put my finger on it. It might be one of those liquid antibiotics that doctors used to prescribe to children in Europe when they got sick. I am not sure. I would have to test it some more, go beyond blueberries -mentally, and attempt to recall what it reminds me off, but i am so, so unwilling. I do not want to smell this way-ever again. Signorina Misteriosa is the one to join the Magie Noire, which, until now, was the only perfume i couldn’t stand and had to sell.
Gosh, as i type this, i keep glancing at Misteriosa in my glass perfume cabinet, and i swear i can smell her thru 4 layers of glass 🙁
Aleksandr000 – :
So wonderful blackberries on… bubble gum:) I really love the begining, but I’m old enough to smell bubble gum then.
Deroxmskuu – :
I love this one! It’s delicious blackberries and vanilla. I don’t get any huge white florals or tuberose; only blackberry and vanilla. The sillage is very good with this one and the longevity is wonderful! 8+ hours on me.
hlg2009 – :
Creamy….yes. Creamed patchouli with berries/vanilla…yes.
This one is “misterioso” for sure. It changes…developes like a chameleon on my skin. I get very faint tuberose/jasmine….but that’s ok. The basis of this scent is creamy berry/vanilla. But not “smokey” vanilla. And…somehow at drydown I feel a “chypre” vintage vibe on my skin…???… strange, but good!!
Overall…it is a likeable scent. I do not find it “gourmond” either, again,that’s ok by me. The bottle is dark/mysterious…but the scent is not IMO.Just like the Eleganza version…I get different “vibes” each time I wear it. Chameleons for sure,which is kinda cool !!!
oleg.tjurin – :
Yes, I have had the same experience. The bottle is somehow cheap, unfortunately.
My husband regularly undertakes business trips to Italy and never forgets to give this perfume fanatic, who is his wife, an Italian perfume;).
But the scent itself is really lovely. My skin often intensifies woody or spicy notes and so it happens with this Italian beauty. Maybe that’s why it’s not too sweet for my taste. It is, as the name implies, mysterious and dark with the strong patchouly and berry top notes, but shows in the heart a wonderfully sweet creaminess that is really seductive.
Quality is good, but not as outstanding as the quality of Valentino Donna, which in my opinion is comparable in this segment.
A great scent for fall and even mild late summer evenings without getting too sweet.
Love most Italian perfumes anyway, always good for surprises.
hubinmiha – :
The perfume is just like previous reviews say, a pleasant berries and airy sweet slightly woody scent. I like it a lot especially for the low price. However I was disturbed by the gold paint at the base of the spray nozzle, it appeared bunched up the first time I saw it instead of smooth in texture, but I thought it was the intended design. However today on my second usage, the paint flaked away revealing the plastic undermeath. I noticed the same thing in the Signorina Eleganza Bottle as well. Has anyone had this experience too? I wonder if that’s why it was so discounted, because the whole batch may have the same issue? It doesn’t affect the spraying mechanism so it’s just a cosmetic thing but I have never seen metallic paint peel off like that on any other bottles before. Kind of creepy

Blackcurrants, blackberries and vanilla ice cream… I was excited to start with! Then the ice cream melts and I discover that it’s not dairy ice cream but the other ersatz kind and suddenly, the oily feel in my mouth and the bubbling vannilin stuff is less appealing. Oh wait, I’ve eaten too much and feel a bit ill – urp…
req – :
I -loved- smelling this when I sprayed it on paper. It was exactly as others have described it, gourmand, delicious, creamy berries. Decadent and sexy. The second I sprayed it on my skin, the creamy berries abandoned me and transformed into artificially flavored fruit punch. It became sour and cloying, and worse, the creaminess faded into flat, watery Kool-Aid. It’s such a shame, I suppose that’s the ‘skin chemistry’ people talk about, although I’m a bit skeptical of the concept of skin chemistry. Worth testing before buying.

This particular perfume and I have had an interesting journey together. It was one of the first ones I got when I started my collection back in July of this year. I got it because of the vanilla and berries and cream. All the things a gourmand-fiend would want. Upon first few sprays, all I got was powdery-ness. I was quite disappointed that I had ended up with something that just smelled powdery. I put it away in the cupboard I keep my collection in (away from sunlight) and would periodically take it out and spritz myself with it before bed (I have one perfume for the day time, and one for after I shower just before bed. I never wear the same scent two days in a row). I live in Taiwan and it’s stupidly humid here all the damn time. This week, the temperature has dropped a bit and it seems that things are finally cooling down. Usually, the daily all-day sweats start at sunrise in April and continue all the way through August and sometimes as late as December. So, imagine my surprise when I sprayed myself with Signorina Misteriosa before bed the other night and smelled a whole different perfume than before. I get it now. I smell all that delicious vanilla, berries and cream that had been in the bottle all along but had been kept down by the oppressive heat and humidity. This one has jumped up to the top 10 in terms of my favorites. It’s definitely a cooler weather perfume!
ztb417speagoessenda – :
So nice. Very sweet at the start, but it settles so such a nice creamy vanilla berry. I was really surprised.
Yes, I agree. It does smell similar to Rocker Femme Fantasy by Britney Spears. However, Rocker Femme has an element of tarty fruit that I can’t get past. This one is just pure creaminess, it’s so intoxicating and sophisticated.
Overall it’s a milky, vanilla blackberry treat. No floral and no patchouli to me.
Couple of more tests and I think I’m hooked.
лобан 13 – :
So similiar to Britney Spears Rocker Femme Fantasy.
safo21 – :
I LOVE this perfume!!! It initially smells very sweet to me, but then dries down to a nice, creamy scent for me. It starts off a lot like BBW scent Morocco Orchid & Pink Amber, and dries down like James Bond 007 for Women in my opinion….both perfumes I really enjoy. I like that this perfume has a creamy, milky base note to it instead of a sugary base note like many perfumes right now. I might need a full bottle of this one 🙂
org08 – :
This fragrance is SCRUMPTIOUS. It smells like a fresh blackberry pie with a side of vanilla bean ice cream. It starts off extremely fruity, with the blackberry note at the forefront. It begins more tart, but swiftly sweetens down as the whipped cream and vanilla come through, giving it a creamy and delectable aura. It’s freakin delicious and I can’t stop sniffing myself.
Misteriosa just jumped to the top of my want list. It’s a must have for gourmand lovers 🙂
asdad – :
Sweet fruity bright fragrance, with tart blackberry from start to end. I don’t get any milkiness, but it is a very very nice fragrance. I am no fan of white floral scents but the tuberose and orange blossom were so well done here, that I wish they stuck around longer!
Like many of you, I don’t find this mysterious. It might be mysterious enough for a young ‘signorina’ though (a teenage girl), and I do agree that this is more of a night fragrance. So maybe the black bottle isn’t that irrelevant after all.
EDIT: So I spritzed this in colder weather and wow! A huge blast of bitter orange blossom hit me.. in a good way. The blackberry didn’t linger like when I tested it during the Summer. The sweetness has noticeably softened down. Maybe this is just my sample but it could be a genuine case of a weather-dependent moody scent. I am puzzled by the development and although I already strongly like it, I might buy a full bottle just to take a closer sniff.

I picked this up at the store with the presence of my husband. I was intrigued and asked him to smell it, and he was immediately reminded of Mexico. He has family there and he says that most of the women there that he met wears perfume like this. We bought it on the spot, and so far it’s my favorite. For me, I enjoy gourmand perfumes, but most of them go to sweet on me, not this one. I mean it has that sweet blackberry and vanilla sweetness, but it has some spice to ground it and darken it a bit.
Lena Khalepa – :
i was a big fan of versace bright crystal during my teenage years. I grown out of it so i decided to stroll around the mall and did a blind test. I fell in love instantly. I love vanilla scent on me. One that i had but discountinued was the victoria secret midnight exotic vanilla. Its a heavy perfume. The blackberry and vanilla combines well. As it dries down, the smell gets better. The packaging is absolutely stunning. I would say its misterious.
I was super pleased when i found this. It stayed on for about a good 5-6hrs on me. I was complimented by my peers and this has been my signature.
SIGARETA – :
Well the name totally mismatches the juice.
I like a good blackberry scent and this one is nice. Sweet and fruity, blackberry is a total star of the show here. Some mouse in the dry down to mellow it out, but still sweet blackberry.
I smell blackberry tart all the way from first spritz till the dry down. I quite like it. But it is more soft and feminine, young, playful, fruity, than mysterious.
Director78 – :
I spritzed this on the inside of my elbow while airport shopping before boarding a flight. I was instantly drawn in by the gorgeous bottle, I love black and paired with the gold trimmings, it really stands out amongst all the girly pastel flowery bottles that are so common.
On first spritz it’s a sweet syrupy blackberry. Almost a medicinal kind of fizzy smell paired with and earthy but soft patchouli. I adore the opening the most. The white flowers then unfold, giving it a gorgeous softness that is sweetened by the milk mousse and vanilla. You’re left with a creamy earthy fruity concoction that keeps you sniffing your arm obsessively.
Sillage and lasting power are decent, I could consciously smell myself during the six hour flight and after until I showered that evening.
I purchased a bottle on my return flight and it’s been a favourite of mine ever since.
V__I__P – :
This is definitely a fresh gourmand at first, with a strong blackberry and neroli leading the way. Within minutes, the blackberry—which manages to be both super sweet and a bit tart-fresh, somehow—is the alpha. The neroli is still present, though, keeping it from being *too* terribly sweet.
As it dries down, it gets sweeter and creamier. It’s a blackberry & vanilla mousse, but somehow nothing at all like Trish 9, and still much sweeter than Mure et Musc Extreme. I have to say that the “creamy” I feel, and the one mentioned in some reviews, is really more of a sweet mousse to me. It’s not creamy, and definitely not milky.
When it settles down, it is very much a gourmand. Heck, it’s a gourmand 5 minutes in. But there’s a ribbon of neroli and some spice running through all of the phases that keeps it from smelling like everything else. And there is a hint of something the whole way through, the thing that runs alongside the neroli, that’s really neato. It’s not quite green, not really spicy, and not quite like that after-sniff oomph that vintage Il Bacio has…but it’s something, and obviously something that made me think of all of those things.
It’s very well done, and has excellent staying power and good sillage. I have very dry, perfume-eating skin—and it’s SUPER hot here in Atlanta—and this still managed to stay on through dinner, coffee, and a shower. I only gave my wrists a tiny spray.
In the end, while I really like it, it’s too sweet for me. But I’m liking really strong and really sweet perfumes less and less these days. It’s not you, Signorina Misteriosa. It’s me.

The expensive version of yves rocher so elixir.
zubr217 – :
If you like super sweet fruity perfumes, definitely try Misteriosa; it is really yummy in that regard, very much a gourmand, almost a blackberry “solifruit.” Dark and mysterious, though, as the marketing suggests? No. I too miss out on the creaminess aspect as well. Moderate in both projection and longevity.
александр кабаков – :
I don’t get any creaminess here, but rather a sweet, succulent berry blast. The orange blossom enhances the fruitiness, and the tuberose and patchouli are quite toned-down, barely even there to my nose. This is youthful and juicy. It wasn’t quite my cup of tea, but if you enjoy blackberry, Signorina Misteriosa is 100% for you.
As an aside, why this was classified as “oriental floral” is beyond me. This is clearly floral-fruity!
vituha409 – :
somehow Signorina Misteriosa reminds me of Prada Candy, only slightly better. vanilla never suit me, and this one does not bring much difference.
i don’t really agree if this can be describe as ‘mysterious’ because i think this smells like a spoiled rich girl who always get what she wants, someone who always demanding that her wishes to be fulfilled.
on my nose, the vanilla and tuberose are the most noticeable and dominant while other notes not really
psl383speagoessenda – :
yum yum yum! This was a very successful blind buy! This is sweet, like a berry pie in the beginning. Then it warms up to a musky vanilla with fruit in the background. So wonderful! I love this one! I do agree this has some natural tartness in it but its not sour at all, its still very sweet/gourmand! YUM! It does remind me of britney’s midnight fantasy in my opinion, but more smooth/creamy.
Mmmmmmm! Glad I took a chance on this one! If I ever finish up my 50ml bottle Im definitely buying the 100ml!
Just adding to say that this one is definitely amazing! BUT I would not want to wear this every day, because it is SO sweet I would get sick of it easily..that said its an amazing date night fragrance for winter! Going out to a nice dinner and having wine, definitely. I love this! Midnight fantasy isnt as sweet as this, MF is muskier and lighter and better for an every day signature scent. Signorina Misteriosa is a more complicated fragrance and best for special times with the family! 🙂
nikvan58 – :
I tested it a few days ago at Sephora. The moment I sprayed it I was reminded of another fragrance that I had in the past but could not remember what that was. Later I realised that this is a “new version” of F By Ferragamo!! Not original but I like it a lot.
andy905 – :
