Ferragamo’s new fragrance, Fiamma, isn’t here to shout. It’s the kind of scent that smoulders quietly and lingers long after you’ve left the room. Dreamed up under the creative direction of Maximilian Davis, it captures everything the new Ferragamo era stands for: modern, minimal and undeniably confident.
“Fiamma” translates to flame in Italian, and that’s exactly what this perfume feels like — a slow, steady warmth rather than a flash in the pan. The bottle itself is pure Italian glamour, all sculptural gold curves and a touch of the brand’s signature red. It’s the kind of piece that demands to be displayed, not tucked away.
The Notes
Perfumer Clément Gavarry has built something clever here. The scent opens with crisp white pear and a flicker of spice before melting into creamy gardenia. The base is a blend of amber and soft woods, adding depth without heaviness. It’s polished but not precious — like silk trousers and a good blow-dry in scent form.
The Mood
This is a fragrance for the woman who doesn’t need to announce herself. It suits the cooler months when you want warmth close to the skin, but it’s versatile enough to wear year-round. Think gallery openings, late dinners, or anywhere you want to feel quietly composed.
The Shelf
Fiamma is one of those scents that slots seamlessly into a curated collection. It layers beautifully with anything creamy or musky and feels timeless without tipping into tradition. Plus, the formula is over 80% biodegradable and the 100ml bottle refillable, so it’s as considered as it is chic.
Available at David Jones and Myer from $107.
