Flanker fatigue or a flirt I can’t resist? Meet Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Romantica

I’ll say it out loud so you don’t have to: another Signorina flanker. But before we roll our eyes, remember what made the original Signorina in 2012 stick around. That unexpected pannacotta accord with peony and rose. It was pretty with a sly little dessert fork hidden in the sleeve. If Salvatore Ferragamo is serving a fresh course with Signorina Romantica, I’m listening.

The name is a loaded promise. Romantica suggests satin skin and lipstick-stained teacups, not candy-shop chaos. The Signorina DNA has always lived at that line where floral-ladylike brushes up against gourmand-playful. If Romantica leans into that balance - think petal-sheen up top, creaminess in the drydown - it could be the most wearable date-night spritz of the season. If it veers into pink frosting territory, we’ve seen that film before and the ending isn’t great.

Context matters. Last year’s Signorina Unica pushed the series forward, proof that Ferragamo still knows how to tailor a flanker to current moods without losing its Italian polish. The market is hungry for sensorial comfort right now - florals that feel huggable, gourmands that are more silk camisole than cupcake. Romantica arrives right on trend, which is either savvy timing or a test of our patience.

Bottle-wise, the line’s bow-topped silhouette is practically its signature accessory. I’ll reserve judgment on Romantica’s exact styling until I have it in hand, but a Signorina without that tidy bow would be like an espresso without crema.

What I’ll be watching for when I get it on skin:

• That telltale Signorina glow - a dewy floral heart that reads polished, not powdery.
• A creamy base that whispers rather than shouts.
• Sillage with manners. Signorina works best when it trails like a silk ribbon, not a parade float.

If you already love the series, Signorina Romantica is the logical next swipe. If you drifted away after a flanker too sweet or too safe, this might be the one that brings you back to the table. I’m ready to see if Ferragamo remembered the secret: romance isn’t just sugar, it’s tension. And that’s where Signorina has always been most charming.
