Salvatore Ferragamo Testa di Moro is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Testa di Moro opens with Pink Pepper, Incense, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Leather, Patchouli, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Mate, Sandalwood, and Styrax. Salvatore Ferragamo's Testa di Moro carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a grown-up leather, smooth and luxurious, but with a surprising animalic edge that keeps it from being too polite. It's a divisive scent, some find it comforting and sophisticated, others say it's too much like a smoky, petrol-infused shoe shop.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it too strong for most offices, but it's perfect for a sophisticated date night or a formal event where its unique character can shine. It's too complex and heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Testa di Moro opens with a spicy kick of pink pepper, quickly enveloped by dark, dried fruits and a dry, almost dusty incense. The heart reveals a rich, warm leather, softened by the delicate floral spice of saffron and the earthy depth of patchouli. As it dries, a smoky, resinous styrax emerges, blended with a smooth sandalwood and the unique, slightly green nuance of mate, creating a sophisticated and subtly animalic base.
