Terra Rossa

Can fragrance touch your soul? I think it can, and I think that is what we hope for deep down when we dive deep into this hobby. If we have a few bottles, we like frags for others. When we have (too) many bottles it is for us and others. Hopefully your pursuit will point you to something greater, and the sense of scent that is tied so strongly to memory brings it back again and again. So, This fragrance has this ability. This is a beautiful scent and possibly the off spring of Coromandel+Nassomato's Pardon. Also, it is compared to another amber masterpiece - Tom Ford's Amber Absolute. And as such, it is indeed a masterpiece unless you have the other two or do not like Patch. This scent is indeed a patch based amber with a luxurious feel and presentation of the ilk that ferragamo's shoes deliver. This is from their "exclusive" or more luxurious line and I think this frag delivers and if you can come across this at a great deal(which is now quite prominent for this scent) it is blind buy safe unless you have the others. It possibly is therefore not as original or groundbreaking but quite good. 4.15/5

At first sniff I'm able to enjoy a floral blend with patucchli giving it a sweet creamy tone. Amber with just a hint of myrrh adds a woodsy/spicy blend. I definitely pick up either sandalwood or cinnamon notes making it perfect during the fall and winter months. Longevity and Silage is excellent lasting well over 8hrs. This is my second bottle of this nieche fragrance. Terra Rossa means red soil, I imagine the rich soil in Italy where fruits and vineyards grow. The warm/spicy juice gives this frag vigour being very lively. Try it several times before you decide whether you like or not? This juice is excellent...8.5/10

if you put a little dry patchouli into carner barcelona el born or les bains guerbois 1986 you have the Tuscan soul edt version of terra rossa... it's lovely. Honeyed amber with woods and patchouli with a little orangery citrus (the kind of dry citrus in roja lost in paris or les bains guerbois in a few of theirs).

Patchouli is the star of the show here but it is an unpressedented one with adequat sweetness comming from amber and myrrh, a bit of florals and citrusses add to them a great performance then you get a great fall winter frangrance.

DOWN TO THE RED EARTH WITH TUSCAN SOUL _______________________________________________________ I tried today several of the new scents from Salvatore Ferragamo and was blown away by one of them. The 'Tuscan Soul' series has several scents, but the most manly one is TERRA ROSSA. Terra Rossa is supposed to bring you to the deep roots of Tuscany. And it does. The combination of patchouli and amber is quite strong and make it very 'earth-y' and very manly. After a couple of hours the rose(water) breaks through and becomes very sensual (and somehow feminine). Since I couldn't figure out the base notes very good, the sales man pulled out a catalogue with all the fragranes from Salvatore Ferragamo and the notes of Terra Rossa. From the list of scents I saw, the fragrance is made of the following: TOP NOTES: Bergamot, Rosewater MIDDLE NOTES: Labdanum and something I don't recall BASE NOTES: Patchouli, Amber. Overall: great scent Opinion: amazing earthly - 9/10. Longetivity: - 7/10 Sillage: - 7/10 All in all: 8 out of 10 points.
