Tuscan Soul
Salvatore Ferragamo (2008)

The bergamot is quite strong in the opening blast, but I got some gentle woodsy backgroubd from early on. Petitgrain is added, but the drydown changes into a predominantly white floral mix. Orange blossom is strong, with touches of oleander and magnolia. Later on iris and violet also contribute.

The woodsiness becomes stronger in the base until the end.

I get moderate sillage, adequate projection and four hours of longevity on my skin.

For most of the time a bright summery scent with floral-woodsy undertones. It is rather linear, lacks complexity, and the performance is nothing to write home about. I do, however, enjoy the bath and skincare products, which are quite concentrated in the fragrance. 2.75/5.

Not a bad scent, but it has disappointing performace for me which leads me to the neutral rating.

Tuscan Soul has a pronounced citrus emphasis upon initial spray-on - the petitgrain and orange blossom notes really help the bergamot to shine. But thereafter, TS seems to fade quickly on me into a sub-skinscent...a big pecadillo with me especially when I want more projection.

Perhaps by layering this scent, I'd get better performance. I really do like its Italian character, and I applaud Ferragamo for creating this otherwise refreshing scent. However, I am wanting a more "beast mode" response from TS, and it seems be more of a laid-back fragrance than I'd be willing to spend so much for with a full bottle.

I have alternatives elsewhere to satisfy my wants.

Not my kind of Soul The first fragrance i bought blind with a little disappointment note to myself. Tuscan Soul is a very bright light fragrance with good longevity indeed smelling magnolia but in my nose this lacks depth and soul... Unisex in balance and i give this 75% feminine and 25% masculine. I gave it 4 months with several wearings on wrist n body to adapt and learn this fragrance but im done with my verdict : too feminine, too flowery, too shallow. Tuscan Soul is the one im never thinking of when im standing in front if my little puff-puff friends in the morning even on bright sunny days... Not a blind buy thats my warning i guess, overall its a good scent so i will give it 3 stars Im selling it.Pros: Bright and sunny type of scentCons: Bit too linear for my taste"

Tuscan Soul has disappointed me overall but the fragrance is very agreeable. Immediate comparisons within my arsenal were Eau Orlane, Eau de Rochas, Eau de Jade, O' de Lancome and Prada Infusion D'Oranger. Of these Eau de Rochas is top dog. Tuscan Soul is delightful but doesn't last. It goes on lavishly during this rather hot Southern hemisphere summer, takes one look at a puffy white cloud in the sky and goes to join it-the angel's share.

no strength or depth. not even a skinscent. too light. at least it is very cheap but not worth 5 dollars.
