Punta Ala (2014)
by Salvatore Ferragamo
Punta Ala by Salvatore Ferragamo delivers a clean, fresh, and subtly woody aroma that evokes the Mediterranean coast with its blend of citrus, vetiver, cedar, and a green olive note. It shares DNA with Acqua di Gio but achieves a natural, less synthetic profile, making it suitable for those who appreciate the classic marine-woody aesthetic without the artificial edge. The composition is simple yet effective, with a progression that begins bright and citrusy, transitions into a harmonious blend of cedar and vetiver, and concludes with a refined, masculine-leaning dry down that lingers pleasantly. It is best suited for spring and summer wear, particularly during daytime hours, and performs well in office environments due to its moderate sillage and longevity.
Pros
- +Naturally balanced composition with a green-woody character that is rarely synthetic or overwhelming
- +Wears well on skin with a satisfying evolution from top to base notes
- +Suitable for daywear and office settings due to moderate projection and longevity
Cons
- −Not suitable for winter or night wear
