Afternoon tea with a fragrant twist

Ferragamo afternoon tea


Afternoon tea is the perfect way to unwind and treat yourself after a hard morning shopping or whatever you did to deserve it.


But, afternoon tea and fragrances are not something we would generally put together to entice weary shoppers to a hotel lobby. However, this hasn’t stopped the Signorina fragrance selection of Salvatore Ferragamo collaborating with the Lobby Lounge at Conrad Hong Kong.


Devised by Chef Luca de Berardinis from Nicholini’s, the savoury selections include Pappa al Pomodoro with burrata cheese – a classic bread and tomato soup –  sandwiches with smoky unctuous eel and foie gras and red tuna carpaccio with guacamole.


Some of the afternoon tea selections allegedly entice the nostrils with their links to Salvatore Ferragamo fragrances. For example, the marinated salmon and salmon roe sandwiches are supposedly reminiscent of the pink Signorina Eau de Parfum of jasmine and roses.


If a flowery, fragrant afternoon tea is your thing, the Salvatore Ferragamo Fragrance inspired afternoon tea set will be served until 19 February between Mondays and Fridays.
