The Cozy Sister of Hermès' Mediterranean Garden
Right off the bat: Titian has a fragrance twin, namely "Un Jardin en Méditerranée" by Hermès.
Especially the opening is exactly the same in both fragrances. They start off spicy, with the bergamot clearly making its presence known and the green fig being more of a fig leaf (just like in Hermès).
But while the garden remains spicy, Titian actually lets the lovely notes shine through. I can detect a hint of peony, the musk cuddles up to the fig leaf and the cedarwood. As it develops, I also recognize a creamy jasmine note and a pinch of neroli.
Due to the persistent presence of the fig (leaf/wood) note and the cedarwood, Titian is primarily a green fragrance to my nose, with the musk adding a certain creaminess-soapiness.
For me, Titian is a candidate for purchase, especially since I have and love the Hermès, but find it a bit too harsh-spicy.
That Titian is classified as a women's fragrance, unlike the Hermès, makes sense to me (even though I think Titian could also pass as unisex).
Titian has almost all the aspects that I love about JeM and avoids all those that I don't particularly like about the Hermès. I say "almost" because the longevity and sillage of Titian are unfortunately not as good as those of JeM.
