Boring floral fragrance? - Far from it!
The fact that Arethusa is named after a plant, more precisely a type of orchid called "Arethusa bulbosa", does not seem entirely surprising.
Although we do not find an orchid within the fragrance pyramid here, a connection can be made in this respect by clearly stating that Arethusa by Tiziane Terenzi has a strong floral note.
But that's not all, because in my opinion there is a whole lot more to discover here, so that you end up with a really beautiful fragrance.
In addition to the floral, quite dominant influences, grapefruit plays a decisive role. Supported by the ginger, the Adam's apple presents its citrus and thus clearly and pleasantly loosens up the rather dense floral notes.
As is typical for Terenzi, the whole thing has a somewhat synthetic DNA, which I would not criticize, as there is an overall harmonious cloud of fragrance.
In the first few minutes, the synthetics still cause a little "stinging" in the nose. However, the sandalwood in the base quickly takes away the character and rounds off the fragrance noticeably.
I also perceive a somewhat clearer orange blossom in any case, as well as jasmine.
I can't explicitly smell all the other notes listed, but they certainly do the rest.
The bottom line is a fresh, harmonious, somewhat synthetic and floral fragrance whose citric influences are constantly present, but fade more and more as the fragrance progresses. Nevertheless, Arethusa is much more than a simple "floral fragrance".
In my opinion, the perfume is unisex wearable, although I would love Arethusa a little more on women.
Silage and longevity are in the good mid-range. The fragrance projects moderately without disturbing or filling the room. Accordingly, the fragrance is suitable for a number of occasions and can also be considered an all-rounder here.
I like the bottle, Terenzi provides a small cap in addition to the "large lid". A little caution is required when holding the bottle. This should not be done on the "large lid", as after a very short time it only sits quite loosely on top and the bottle quickly slips out of your hand.
