Caput Mundi Tiziana Terenzi 2018

What? No comment for this Terenzi? Why?

About two weeks ago I visited the Breuninger after a long time. The one in Stuttgart. As usual I went to the perfumery. There a wall shelf with lots of Terenzi fragrances. Didn't tell me anything so far. At least I haven't noticed it since. Maybe Breuninger has also added them to the sales program. No matter. I looked at all the bottles. And their names. I liked Caput Mundi right away. Bottle taken. Sprayed on. Waited. Smelled it. Thrilled. It can go that fast. Looking at the price: €260. The 100ml bottle. Flacon put back on the shelf. Eyeballs pulled up. Further strolling. Smell on the wrist every now and then. The smell did not let go of me. It captured me. The distances between the smells became shorter and shorter. Arrived at home. Perceived the scent with closed eyes. Magically drawn to it. To the scent. Still not to the price.
The next day, right here at Parfumo. Rather low rating (6.8). Actually I had expected 7.5 plus. No matter. Tastes are different, as we all know. A rating from others says nothing about your own taste. That's true! But if it weren't for this price then...
...I'd still buy it. Cheaper, of course. Not from Breuninger, of course. I was convinced of that. My research online: at parfimo.de. And I had to laugh. Because of the name. Because of the price. Seventy-four euros something or other. Ordered. Paid for. Satisfied.

What does Caput Mundi smell like? It smells good! No. Very good. No, it's not. Exceptionally good for me He's off to a fierce fresh start. And confused. But only briefly. Calms down and sorts itself out quickly. He deserves to wait that out. After: Lily of the valley and tea rose. Balsamic chords. A little powdery. Floral mishmash with a discernible rose. The one from Bulgaria. Some iris and maybe some saffron. The latter is a guess. Still good. It's softening. Oud is joining us. But not brutal. A lovely one. A soft oud. Sandalwood too. I'm still looking for the cedar. Later, softer. It's probably the cashmere. I have two cashmere sweaters. I like them. Four hours later. It's a dream. Very soft. Still a little powdery. A little flowery. It's the rose. The one from Bulgaria. It's still there. With oud mixed with cashmere in a triple pack. Wow! And sandalwood. I guess that's what it's made of
Next day. Smell still there. Much lighter overnight, of course. Rose and sandalwood holding hands. Kashmir must still be there. Yeah, and soft oud. I took a shower. Still smelling. Scent re-sprayed. Gone to the office. Got compliments. From women. Men were all at the home office
Yeah. Easy. Flattering. A little feminine. The scent. It doesn't matter. It's art Fine. Heavy. Precious. A bit bulky. The bottle. Whatever. It's art. Like the perfume Fine. Easy. Big. A little too big. The packaging. Never mind. This is art. Like the bottle
Why do I write like this? It doesn't matter. It's art. Like everything
