Love at the Tenth Sniff???
Fortunately, I received Chimaera by Tiziana Terenzi as a bonus with a perfume I had searched for here on Parfumo. As usual, I sprayed once or twice on a test strip and took in the scent.
After 2-3 sniffs, I immediately noticed the sweet-citrusy note. At first, the scent didn’t blow me away. I set the test strip aside to focus on the perfume I had actually ordered. Chimaera seemed to be written off for the time being.
Sometimes I spray one of my samples in the evening while sitting in front of the TV to remind myself how certain scents smell. That day, I chose Chimaera.
The first seconds on my skin felt distinctly different from my memory. The warmth of my skin brought out the heart and base notes much better, and at that point, the scent would have already received an 8/10 from me. After another 10 minutes, I gradually recognized the complexity of this fragrance. I had never smelled such a balanced scent before. It perfectly balances sweetness, woods, fruits, flowers, and leathery oud notes. The scent is simply heavenly. Moreover, it lasts a perceived 12 hours.
It quickly became clear that I had to have this fragrance. It is now among my top 3 scents, so I can only recommend it. My surroundings perceive it differently. For completely inexperienced noses, it might be too intense. Additionally, many still have the image in their heads that men should wear fresh scents like Dior Sauvage or Chanel Bleu. Some found it too feminine. My girlfriend says it smells like incense sticks. :D
