I like fragrances from Tiziana Terenzi. They are usually very high quality, intense, have character, and great performance.
Not so with "Sirrah"...
At first, I thought "Wow, what a great scent! A must-have." It started off very nicely: finely green. If those are fruits, then they are not ripe and juicy, but still green-fresh. Over time, very subtle leather notes join in - this makes the fragrance incredibly appealing.
A lovely musk (a lot of it) comes in and turns the whole thing into a very fine, green-milky, noble skin scent. I say skin scent because at this stage (1st hour) the fragrance does not project properly yet.
In the 2nd hour, a distinct birch tar note comes in (at least that's how I perceive it). It makes the fragrance significantly more masculine, but also more interesting. (By the way, I don't perceive any floral notes at all).
A nasty transformation happens unexpectedly in the 3rd hour: gone is the ethereal-fine green-resinous scent. Long live the exhaust fumes! Or the chlorine cleaners! I can't describe this extremely unpleasantly synthetic, toxic-smelling note any other way. (Similar note to the JNxNJ-John Varvatos x Nick Jonas (crimson) in the red bottle, which ruined any enjoyment I had of that fragrance)
I still don't know what exactly it is that smells so much like chlorine to me. But this note or accord projects quite strongly, it's very hard to wash away, and it's annoying!!!!
But the fragrance remains so chlorine-rich all day long.
For me, definitely a big flop.
What a shame, it could have been so beautiful between us....
