White Fire Tiziana Terenzi 2012 Extrait de Parfum

Yes, but surely there is an oxygen accord, an ice accord too, Augusta snorts, I can smell it in this top note. The nostrils open, a deep breath. This opening is cloaked in green and glue, or solvents if you will, yes that sounds dreadful, but it is really decisively different and smells exceptionally good! A brief shallow breath is followed by a deep inhale. This is not aromatherapy, rather an aroma experiment, although there is nothing wrong with breathing exercises.
The transition into a somewhat treacherous jasmine is perfectly veiled by this familiar synthetic and pleasantly sharp almost sweetness with a green tinge. And with plenty of air, from the very beginning. The scent is airy, not ethereal, neither fantasy nor close to nature.
Rather cold and hot from the fire in the snow. Admittedly, it fits. One can also set the image aside and simply find the scent white, green, slightly resinous, and only then floral. The top note is practically upside down and is as permeable as possible. This is why AugustA considers this scent to be one of the most exciting in her small collection. The effect is exhilarating in the sense of awakening, sparking curiosity for more and for something different. The different here is the jasmine. It shines and blazes in white, white white. Not indolic, not fleshy. But hot and cool at the same time. Accompanied by a dry and a resinous wood note. Honestly - I know nothing comparable.

This wonderful peculiarity with flashlight feeling in the snow under intense sun glitter remains for a while, but recedes into the background in favor of this gentle and light-footed, almost weightless jasmine-wood note that lingers. Always haunting back and forth on the skin and in perception.

Flickering light, hot and cold at the same time. Fascinating. Intellectually appealing and heartwarming exciting at the same time. With the first breath, landed on an ice planet, with constantly glaring sun and this strange foreignness that feels so familiar.
