Hello dear community,
I have only sampled Tiziana Terenzi sporadically and haven't quite warmed up to the house yet. However, when purchasing a sample collection, this fragrance was included among others, and what can I say, it impressed me so positively that I ordered the bottle at a good price right away.
The fragrance starts off spicy, sweet floral but also somewhat fresh and fruity, and has a pleasant lightness. For me, the impression of the top note lasts relatively long (>1h), with increasingly more balsamic woods and an elegant light rose joining in, making the scent progressively drier. The very bright Oud never comes across as animalic to my nose.
As the Oud unfolds, there is also the impression of a light leather note, which, if you focus on it, always smells like wood to me.
In the drydown, the fragrance remains sweet and dry, dominated by very light woods.
The longevity of the fragrance is above average for me. You can still perceive it on the skin the next day.
What I liked about the fragrance is the certain lightness and carefree feeling it conveys. The scent feels a bit crazy, works with certain (slightly) contrasting impressions, and radiates joy of life for me.
It simply puts me in a good mood and reminds me not to take everything, and perhaps especially myself, too seriously.
Additionally, I really like the unusually bright wood notes.
For me, the fragrance is exactly 50:50 unisex.
Edit: Regarding my price evaluation. You can find the fragrance in some shops for less than half of the MSRP. At ~2€/ml, I find the fragrance very good.
