Tiziana Terenzi
Orion EDP
“Dark leather and incense under a starless sky — commanding and unhurried.”
Often compared to Creed Aventus as a smoky-fruity-woody luxury-niche alternative — Tiziana Terenzi's 2017 launch. A smoky-leather-fruity-woody unisex fragrance with bergamot and cardamom at the top, a leather-iris-woody heart, and an oud-musk-amber-patchouli base. Performs balanced across spring through fall, leans daytime, lasts 10-plus hours with strong projection.
The take

- ●Beast-mode performance at the extrait concentration
- ●Distinct masculine personality rare at this price
Trade-offs
