Tiziana Terenzi
Look at the names in this collection and you are looking at a star chart. Halley, Andromeda, Cassiopea, Ursa, Draco, Saiph, Tabit, Orza, Telea, Kirke. Tiziana Terenzi is a family house from the Marche region of Italy that began in candles and moved into perfume, and it kept the astronomical naming as a through line. The bottles are heavy, hand-finished and unmistakable on a shelf.
The concentration is the first thing to understand. Most of these are extrait de parfum, sold in 100ml or 3.38 oz bottles, and they behave accordingly. One or two sprays is a full day. Kirke, the fruity one built on passionfruit and peach over patchouli, is the widest entry point and the one most people come in asking about. Halley is smoky and mineral. Andromeda and Cassiopea sit in the bright, airy, slightly saline register the house does well. Ursa, Telea and Atlantide are the plush, resinous end.
Beyond the constellations there is Gold Rose Oudh for anyone who wants rose and oud without restraint, Foconero and Gumin for smoke and spice, Moro di Venezia and Maremma for the Italian landscape, Casanova for something more classical, and the Saiph Attar, an oil rather than a spray.
These are serious purchases and the collection is deep, so sampling first is not optional. Several listings include 5ml and 10ml decants, and the store keeps testers open.
