Tiziana Terenzi - Orion Extrait de Parfum 100 ml
As children during the hot, sunny days of summer, Tiziana and I spent most of our time with our grandfather in the countryside. He would fill our days with magic tales, teaching us the wonders of the world.
Our father Evelino often accompanied us on holiday trips with his sailboat made entirely of fragrant wood. We would cut through the seas on this boat, with bright eyes and an eagerness for new discoveries, getting to know the infinite beauty of the Italy we loved.
Just a few miles from our city, there is an enchanted mountain that hurls itself against the sea, creating a breath-taking scene: Mount Conero.
The rocks and forests are mirrored in the crystal clear water of one of the most beautiful bays in Italy, which is protected by two peaks, the Two Sisters, that were thrown into the sea by the gods.
We would depart in the middle of the night accompanied by light breezes that trailed the cheerful scent of the Mediterranean scrub throughout the entire voyage.
Orienting himself by the stars, our Father sailed confidently, while our Grandfather Guglielmo pointed out the constellation Orion and its mythical belt. On occasion we would see fire on dry land and bonfires that revealed dangers to the sailors. Our hearts were met with an explosion of scents
carried on the summer's warm winds that still reverberate in us today.
Orion is a result of that faraway echo. It is a spicy, intense perfume, strong yet delicate at the same time. The bouquet of citrus makes it effervescent, in contrast to the sweetness of the pineapple and the roundedness of the apple, all of which lead to its brilliant wake of spicy balance
composed of thyme and oregano.
A cool breeze swirls past when it is worn, and a reminder of the select wood accompanies us on a dreamlike voyage towards the Infinite.

The Luna project
Tiziana Terenzi presents her new style project dedicated to the "future of memory". It is an artistic exploration that bases its principles on Tiziana's classic collection, enriching the basic features with fine details from the Stylists's jewellery-making experience.
Tiziana Terenzi Luna
The literary tradition of the medieval chivalric epic "Chanson de Geste", and its subsequent more popular form, tells us that all lost items, or rather items that have "gone astray", end up on the moon. The moon is the place where dreams and tears, love and reason, days of idleness and unfinished deeds are kept in precious glass ampoules. Bottles rather similar to those used to contain Tiziana Terenzi's precious essences today. By opening them and breathing in their content, a ritual that is repeated when we "taste" a perfume, we become the owners of the lost object therein. And when wearing one of these perfumes, we feel a sense of wonder, because this collection embodies the essence of "re-discovery", of recognising the dearest possessions we thought we had lost, or perhaps did not even know that we had forgotten. Wearing these fragrances takes us on an epic journey to the moon in search of our precious lost object.
"The chariot, towering, threads the fiery sphere,/And rises thence into the lunar reign." Thus begins Canto XXXIV of Orlando Furioso, in which the protagonist, the Knight Astolfo, is sent to the moon on a special mission: he must recover Orlando's wits, which he has lost because of love.
Astolfo, Orlando's faithful companion who wants to return the Knight to his senses, travels to the moon on the back of a hippogriff, an incredible, magical, winged horse. Having reached his destination, Astolfo can see everything that has been collected: a rich and varied collection of things that have been lost on earth. Not only the riches and glories of ancient kingdoms, but also the tears and sighs of lovers, the time wasted by men and the projects that they never completed. Tiziana Terenzi wanted to retrieve her own "lost object" from the Moon, by completing an unfinished task that she has been working on for years. An artistic project that combines her golden poetic extraction with the verbalisation of scents that explore cosmic boundaries.Tales of a lunar fire that warms and nourishes travellers on the imagination's journey through distant memories, tales of trips that Tiziana and I made at an early age to memorable places in Italy, of bonfires and moonlight. Maybe that is why in this collection, more than ever, the fairy-tale element of memory clearly emerges, giving her assayers a fragrance created with the pure heart of the child within us, absolutely devoid of any contamination and influenced only by an artistic, loving imagination.The times when we were children, gazing at the sky on warm summer evenings, in the company of our grandfather Guglielmo and our father Evelino come to mind. On the flowered hills close to home, drowning in the scents and aromas of wild nature, we learned to recognise the stars and listened to the poems recited by our grandfather, together with the whole family, around a cheerful, crackling fire. These magical, happy evenings in the moonlight gave rise to a private collection of rare and precious essences, a secret shared only by Tiziana and Paolo. This small but tremendous treasure was composed of such rare and expensive essences that it simply could not be offered to others, unless as a gift. And indeed they had never shared it with anyone else until now. It is.
After more than twenty years of patient toil spent seeking and jealously preserving these rare components, today we are pleased and excited to present four fragrances that embody our most complex stylistic project: Tiziana Terenzi Luna. An exclusive collection inspired by the beauty of wonderment. Childlike wonderment, lost and then found, to be enclosed in the drops of a "lost"perfume which has never been revealed until now. Our own ride on the hippogriff has led us to create four stellar (or mythological or lunar) wonders:
Andromeda
Ursa Major
Draw
Cassiopea
