Caput Mundi by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2018 and is crafted by Paolo Terenzi, offering a rich blend of woody, spicy, and animalic notes. The composition opens with cabreuva and Bulgarian rose before diving into the heart of iris and lily-of-the-valley. Indian oud and saffron lead to a warm base of sandalwood, ambergris, and cashmere wood. This fragrance is neither masculine nor feminine in its conventional sense but rather an ode to the complexity of human emotions.

Application Tips
Caput Mundi's base notes take time to bloom, so it’s best to apply it well before you need to leave. Two sprays should be sufficient as the fragrance projects strongly once settled on the skin.
