Launched in 2014 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, Chimaera is a complex Oriental Spicy fragrance that defies easy categorization. The composition opens with fresh and warm spices like saffron and black pepper, leading into an aromatic heart of thyme and bay leaf. This herbal warmth transitions seamlessly into a base of leather, tobacco, and balsamic notes, creating a rich blend that evokes both the rugged outdoors and the intimate comfort of a well-worn favorite.
