The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Adhara by Tiziana Terenzi is a fragrance that balances the warmth of vanilla and tobacco against the coolness of Sicilian bitter orange. Paolo Terenzi crafted this composition to evoke a rich, complex scent profile that transitions seamlessly from day into night. The interplay between the ambergris and patchouli creates an animalic warmth, while the floral notes of orchid and tuberose add a touch of elegance. This unisex fragrance is designed for those who appreciate layers and nuance in their scents.

How to wear it

Adhara's rich base notes take time to bloom fully. Apply two sprays in the morning for a scent that evolves throughout the day. The ambergris and patchouli will develop best close to skin, so avoid over-spraying in open spaces.
