The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Akragas by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2022 with Paolo Terenzi at the helm. This unisex fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of myrtle and seaweed, creating an immediate connection to the seaside. The heart notes of neroli and grapefruit infuse a refreshing zest, while red thyme and geranium add a herbal complexity that grounds the composition. As it settles into a base of atlas cedar, Singapore patchouli, benzoin, Madagascar vanilla, and musk, Akragas transforms into an enveloping warmth with hints of salt and woodsmoke.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow the complex notes to unfold gradually. The marine and herbal top notes are most prominent during the first hour, while the warm base notes emerge later and linger close to the skin.
