The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Tiziana Terenzi, Alioth is a Woody Spicy fragrance created by Paolo Terenzi. The composition opens with saffron and green bell pepper, adding a fresh spicy contrast to the rich, warm base of oud and ambergris. The heart notes of Bulgarian rose and patchouli create an intriguing tension between floral sweetness and earthy depth, while ylang-ylang and nagarmotha add layers of complexity.
Alioth is a fragrance that projects well and has a long-lasting base. Apply it in light sprays to allow the layers to unfold gradually over time. It's particularly effective when worn close to skin, enhancing its warmth and complexity.
