The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 by Tiziana Terenzi, Andromeda is a fragrance that balances sweet and woody notes with an elegant floral heart. Created by Paolo Terenzi, it opens with the freshness of bergamot and grass, followed by the softness of peach and pear blossom. The core of this composition features ylang-ylang, water jasmine, lily, white heliotrope, violet leaf, and damask rose, all working together to create a warm, enveloping atmosphere. The base notes of cashmere wood, amber, ebony, tonka bean, vanilla, coconut, and sugar add depth and sweetness, grounding the fragrance with a touch of powdery warmth.
For best effect, apply Andromeda lightly — its sweet and woody base notes bloom slowly over time. It's ideal for evening or cooler weather when the powdery warmth can linger close to your skin without overpowering.
