The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bigia by Tiziana Terenzi, launched in 2016 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a complex composition that plays with contrasts. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of saffron and red fruits, followed by the lush sweetness of passionfruit. At its heart, rose and magnolia blend with white orchid to create a floral bouquet that's both refined and richly textured. The base notes of oud, amber, and sand ground the scent in warmth and earthiness, making it feel simultaneously grounded and luxurious.

How to wear it

Bigia's top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so aim for two sprays on pulse points to ensure they linger. The warm base notes develop over time, making it ideal for an afternoon start that evolves into the evening.
