Burdel

The bustling energy of a city street at dusk, where the crispness of cardamom blends with the smoldering richness of oud and vanilla.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, Burdel is a complex Oriental Woody fragrance that captures the essence of contradiction. The composition opens with Calabrian bergamot and Guatemalan cardamom, providing a bright and spicy freshness that contrasts sharply with the rich, warm base notes of Indian oud, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk. This interplay between fresh citrus and deep woody accords creates an intriguing tension that evolves throughout the day, making it both invigorating and comforting.

How to wear it

Apply Burdel lightly in the morning for a balanced experience throughout the day. The fresh spicy notes dissipate within an hour, giving way to the deeper, more enveloping base notes that last well into the evening.
