Cabiria

The first sip of a cold-pressed juice on a warm day, where the cool burst of fruit meets the subtle earthiness of fresh herbs.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Cabiria by Tiziana Terenzi, launched in 2020 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that embodies the vibrant freshness of early summer. The composition opens with green apple and mint, creating an invigorating burst of crispness, followed by melon and pear for a juicy sweetness. This fruity-aromatic opening contrasts beautifully with the warm, enveloping base notes of Bulgarian rose, ambergris, and musk, providing a rich and sensual finish.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the green and fruity top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow it some time for the rose and ambergris base to bloom fully for a more nuanced experience.
