The story behind the bottle.
Cassiopea, launched by Tiziana Terenzi in 2015 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a Chypre Floral fragrance that blends fruity freshness with aromatic depth. The scent opens with passionfruit and cassis, bringing a vibrant burst of fruitiness that quickly gives way to the zesty brightness of lemon. The heart notes feature fern, tea rose, lily-of-the-valley, and carnation, creating an intricate floral bouquet that is both delicate and lush. The base of tonka bean, musk, and sandalwood adds a warm, powdery finish with hints of vanilla sweetness.
Apply Cassiopea to pulse points for a balanced experience — the top notes are bright but fleeting, while the musky base develops over time. A light spritz in the morning allows the fragrance to evolve throughout the day.
