HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Chi by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2022 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi. This Oriental Woody fragrance is a composition of earthy, woody notes with hints of caramel, coffee, and vanilla, creating an atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. The opening notes of caramel and milk blend seamlessly into the heart of almond and Cambodian oud, while the base of patchouli and tonka bean adds depth and warmth. Chi is a scent that embodies the richness of a warm, comforting embrace.
Apply Chi with two sprays to allow the caramel and coffee notes to unfold over time. The fragrance blooms best on cooler skin, so it's ideal for evenings or cooler weather when its warm base notes can fully emerge.
