Chiron

The cozy quiet of a well-worn leather armchair in a library, where the scent of aged books mixes with the subtle richness of vanilla and tobacco.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Chiron by Tiziana Terenzi, launched in 2021 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a Woody fragrance for women and men that balances rich warmth with subtle complexity. The composition opens with the sweetness of Vanilla Orchid and Bourbon Vanilla, which gradually melds into deeper notes like Tonka Bean, Tobacco, and Ambergris. This interplay between sweet and smoky creates an atmosphere that feels both comforting and intriguing.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the rich base notes like Tobacco and Ambergris have time to develop. This fragrance blooms gradually over an hour or so, making it perfect for a leisurely evening at home rather than a quick morning dash.
