The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Dionisio by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2018 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, the nose behind this Oriental Vanilla fragrance for both women and men. The composition centers around a rich vanilla accord that is complemented by warm amber and musky notes, creating an enveloping warmth. Oud adds a deep, smoky complexity, while powdery and white floral accords introduce a subtle softness. This blend results in a scent that feels both intimate and expansive, perfect for those who appreciate layers of depth.

How to wear it

Dionisio is best applied in two sprays to the pulse points. The vanilla and amber notes are immediate and long-lasting, so additional layers aren't necessary. This fragrance performs well throughout the day, making it suitable for both daytime and evening wear.
