The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the zesty citrus meets the warm embrace of spices and earth.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Draconis by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2019 and is a Woody Spicy fragrance crafted by Paolo Terenzi. The composition opens with the bright zest of lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot, which quickly gives way to the fresh spice of pepper and geranium. Vetiver and patchouli provide an earthy warmth, while amber rounds out the base notes with a cozy, smoldering comfort. This fragrance is neither overtly sweet nor overly sharp; instead, it strikes a balance between freshness and depth.

How to wear it

Draconis has a strong initial burst from its top notes, which fade within an hour. For best results, apply it close to skin for a more intimate experience rather than letting it fill a room. Two sprays are enough to carry you through the day without overpowering.
