The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Ephesos by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2023 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, blending a rich blend of fruity and woody accords with the opulent presence of tuberose. The composition opens with passionfruit and black currant, followed by calabrian bergamot and italian lemon, creating a vibrant and fresh top note. As it evolves, the heart notes of ylang-ylang and peach introduce a sweet and floral warmth, while the base notes of oak moss, ambergris, and musk add an earthy and animalic depth. This fragrance is neither traditionally masculine nor feminine, making it a versatile choice for those seeking a complex and intriguing scent.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with two to three sprays for optimal longevity. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so letting it settle before layering is recommended. It pairs well with a jacket or cardigan, allowing the warm base notes to emerge gradually throughout the day.
