The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Kaff by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2017 and is crafted by Paolo Terenzi. This fragrance opens with the fresh spicy notes of juniper and pink pepper, balanced by the warm earthiness of ginger and vetiver. The heart of white iris and magnolia adds a touch of floral warmth before transitioning into a base that combines leather, sandalwood, and ambergris for an animalic depth. The composition is both crisp and enveloping, making it a versatile choice for any time of day.

How to wear it

Apply Kaff in light layers for a balanced experience. The spicy top notes are vibrant but fade quickly, giving way to the woody and powdery base that lasts throughout the day. It pairs well with layered clothing, allowing the scent to unfold close to the skin.
