The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, Kuma is a sophisticated Oriental Floral that balances vibrant fruity and citrusy top notes with warm vanilla and woody base accords. The fragrance opens with passionfruit and lemon, giving way to a heart of magnolia and lily-of-the-valley, before settling into a rich base of vanilla bean, amber, and sandalwood. This composition creates an inviting warmth that feels both comforting and fresh.
Apply Kuma lightly — the passionfruit and lemon notes are bright but fleeting. The vanilla and woody base will develop over time, so a light first pass ensures you won't miss any part of its evolution. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
