The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi for Tiziana Terenzi, Leo is a unisex fragrance that balances bright citrus with warm amber and woody notes. The composition opens with the vibrant zest of Brazilian orange, Sicilian mandarin, and kumquat, before transitioning to a heart of magnolia and Bulgarian rose, which adds an unexpected floral touch. The base notes of ambergris, musk, and Australian sandalwood create a grounding warmth that lingers throughout the day.

How to wear it

Start with one or two sprays on pulse points for a balanced experience. The bright citrus notes will fade within the first hour, so apply just before heading out to let the base notes take center stage as the day progresses.
