The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Lince by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2018 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi. This unisex fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of citrus notes — bergamot, orange, and grapefruit — that cut through the rich aromatic profile of absinthe and star anise. The heart of Lince is where it truly shines: iris, jasmine, and Bulgarian rose create a lush floral blend that balances the spicy undertones. This composition leads into a warm base of vanilla, heliotrope, ambergris, musk, and sandalwood, which envelops the wearer in a cozy, comforting embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Lince in light layers to allow its nuanced notes to unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are vibrant but fleeting, while the base notes will linger for hours. This fragrance reads best close to skin, making it ideal for intimate settings or daytime wear.
