The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi for Tiziana Terenzi, Lucenera is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that intertwines fresh spices with rich amber and musky notes. The composition opens with the sharp freshness of thyme and oregano, followed by the warmth of coriander and myrtle. As it develops, the scent reveals a heart of benzoin and myrrh, leading to a base of ambergris, vanilla, patchouli leaf, labdanum, musk, and sandalwood. This blend creates a dynamic tension between crisp freshness and deep warmth.
Lucenera has a strong opening that fades within the first hour. Once it settles into its heart notes, the fragrance becomes more intimate and close to skin. Apply two sprays for a balanced experience throughout the day.
