The story behind the bottle.
Nero Oudh by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2019 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi. This unisex fragrance is a captivating blend of woody, warm spicy, and earthy accords, with the bold presence of oud at its core. The composition opens with saffron and cypriol oil, adding a fresh spiciness that contrasts beautifully with the rich and resinous notes of Indian oud and patchouli. Rose geranium and ylang-ylang bring floral warmth to the heart, while magnolia and Bulgarian rose add depth and complexity. The base notes of guaiac wood, cedar, and violet create an earthy foundation that is further enhanced by ambergris and musk, giving Nero Oudh a distinctive metallic undertone.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The top notes are bright but fade within an hour, allowing the rich oud and earthy base to take center stage. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for quiet evenings or intimate moments.
