The story behind the bottle.
Orionis by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2019 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, the nose behind this Oriental fragrance for both women and men. The scent opens with the warm embrace of incense and saffron, creating a rich, spicy atmosphere that is further enhanced by the balsamic notes of benzoin and tolu balsam. As it settles into its base, Orionis reveals a powdery, animalic character anchored by ambergris, patchouli, musk, and vanilla, evoking a sense of deep complexity and warmth.
Orionis has a long-lasting base that gradually unfolds over several hours. Apply it to pulse points for a steady release throughout the day. The warm, powdery notes are best appreciated close to skin rather than in an open space.
