The story behind the bottle.
Oterma by Tiziana Terenzi, launched in 2021 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is an intricate blend of white florals and woody undertones that evoke a sense of lasting elegance. The tuberose takes center stage, its bold presence balanced by the subtle nuances of lily-of-the-valley and magnolia. This composition is further enriched with earthy notes like cypriol oil and Cambodian oud, creating an animalic undercurrent that adds depth and complexity to the fragrance.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the full essence of Oterma. The fragrance blooms gradually on skin, so it's best to apply early in the day for maximum longevity. It reads better close to the skin rather than diffusing into a room.
