The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Paolo Terenzi crafted Saiph in 2017 for Tiziana Terenzi, a fragrance that marries the freshness of ozonic and green notes with the warmth of vanilla and musk. The opening is crisp and vibrant, thanks to lemon and bergamot, which give way to a heart of rose and passionfruit. This contrast sets up a dynamic interplay between the bright and the rich, creating a scent that feels both light and enveloping.

Saiph's distinctive blend of florals like iris and woody notes such as cedar and vetiver add depth and complexity, making it a fragrance that evolves throughout the day without ever overwhelming. It’s a perfect example of Tiziana Terenzi’s signature style — elegant yet approachable.

How to wear it

Apply Saiph to pulse points for the best effect — its ozonic opening is fleeting but impactful. The fragrance's heart notes emerge within an hour and carry through the day, so a light spritz in the morning is sufficient.
