The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Smeralda, launched in 2025 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant, dynamic space. The composition opens with pink grapefruit and mint for a fresh, invigorating start before ginger and cognac introduce warmth and depth. This contrast continues as myrtle and black pepper add an aromatic edge to the heart, while tobacco and ambergris lend a subtle smokiness. The base notes of virginian cedar, sandalwood, iris, cinnamon, vanilla, musk, leather, vetiver, patchouli, and incense ground the scent with rich, earthy warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Smeralda in light layers to allow each note to unfold gradually. The freshness of its top notes is best experienced close to skin, while the base notes will provide a comforting warmth throughout the day.
