The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, Telea is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that seamlessly blends fresh and sweet accords with rich woody notes. The composition opens with pear and citruses before leading into the heart of Bulgarian rose, hawthorn, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and heliotrope. This floral bouquet is then anchored by musk, Haitian vetiver, mahogany, oak, and Cambodian oud, creating a warm and enveloping base that feels both comforting and sophisticated.

How to wear it

Apply Telea lightly for a daytime wear; it blooms beautifully over time. For evening use, you can layer it with a light mist to enhance its woody base notes without overpowering the space.
