The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Tughra, launched by Tiziana Terenzi in 2023 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is an exploration of rich, complex aromas that evoke the opulent atmospheres of ancient courts. The composition opens with nutmeg and myrrh, leading into a heart of frankincense and African marigold, before settling into a base of Laotian, Cambodian, and Indian ouds, guaiac wood, ambergris, and musk. This unisex fragrance is neither masculine nor feminine but rather a sophisticated blend that reads as luxurious warmth and depth.

How to wear it

Tughra’s base notes take a while to bloom, so it's best applied in light layers. The ouds and ambergris are long-lasting but develop gradually, making this fragrance ideal for evening wear or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
