A bustling urban park at the height of summer — where the smell of ripe mango and passionfruit mingles with fresh-cut grass, blooming flowers, and a hint of warm spices.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Vele by Tiziana Terenzi was launched in 2017 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi. This fragrance is a vibrant Floral Fruity composition that balances the lushness of tropical fruits with fresh, green notes and subtle spiciness. The opening features mango and passionfruit alongside green leaves and fir, creating an immediate sensation of freshness and vitality. As it evolves, heliotrope and ylang-ylang bring a floral sweetness to the mix, while hog plum and jasmine add depth and warmth. The base of vanilla and musk rounds out this dynamic scent with a powdery, comforting finish.

How to wear it

Apply Vele lightly to avoid overwhelming its delicate balance. The tropical top notes are bright but fleeting, while the floral heart and powdery base provide lasting warmth. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, lively scent that evolves throughout the day.
