The story behind the bottle.
Zubenel by Tiziana Terenzi, launched in 2024 and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, is a warm and enveloping fragrance that blends rich chocolate, spicy notes, and woody accords. The composition opens with ambrette and frankincense, creating an intriguing tension between the earthy warmth of the spices and the subtle sweetness of ambergris and dark chocolate. This balance evolves into a heart of bourbon vanilla and caramel, before settling into a base of sandalwood, birch, and patchouli that provides depth and longevity.
Apply Zubenel in small amounts — the rich base notes take time to bloom on skin. A single spray is sufficient for a lasting presence that evolves throughout the day.
