Tiziana Terenzi
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The spruce and pine arrive with bracing clarity, almost resinous-herbal, before the frankincense begins its slow ignition. Within moments, you're caught between fresh forest air and the dense, smoky incense of a temple interior—crisp and ceremonial simultaneously.
The violet and rose emerge as shadowed, almost spectral floral notes within a thickening cloud of patchouli smoke and bakhoor. This is where Ecstasy becomes genuinely evocative rather than merely green—the florals are rendered mournful, surrounded by resinous tendrils that smell like old wood burning and ashes settling.
The weathered wood, cistus, and sandalwood create a subtle but persistent skin scent with surprising intimacy. Tonka bean surfaces occasionally, offering a whisper of sweetness against what has evolved into something deeply earthy and leathery—a scent that lingers close to the skin, smelling less like fragrance and more like the memory of incense from hours before.
Ecstasy is an exercise in controlled combustion—a fragrance that smoulders rather than shouts. Paolo Terenzi has constructed something genuinely rare here: a unisex scent that feels neither masculine nor feminine, but rather timelessly austere.
The spruce and pine opening announces itself with a sharp, almost medicinal clarity, but this is merely the threshold. What follows is a masterclass in resinous architecture. The frankincense doesn't float decoratively; it intertwines with patchouli in a way that creates genuine smoke—not the gourmand variety, but something darker, almost liturgical. Rose and violet appear ghostlike within this haze, their brightness fractured into something more melancholic, like flowers pressed between pages of old books.
