Tiziana Terenzi
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Italian saffron hits with that distinctive metallic-medicinal punch, briefly lifted by orange before jasmine's indolic sweetness crashes into raw birch tar leather. The effect is jarring, almost abrasive—like catching the scent of expensive luggage being assembled in a perfume atelier, all phenolic smoke and bitter orange rind.
The white floral accord swells dramatically as magnolia and ylang ylang intertwine with lily of the valley's soapy green facets, creating an opulent floral haze that paradoxically intensifies the leather rather than softening it. Ambergris emerges with its saline, skin-like warmth, whilst oakmoss adds earthy shadows around the edges. The sweetness climbs but never tips into gourmand territory, held in check by leather's persistent astringency.
Tuscan leather settles into a chalky, almost powdery suede texture, supported by creamy sandalwood and the diffuse glow of amber. Musk provides an intimate skin-scent quality whilst traces of smoky birch linger like the memory of extinguished candles. What remains is quieter but no less assertive—a second-skin leather with spectral floral whispers.
Spirito Fiorentino captures the duality of Florentine craftsmanship—the sharp astringency of artisan leather workshops colliding with the heady florals spilling from Renaissance courtyard gardens. Paolo Terenzi orchestrates an almost confrontational opening where Italian saffron's metallic tang meets orange in a brief citric flourish before the leather accord stamps its authority across the composition. This isn't supple lambskin; it's the raw, phenolic bite of birch tar merged with Tuscan leather's chalky, suede-like texture, creating something simultaneously refined and brutally direct.
The white floral bouquet—jasmine, magnolia, ylang ylang, lily of the valley—refuses to play demure supporting act. Instead, these notes weave through the leather like incense smoke through a sacristy, their honeyed indolic richness intensifying rather than softening the composition's leathery spine. Ambergris lends a saline, almost animalic warmth that bridges the gap between flower and hide. The oakmoss contribution feels deliberately restrained, offering earthy bitterness without veering into fougère territory.
