Adhara
Adhara by Tiziana Terenzi is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bitter orange, tobacco, caramel and tonka bean, moves into orchid, lily of the valley, tuberose and magnolia and dries down to patchouli, vanilla, ambergris and oud. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bitter Orange Marmalade without the sugar. Sour and slightly medicinal.
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Heart
- Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
