Andromeda

Andromeda by Tiziana Terenzi is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, cut grass, ylang-ylang and jasmine, moves into lily, violet, damask rose, pear, heliotrope and peach and dries down to coconut, amber, vanilla, cashmere wood, ebony and tonka bean. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Cut Grass Exactly what it says. Sharp, wet and nostalgic.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Heart

Lily A big, creamy, slightly spicy white flower. The kind that fills a room.
Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Damask Rose The rich, jammy, honeyed rose. Deep and slightly wine-like.
Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.

Dry-down

Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Ebony Dense, dry and dark. Wood with no sweetness to it.
Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
