Cassiopea
Cassiopea by Tiziana Terenzi is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with passionfruit, lemon, blackcurrant and fern, moves into carnation, lily of the valley and tea rose and dries down to sandalwood, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Fern Not a real smell — the mossy, coumarin idea of a fern that named the fougère.
Heart
- Carnation Spicy, clove-like floral. Old-school and a bit peppery.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
- Tea Rose A paler, greener rose. Less jam, more stem and fresh petal.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
