Gemini
Gemini by Tiziana Terenzi is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bulgarian rose, clary sage, saffron and lavender, moves into nutmeg, marigold, sambac jasmine, incense and cypriol and dries down to patchouli, oakmoss, ambergris and haitian vetiver. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Marigold Bitter, green and herbal. Nothing like the flower looks.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
