Kirke
Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi is a feminine-leaning extrait de parfum from 2013 in the luxury price tier. It opens with passionfruit, peach and blackcurrant, moves into lychee, jasmine and rose and dries down to musk, sandalwood and amber. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
