Orza
Orza by Tiziana Terenzi is an unisex extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with green apple, mandarin, plum, coconut, raspberry and blackberry, moves into jasmine, bulgarian rose and lily of the valley and dries down to ambergris, sandalwood, benzoin, white musk, vanilla and caramel. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Green Apple Tart, crunchy and sharp. Cleaner and cooler than red apple.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
- Blackberry Dark, jammy and wine-like. Deeper than most berries.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Bulgarian Rose Fresh, dewy and green. The 'real rose garden' version.
- Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Dry-down
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
