by Tiziana Terenzi
Gumin by Tiziana Terenzi is a bold, highly projecting unisex fragrance that unfolds with a bright, citrusic opening of mandarin, bergamot, and pineapple, followed by a complex heart of ozonic, floral, and amber notes. It evolves into a deep, musky, woody drydown featuring agarwood, sandalwood, birch, and amber, creating a luxurious and long-lasting impression. The scent is dense and intense rather than airy or fresh, with strong sillage and remarkable longevity that can last well beyond 12 hours. It transitions from a vibrant fruity ozonic aroma to a rich, dark, masculine-scented base that many compare to Mefisto, Silver Mountain Water, and Creed Aventus, though it is distinct in its balance and intensity. While some find it compelling and atmospheric, others report it feels harsh, overly projecting, or dominated by a sharp ozone or metallic note that causes irritation.
