by Tiziana Terenzi
Bigia by Tiziana Terenzi is a strikingly unique fragrance that blends passionfruit, saffron, and rose into a soft yet complex profile. Its fruity opening is tart and bright, with red fruit and saffron creating a distinctive, slightly Indian-inspired aura that some find overwhelming. The middle unfolds with magnolia and musk, adding a gentle floral-musky depth, while the base features agarwood (oud), amber, sand, and musk, lending a quiet, warm longevity. Despite the presence of oud in the formula, its expression varies greatly by skin: some perceive a subtle, balanced oud foundation, while others describe it as almost absent, drowned by the opening's fruit and saffron intensity. The scent feels more subdued than bold—gentle, elegant, and remarkably long-lasting for many users, especially during evening wear. Its adaptability across seasons, particularly in autumn and winter, is a noted strength.
