by Tiziana Terenzi
Telea by Tiziana Terenzi presents a clean, fresh, and slightly sweet aromatic profile reminiscent of a high-end floral shampoo or a refreshing post-shower moment. It opens with Bulgarian rose, pear, citruses, and hawthorn, evoking a light, juicy, and fruity freshness. The heart features heliotrope, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, contributing a creamy floral depth that feels both delicate and distinct. The base brings in woody and musky elements—mahogany, vetiver, oud, and oak—adding warmth and grounding the scent, though the oud arrives late and subtly. While many note similarities to BVLGARI Omnia Paraiba, Erba Pura, and Kirke, Telea distinguishes itself through its stronger projection, better longevity, and a more refined development. It performs well across spring and summer, suits both day and night wear, and is particularly regarded as satisfyingly long-lasting, even for those with fast-dissipating body chemistry. The aesthetic is striking, with a teal-colored bottle adorned with a golden octopus, enhancing its appeal as a collectible. The fragrance earns appreciation for its balanced combination of freshness and depth, especially among fans of clean, soft florals with aromatic undertones.
