by Tiziana Terenzi
Wirtanen by Tiziana Terenzi is a gourmand floral oriental with a delicate balance of sweet, woody, and aromatic notes. The opening features a radiant blend of bergamot, rose, ylang-ylang, and a hint of pepper, creating an inviting, slightly herbal winter spice vibe. This evolves into a soft, powdery heart enriched with oud, jasmine, peony, and a subtle peppery warmth, before settling on a smooth base of vanilla, caramel, amber, and sandalwood. The fragrance is quietly elegant, with a trail that is both generous and restrained—its sillage is moderate to strong, and it lasts well beyond eight hours for most users, making it suitable for evening wear and winter seasons. It wears well in professional settings due to its refined, non-intrusive presence. Some find it reminiscent of a luxurious dessert or a beloved memory, while others describe a medical or antiseptic dry-down, which may be off-putting.
