Dionisio

Dionisio by Tiziana Terenzi is a deeply sensual, vanilla-forward fragrance with a strong ambergris and musky base, enriched with subtle floral notes of jasmine and lily of the valley. Its most striking trait is its exceptional longevity and powerful projection—those who wear it report being noticed from a distance, even after hours, and the scent lingers for days on clothing. The experience is bold, intimate, and animalic, with a creamy, slightly sweet vanilla core that can shift toward a dusty, musky, even slightly medicinal undertone, reminiscent of high-end perfumes like Guerlain’s Spiritueuse Double Vanille or Montale’s Arabians Tonka. It’s recommended for evening wear and special occasions, with most finding it best suited for cooler seasons. Despite strong emotional attachments from devoted fans, there’s clear division over its scent and performance—some describe it as a powerful, long-lasting beast of a perfume; others report recent reformulations with weakened projection, making consistency a risk. Many find its initial impression almost overwhelming, but the fragrance often mellows into a smooth, vanilla-rich dry-down.
