Sirrah
by Tiziana Terenzi
Sirrah by Tiziana Terenzi is a bold, complex fragrance with a strikingly airy and weightless projection despite its intense sillage. It opens with a vibrant burst of passionfruit, green pepper, and quince, creating a fresh, fruity mountain air effect that feels unusually light and ozonic. The core of the scent centers on juicy, gourmand fruit notes balanced with saffron, cardamom, and bergamot-like complexity, giving it a bright, playful character. As it evolves, the fragrance settles into a powdery Oriental base with sandalwood, patchouli, amber, and subtle leather, resulting in a lasting, almost persistent presence. Though not overtly intense in the opening, the drydown is rich with ambergris-like nuances, warm musk, and a faint green pepper note that lingers in the background for hours.
Pros
- +Extremely long-lasting with a quiet but ever-present presence through 12 hours or more
- +Effortlessly fresh and luminous, with a youthful, happy vibe ideal for warm weather
- +Uniquely balanced structure — accessible yet complex, with a velvety drydown that feels intentional and refined
Cons
- −Very strong sillage makes it overwhelming in close quarters or tiny spaces
- −Can feel synthetic or overpowered on certain skin types, especially past the 5-hour mark
- −Leans strongly feminine in profile and is challenging for men to wear confidently without clashing with personal style
