Description
The Kirkè Tiziana Terenzi Extrait de Parfum takes inspiration from the myth of Circe and from the wild Mediterranean landscapes south of Rome, translating them into a lush, sun soaked fruity oriental. It reads like a modern take on the “enchanted potion” idea, where ripe fruit, warm sand and sensual woods come together in a dense, enveloping trail. Within a curated selection, it stands as an unapologetically hedonistic artifact, built for impact and presence rather than discretion.
The scent opens with an exuberant cocktail of passion fruit, peach, pear, raspberry and blackcurrant, often described as juicy, almost nectar like. A “warm sand” nuance folds into this brightness, hinting at heated skin and coastal air rather than a simple fruit salad. The extrait concentration ensures that this opening is not just a flash, but lingers with weight and texture on skin.
In the heart, a soft lily of the valley accord introduces a more floral, slightly green nuance that stops the composition from becoming flatly sweet. It acts almost like a bridge between the sparkling fruit top and the creamier, more resinous base. This middle phase keeps the fragrance radiant while gently tightening the structure so it does not collapse under its own richness.
The drydown builds on heliotrope, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli and musk, creating a warm, powdery woody base with a distinctly velvety feel. Vanilla and heliotrope bring almonded creaminess, sandalwood and patchouli add depth, and musks wrap everything in a long lasting, sensual haze. Projection and longevity are generally strong, making Kirkè particularly suited to evenings, colder weather or any situation where a bold, memorable signature is the goal.
