Spirito Fiorentino
Tiziana Terenzi Spirito Fiorentino Extrait de Parfum 100ml opens as a white floral and ends somewhere much darker, and the distance between those two points is the whole appeal.
Lily is the lead, tall and waxy with a green stem bitterness, and jasmine beside it adds the heavier sweetness. Orange gives a quick bright rind lift and saffron runs underneath, dry and a little metallic, which is an early warning that this is not going to stay pretty. Saffron that early is a warning shot, and anybody who has worn saffron before will read it correctly.
The middle thickens. Ylang ylang is rich and heady with a thick creaminess, magnolia brighter and cleaner, lily of the valley green and dewy, and amber is already warming the whole arrangement from below. Magnolia is the material keeping the middle bright. Without it this stage would be thick rather than rich, and the difference between those two things is most of what makes a white floral wearable.
The base is where it changes character entirely. Birch brings tar and smoke, leather a worn animal weight, oakmoss earth and damp bitterness, sandalwood creaminess, and musk a soft finish. Thirteen materials, and the flowers never quite disappear under them, which is the clever part. The oakmoss is the material that determines whether you get on with it, and it is used generously.
Extrait strength means a high oil load and that shows in the wear: all day and then some, with the first two hours carrying real reach. Cooler weather suits it and so do evenings, and it reads unisex because of how dark the base runs. The house behind it opened in Italy in 2012, the work of Paolo Terenzi and his sister Tiziana, and it carries a family candle making trade over into small batch perfumery and heavily decorated glass.
