Tiziana Terenzi - Luna Collection - Lince Extrait de Parfum 100 ml
A bright and intoxicating extrait de parfum from Tiziana Terenzi, Lince is a timeless ode to the constellation that gives its name. Romantic notes of bergamot, rose and jasmine create a sparkling introduction, given depth and sensuality with sandalwood and vanilla that extends to a heady base of amber and musk.
On a particularly dark, cold, late winter night on the very cusp of spring, Paolo and Tiziana were in Palermo with their grandfather Guglielmo and the whole family. In the city the festivities for the Solstice were being prepared and the people were animated by that confident euphoria that precedes great events, full of expectation for the blessing of the new harvest, fruit of their hard work in the fields. Luck, they said, was coming to town and so they lit up the darkness with fires and the streets with the colour and hypnotic perfumes of flowers.
The sky was the blackest of blacks and a light mist hid the steps of the children as they ventured out into the alleys between the baroque palaces to see the bonfires that brightened the valley with long tongues of fire, their crackling breaking the uncanny silence that lay upon the city.
Their grandfather traced the outline of a constellation suspended in the heavens that is only visible on the darkest of nights. Even on these rare occasions the beautiful, seldom noticed stars that comprise it are revealed only to the eyes of those really experienced and patient observers who are willing to wait and recognize them. So too an artistic scent is revealed only to those true connoisseurs who have the knowledge and the soul to understand it!
The vault of the heavens looked like a black cloak that had enveloped, no swallowed the entire milky way, but Guglielmo skillfully began to point out tiny luminous dots that seemed distant at first but grew steadily in intensity, becoming evermore beautiful and mysterious as the children stared at them. Lince is in fact famous for being a constellation full of double stars, pulsating like a beacon in the night, sending signals to travelers and dreamers.
Wrapped in this dark sky the scent of the flowers strewn on the streets for the festivities pulsed lush and hypnotic, whisking the children away on a dreamlike journey as if on the wings of the hippogriff that had once lived here in Sicily!
Following in the footsteps of the winged horse, whose exploits inspired the entire Luna collection, we discover this wonderful creation. It opens with the freshness of Sicilian citrus fruits, bergamot and orange emerge emphasized by grapefruit all imbued the hypnotic power of absinthe, tempered by the unusual touch of star anise and green tea.
The rapidly beating heart that follows this sparkling head in rapid succession opens with the soothing scent of flowers. A seductive and sensual fragrance where ,among others, precious Jasmine Absolute with Bulgarian Rose and Royal Iris stand out from the carpet of typical regional fruits such as Fig and Neroli. The structure’s strength is based on a persuasive and intensly seductive foundation, where the sweetness of precious vanilla is combined with Indian sandalwood and the unobtainable musk from the Terenzi library.
This precious elixir of seduction is further enriched with fatal power by the hypnotic strength of heliotropic paired with musk and ambergris.
A drop of liquid seduction inspired by beautiful Sicily.
