Tiziana Terenzi Afrodite is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Paolo Terenzi. Afrodite opens with White Currant, Lilac, Pink Pepper, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Neroli, Iris, Geranium, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Tiziana Terenzi's Afrodite carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a clean, creamy floral that leans heavily on lilac and peach, with a polarising patchouli presence. Some find it a beautifully soft and versatile scent, others can't get past that 'mainstream' fruity-patchouli blend.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

While its longevity is praised, Afrodite's moderate sillage and soft, clean floral nature make it versatile for most settings without being overwhelming. It's especially suited for dates and casual wear due to its sensual and comforting appeal, but its unique floral-fruity-patchouli combination might not be a unanimous hit in formal or office environments.

Declarable allergens

About

Afrodite unfurls with a delicate, powdery lilac, complemented by the sweet, juicy burst of peach and a hint of tart white currant. As it settles, a bouquet of lily of the valley and iris emerges, underpinned by a creamy vanilla and subtle spice. The dry down offers a comforting blend of soft musk, warm sandalwood, and a grounding touch of ebony and patchouli, creating a clean yet sensual floral experience.
