Tiziana Terenzi Alioth is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Paolo Terenzi. Alioth opens with Green Pepper, Pepper, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Patchouli, Rose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Tiziana Terenzi's Alioth carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't a shy one. Alioth is a regal, unapologetic oud-rose, polarising for its animalic depth but celebrated by those who crave a distinctive, opulent scent. It's an investment, but many find it utterly essential.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Alioth opens with a rich, peppery spice, featuring cardamom and saffron, before transitioning into a heart of lush Bulgarian rose, patchouli, and a subtle hint of ylang-ylang. The real power lies in the base, where animalic ambergris and robust oud blend with creamy vanilla and musk, creating a deep, complex, and long-lasting scent that's both challenging and captivating.
