Arethusa

by Paolo Terenzi

Tiziana Terenzi Arethusa is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Paolo Terenzi. The fragrance opens with Plum, Fig, Sandalwood, and Sage, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Pomegranate, and dries down to a base of Styrax, Labdanum, Leather, and Vetiver.

Our verdict on Arethusa: Acquired

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a juicy, seaside dream, a unique blend of fruit and marine. Others? A synthetic, screechy mess that doesn't know what it wants to be. Definitely try before you buy, it's divisive, to say the least.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its beastly performance means it can easily overwhelm in the office, making it better suited for more relaxed or outdoor settings. The marine and fruity accords lend themselves well to casual and sport, though the underlying leather and florals elevate it enough for a date.

About

Arethusa bursts forth with a vibrant, watery fruit cocktail- a mix of tart plum, sweet fig, and juicy pomegranate, brightened by grapefruit and orange. Herbal sage and spicy ginger add an aromatic edge before fading into a floral heart of jasmine and rose. The base settles into a truly unique marine landscape, with salty sea water, mineral undertones, and a touch of supple leather and earthy vetiver, creating an aquatic drydown that some adore and others find jarring.
