Tiziana Terenzi Cabiria is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Paolo Terenzi. Cabiria opens with Grass, Melon, Apple, and Pear, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Heliotrope, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Birch, and Vanilla. Tiziana Terenzi's Cabiria carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This extrait is a beast, plain and simple. Expect unapologetic presence and a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it sillage that'll announce you before you even enter the room. If 'subtle' isn't in your vocabulary, this could be your next signature. Just don't over-spray, for everyone's sake.

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.

Given its 'beast mode' performance and powerful sillage, Cabiria is too overwhelming for an office environment. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious projection can make a statement, though its strong fruity opening keeps it from being exclusively formal.

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

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Cabiria opens with a surprisingly fresh burst of juicy green apple, mint, and ripe melon, soon joined by a subtle leafy redcurrant touch. This energetic start quickly gives way to a sophisticated heart of powdery heliotrope and classic rose, lifted by a touch of jasmine and the salty nuance of ambergris. The dry-down settles into a robust woody base of birch and cedar, sweetened by vanilla and grounded by a clean, lingering musk, giving it immense depth and staying power.
