Tiziana Terenzi Draconis is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. Draconis opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Geranium and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Frankincense. Tiziana Terenzi's Draconis carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon: a brighter, sharper take on a classic vetiver that divides opinion. Some find it a superior alternative to Terre d'Hermes, while others feel it's just 'basic' or too harsh up front. Give it time to settle; the drydown is where the magic (or indeed, the mediocrity) happens.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Draconis opens with an invigorating, almost mineral-like blast of bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, sharp and zesty rather than sweet. This citrus zing is swiftly met by a peppery kick and the green, slightly rosy facets of geranium, adding an aromatic edge. As it dries, a refined, earthy vetiver takes centre stage, intertwining with the deep, grounding richness of patchouli, the smoky, spiritual whisper of frankincense, and a warm amber embrace. It's a journey from vibrant freshness to a smooth, woody depth.
