Draconis

by Paolo Terenzi

Tiziana Terenzi Draconis is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. The fragrance opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Pepper and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Amber, and Frankincense.

Our verdict on Draconis: Acquired

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.

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.
