Tiziana Terenzi Kuma is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Paolo Terenzi. Kuma opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Blackcurrant, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Magnolia, Lily of the Valley, Cinnamon, and Fig Leaf, and dries down to a base of Oak, Vanilla Blossom, Musk, and Amber. Tiziana Terenzi's Kuma carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and bold, Kuma is a fruit bomb that some adore as a refined gourmand, while others find it too familiar or headache-inducing. It's a powerhouse, so go easy on the trigger.

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.

Kuma's long-lasting performance and strong sillage make it unsuitable for an office setting, but perfect for dates where you want to make an impression. While it could work casually, some find its intensity better suited for special occasions, leaning into a more formal or evening vibe.

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.

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

Kuma bursts open with a juicy explosion of passionfruit and blackcurrant, brightened by zesty lemon and bergamot. As it settles, a floral heart emerges with creamy magnolia and delicate lily of the valley, laced with a hint of warm cinnamon and green fig leaf. The dry down mellows into a plush, sweet base of vanilla blossom and rich amber, grounded by earthy oak and smooth sandalwood, leaving a lingering, woody-musky warmth.
