Tiziana Terenzi Lunanera is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Paolo Terenzi. Lunanera opens with Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Lemon, Iris, Tonka Bean, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Heliotrope, Vanilla, and Myrrh. Tiziana Terenzi's Lunanera carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper beast, a Floriental chypre that divides opinion. Some find it a mesmerising masterpiece, others a rather one-dimensional, powdery baby wipes scent. Either way, it'll get you noticed, for better or worse.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Lunanera's 'beast mode' performance and strong sillage make it unsuitable for most office environments, where it could easily overpower. Its sophisticated, warm, and somewhat sensual profile, however, makes it an excellent choice for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for casual wear unless applied very sparingly.

About

Lunanera kicks off with a brief, sweet flirtation of fig and lemon, before diving headfirst into a rich, heady floral heart of rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and iris. As it settles, a formidable base emerges, dominated by a mossy, powdery oakmoss and myrrh, softened by creamy vanilla and tonka. It’s dense, complex, and boasts serious projection.
