Tiziana Terenzi Orionis is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. Orionis opens with Saffron and Incense, settles into a heart of Amber, Patchouli, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Tolu Balsam. Tiziana Terenzi's Orionis carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart. Orionis is a beastly amber, animalic and intense, that polarises opinion. Some find it a masterpiece of opulent depth, others a challenging, even 'skanky', experience. Definitely not a blind buy.

About

Orionis opens with a dense, bitter hit of saffron and incense, setting a seriously resinous tone. This quickly gives way to a monumental amber heart, bolstered by patchouli and an unapologetically animalic ambergris. As it dries, balsamic notes of Tolu balsam and benzoin emerge, softened by a hint of vanilla and musk, which aims to temper some of Orionis's initial raw power. It's a rich, warm, and profoundly oriental scent that commands attention.
