Tiziana Terenzi Porpora is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Paolo Terenzi. Porpora opens with Rose, Cinnamon, Clove, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Poppy, Patchouli, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Chestnut, Musk, Amber, and Benzoin. Tiziana Terenzi's Porpora carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A divisive yet undeniably potent rose-incense powerhouse, Porpora is an 'of-its-kind' statement. Some say it's an improved version of a well-known classic, others a 'loud and obnoxious' imitation. Either way, expect to be noticed.

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage mean Porpora is too potent for most office environments. However, its bold and sensual rose-incense profile makes it perfect for date nights and formal events, particularly in cooler weather. It's a statement scent, not for casual wear.

About

Porpora opens with a burst of jammy rose and sweet raspberry, quickly underscored by the warming spice of clove and cinnamon. As it settles, a smoky incense takes centre stage, intertwining with an earthy patchouli. The dry-down reveals a rich, balsamic amber, softened by musk and a hint of nutty chestnut, creating a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers for ages.
