Arethusa by Tiziana Terenzi, composed by Paolo Terenzi in 2014, is a woody floral with spice, fruit and a salty, marine undertow. It is complex and layered, moving from juicy fruit to flowers and finally to a mineral, leathery base.

The opening mixes fig and plum with pink grapefruit, giving a ripe, juicy and slightly bitter start, while ginger adds a lively spice. In the heart, rose and orange blossom form a soft bouquet, with saffron bringing a leathery warmth. The base is unusual: sand and salt create a dry, coastal minerality, while labdanum and leather add a resinous, smoky depth that gives the scent its strength.

Performance is impressive: many wearers call it eternal or long lasting, and the sillage is mostly strong. It is voted for spring and summer and mainly for daytime. Worn by anyone, it suits warm days and special occasions, for someone who enjoys rich, unusual compositions.

Arethusa — unisex fragrance by Tiziana Terenzi (released 2014). Top notes: Fig, Plum, Sage, Ginger, Pink Grapefruit, Orange, Red Sandalwood. Heart notes: Pomegranate, heather, Saffron, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Rose. Base notes: Sea water, Salt, Vetiver, Sand, White Nerium Oleander, Leather, Labdanum, Patchouli, Broom, Liquidambar. — Parfica open fragrance database
