Lyncis

Lyncis, composed by Paolo Terenzi for Tiziana Terenzi in 2019, is an iris-centred floral with a woody, mossy base. Everyone who describes it calls it floral, most also find it woody, and a minority mention citrus, green, musky and amber touches.

Mandarin orange, bergamot and pink pepper give the opening a bright, juicy and rosy sparkle. The heart is built around iris in several forms, including white iris and iris flower, giving a cool, powdery, slightly earthy and cosmetic softness, joined by jasmine's sunny radiance, rose's velvety petals and orange blossom's honeyed sweetness. The base is grounded and classic, with oakmoss giving an earthy, damp greenness, patchouli, cedar, sandalwood and vetiver a layered woodiness, and tonka bean, amber and musk a soft, warm finish.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who love iris and want it presented in a rich, structured setting. The profile works for spring and autumn, the office, evenings and elegant occasions. Those who enjoy powdery iris florals with a chypre-like mossy base should find it refined.
