Spirito Fiorentino

Spirito Fiorentino, from the Italian house Tiziana Terenzi and composed by Paolo Terenzi in 2019, is worn by anyone. Wearers describe it first as floral, most also find it woody, a good share note leather, and green, musky and amber facets are picked out by a few. It is a white floral with an unexpectedly dark, smoky undercarriage.

The notes are listed without a pyramid, but two layers stand out. On top, a bouquet of white flowers: magnolia, lily of the valley, lily, jasmine and ylang-ylang, bright and creamy, with orange adding a touch of juice and saffron a warm, slightly leathery spice. Underneath, the mood changes: leather and birch bring a tarry, smoky depth, oakmoss a damp forest-floor greenness, and sandalwood, precious woods and ambergris a warm, salty, woody finish softened by musk.

Judged by its notes, it is a scent of contrasts, suited to cooler weather and evenings, and to wearers who like fresh flowers set against leather and smoke rather than a simple, pretty floral.
