CHIMAERA is a complex and “frightfully beautiful” masterpiece from the exclusive ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION by TIZIANA TERENZI, inspired by a sailing voyage along the rugged Lycian coast of Turkey. Named after the mythical fire-breathing creature and the “forever burning” mountain of the same name, this fragrance captures the tension between the pristine blue Mediterranean and the eternal flames emerging from the earth. It is a “liquid emotion” that reflects the wild, lush nature of Cape Gelidonya—a place where history and legend are one. The voyage begins with a “striking and unpredictable” prelude: a vibrant and luminous blend of White Leather, Tolu Balm, and Saffron is masterfully infused with Black Pepper and a unique Soil Tincture. This opening provides an immediate sensation of the “red earth” and sun-dried herbs found along the rocky Turkish shores.

As the fragrance matures on the skin, it reveals a heart of exceptional “aromatic magic” and sweetness. A sophisticated bouquet of Iris, Peony, and Black Magnolia merges deliciously with the golden warmth of Honey and the smoke of Incense. Created by the visionary Paolo Terenzi, CHIMAERA evolves with a “predatory yet enveloping” finesse, where spicy Red Pepper and Sage add a daring, vertical energy to the floral core. The passage finally settles into a profoundly opulent and long-lasting foundation. A “nuclear” blend of Agarwood (Oud), Tobacco, and Leather is ennobled by the intense, gourmand sweetness of Melted Caramel and Benzoin. Consequently, the wearer radiates an aura of “impeccable class” and a mysterious, “beast-like” magnetism that reflects the complexity of the mythical Chimaera itself.
