By the editors · 2 min readTerrae di Siena opens with incense and black pepper leading over a bright grapefruit-bergamot citrus, creating an unusual tension between the smoky-resinous and the fresh from the first breath. The incense is dry and frank rather than sweet.
The heart introduces guaiac wood, Atlas cedar, and iris alongside musk and rose — a woody-floral accord that grounds the fragrance without softening the incense character. Tonka bean, sandalwood, myrrh, and benzoin in the base build a warm, resinous drydown with depth and complexity. This is a well-structured smoky-woody composition with genuine evolution: the citrus top gives way to dry florals, then settles into resinous warmth.
