Chi Extrait de Parfum
*Chi Extrait de Parfum* is an opulent gourmand-woody extrait by Tiziana Terenzi, presented within the Italian house's celestial Luna Star collection.
About This Fragrance
Taking its title from one of the prominent stars illuminating the constellation Ursa Major, whence the house's perfume *Ursa* also takes its inspiration, the composition explores a dialogue between sweet confections and woody, earthy depth, juxtaposing roasted coffee and milk caramel with Alba white truffle and oudh.
Scent Profile
The fragrance opens with an arresting chord of dark roasted Guatemalan coffee beans and crunchy Piedmontese almonds, immediately softened by warm milk and sugary Turkish caramel. As the initial sweetness breathes, the heart reveals an earthy counterpoint where Alba white truffle and Cambodian oudh contrast with Haitian vanilla bean. Grounded by Indian patchouli, the core settles into its base. In the drydown, Indian oudh takes prominence alongside the woody herbaceousness of cypriol, wrapped in the nutty richness of Madagascar tonka bean, tender vanilla blossoms, and a final lick of golden caramel.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
Conceived for lovers of complex gourmand perfumes who appreciate bold contrasts between dessert-like warmth and raw earthy woods. Its enveloping weight and resinous undertones make it particularly well matched to crisp autumn evenings, cold winter nights, and formal nocturnal gatherings.
