Porpora

*Porpora* is an Extrait de Parfum from Tiziana Terenzi's Luna collection, constructed around an opulent, spicy crimson rose.

About This Fragrance

The composition draws creative inspiration from the luminous appearance of a rare red supermoon and memories of distilling rose petals over chestnut-fired copper stills. Situated within the brand's celestial-themed Luna series, it showcases traditional resinous accords alongside a signature family blend of amber and musk preserved over several decades.

Scent Profile

The opening pairs concentrated rose absolute with tart wild forest raspberries, quickly intensified by the dry warmth of ground cinnamon and pungent cloves. As the fragrance transitions into its heart, velvety Bulgarian rose and poppy petals meet the earthy bite of dark patchouli and plumes of incense. The base establishes a sturdy drydown built on chestnut wood and rich balsams, where warm benzoin and myrrh resin interlock with smooth amber and an anchoring bed of musk.

Who It's For & When to Wear It

This scent appeals to wearers seeking an intense floral bouquet framed by smoke and resin rather than fresh greenery. Its substantial warmth settles naturally into autumn and winter evening wear, offering a dramatic ambiance for formal settings and cool night air.
