XIX March
XIX March is an Extrait de Parfum from Tiziana Terenzi, presented in the Italian house's Classic Collection.
About This Fragrance
The creation draws inspiration from *La Focarina di San Giuseppe*, an ancestral Italian bonfire ritual held on the night of 18 March, on the verge of the spring equinox. On this night, villagers gather to burn dry winter twigs, cleansing the past to welcome the renewal of spring. The scent captures this ceremonial warmth, contrasting crisp herbs with dry woods and aromatic spices to evoke both memory and regeneration.
Scent Profile
The fragrance opens with an invigorating burst of sweet orange, crushed green leaves, mint, and nettle. This sharp green accord transitions smoothly into a textured aromatic heart, where soft lavender and jasmine intersect with the warmth of cinnamon and clove buds. As the composition settles, it reveals a dry foundation dominated by cedarwood, sandalwood, and earthy vetiver. Accentuated by herbal rosemary, culinary nutmeg, and a clean veil of musk, the drydown retains an airy yet grounding presence.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
With its crisp herbal top notes and balancing woody-spicy core, *XIX March* is versatile enough for daywear, crisp morning outings, and early spring days when fresh greens and grounding woods feel most natural.
