Arrakis, a binary star system in the Draco constellation, was the inspiration for this exploration into the varied spectrum of an olfactory pyramid conceived to create new light and unpredictable emotive sensations. Just as the Arrakis system is made of two counterpoised, equal stars, this fragrance has two distinct characters of contrasting intensity that reveal themselves to only the most expert connoisseur.
The creation opens with an explosion of precious, elegant citrus notes predominated by the potent fragrance of grapefruit from Sicily’s Conca d’Oro. This highly prized fruit is picked from a tree known as the 'tree of paradise' due to its rare and exclusive properties. Echoing the grapefruit are other citrus notes such as Calabrian bergamot and Sorrento lemon — two precious essences from the exclusive Terenzi library. This citrus-driven characteristic embraces an ensemble of grassy herb notes, with the untamed spirit of thyme and rosemary attenuated by notes of Japanese osmanthus and Sicilian yellow saffron. The top begins with a warm, exotic embrace with precious Tahitian vetiver accentuating notes of Virginia tobacco trailing off into wood notes of Indian red patchouli and guaiac from the Antilles.
This creation is founded on a heady blend of woods and oriental notes lending an incredible persistence to the citrus top notes. The base reveals Brazilian Mato Grosso tonka bean, ambergris and musk, complemented by the intense, imposing force of Cambodian oud. Arrakis is a fragrance of unexpected contrast between light and dark, with a seductive strength creating an intense comet tail of scent that will never go unnoticed.
Tiziana Terenzi's Luna Gold Collection
The Luna Gold Collection is an artistic continuation of the Luna Collection, which is dedicated to the ‘future of memories’. The loving and thoughtful design of the bottles and the elaborate packaging with its fine details are based on the extensive knowledge and expertise of trained jewellery designer Tiziana Terenzi.
According to legend, matters of the heart – everything incomplete and lonely – end up on the moon. Here, thoughts, feelings, dreams and tears, missed opportunities and unfinished deeds are stored in precious glass ampoules. Tiziana Terenzi drew inspiration from these images for her Luna collection. By perceiving them through our sense of smell, we regain possession of what we thought was lost. By wearing them on our skin, we experience a renewed sense of happiness and wonder. This collection is dedicated to rediscovery, to those things we seem to have forgotten or could not forget. For the Luna collection, Tiziana Terenzi returns to the places and balmy summer nights of her childhood that she and Paolo fondly remember. Tiziana and Paolo have extracted these particularly personal moments in the form of rare and precious essences. The compositions invite you to experience them again and again and are stored in exquisite gold, deep black or bright red bottles. The heavy gold-plated lid of each fragrance shows the phases of the moon based on a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, emphasising the preciousness of every creation in this collection.
