Overview

Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi is a bold and captivating niche fragrance that combines exotic fruits with floral and woody notes. The fragrance opens with an intense fruity burst, featuring passion fruit, peach, and raspberry, leading to a musky vanilla base. While the perfume showcases a luxurious aura, its powerful top notes are balanced by a smooth, warm dry down, making it not only a head-turner but also a delightful companion for warm-weather days.

When to wear

Daytime Casual

Perfect for a daytime casual outing, such as a brunch with friends or a leisurely walk in the park. Its fruity floral notes shine best under daylight, offering a refreshing aura.

Summer Parties

Ideal for summer parties or outdoor events where its vibrant and fruity nature can play off the warmth of the season, enhancing social gatherings.

Beach Outing

The tropical notes make it a stunning option for a beach outing where the sun amplifies its exotic and lush scent profile.

Date Night

Makes for a lovely choice during an evening date night, offering an inviting, fruity yet sophisticated allure without being overpowering.

Layering Tips

Add Spice: Combine with a spicy fragrance to give Kirke a more complex and deeper profile. Suitable for unisex wear.
Boost Musk: Layer with a dedicated musk scent to enhance its base notes. Suitable for both men and women who prefer a warmer scent.
Freshen Up: Apply alongside a fresh, citrusy fragrance to cut through the sweetness for a crisper profile. Suitable for unisex audiences.

The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

Kirke dries down to a lush base where the intense fruity opening softens into a blend of warm sandalwood and musky vanilla. While the heart note of lily of the valley is not prominent, the dry down is where you truly experience the comforting and seductive warmth of the patchouli enveloping the skin. This stage reveals a smoother, slightly powdery musk that complements the initial fruity burst, making it a pleasant and lingering finish.

Who should wear it?

Kirke by Tiziana Terenzi suits bold individuals who enjoy a vibrant mix of fruits with a touch of floral and musk. Ideal for those who appreciate distinct and lively fragrances for both casual and semi-formal occasions. Its unisex but slightly feminine lean makes it suitable for confident wearers who love to make a statement with their scent choice. It's perfect for warmer spring and summer seasons.

Celebrity Picks

None. You're in an elite class of fragrance lovers—this is a hidden gem you've discovered before it goes mainstream.

Pricing

Kirke is available in two main sizes: 100ml (3.4 oz) priced at $190 (£155) and 50ml (1.7 oz) priced at $125 (£105). The larger size offers better value per milliliter, but the smaller size is perfect for discovering Kirke or travel convenience. These prices reflect the concentration and niche positioning of Tiziana Terenzi fragrances.
