Siene

## Siene by Tiziana Terenzi I’ve thought quite a bit about how to describe this one. Among the obvious comparisons — like Ombre Leather or Tuscan Leather (though I don’t remember the latter vividly enough anymore) — I find Siene to be the most balanced, the most “tamed,” so to speak. There’s nothing aggressive or hostile in its composition. This is a greener, softer interpretation of leather — subtle, composed, well-mannered, yet coherent. It carries a certain calm elegance. I do get a distant olfactory connection to Italian Leather by Memo. Not a direct similarity, and definitely not interchangeable — but there’s a shared DNA somewhere far down the family line. They feel related, without actually smelling alike. This is fine leather. Quiet, Polished, Controlled. It gives off a clean, precise elegance rather than dominance. Performance, however, is not outstanding. It might just be my skin, but longevity isn’t fantastic. With the right layering, though, it can reach satisfying results. I personally combine it with Yuqawam by Rasasi, and that noticeably boosts its potency. The sillage isn’t massive, but in the first tens of minutes it does make its presence known so reapplication helps. If performance were stronger, this would easily be a 9/10 for me. Given the current projection and longevity, it sits at a solid 8/10. In conclusion: a good fragrance, but not a safe blind buy. This is green leather — clean, composed, almost innocent in its expression. If I had to associate it with a place, I’d say a "Natura" store somewhere in South-Western Europe or a treehouse interior lined with soft suede. It’s worth trying, and for me it will likely remain my signature leather scent.

Just received today, and it is an immediate love! I will say this is certainly similar to Tuscan Leather or Ombre Leather sort of, but this way less scratchy/abrasive to me.. There is something very sweet in the mid and dry down that is delicious smelling, which must be the honey but doesn't smell distinctly like honey, more like fruity. Unique enough to set itself apart from the other leathers I mentioned. I would buy this again over either TF. Very much recommended, especially for the price on ebay currently, I paid right at $100 from a trusted seller.

bought a fb based on notes. after wearing a few times, i bought 2 more fb. so i love it. reason for love for me: new leather, a bit of evergreen resin, with incense without church vibe. enough sweetness (new leather) but not too much. seems to fit my mood most of the time. serious without pretension. not super elegant, more honest work type. a carpenter, an aura of fresh wood, who is very "clean" with a hint of high end soap/shower gel. fingernails tightly manicured. t-shirt just off a sunny clothes line. freshly shaved, skin silky tan.a hint of sex.

#915 in my "Tour de Fragrance" My two favorite Tiziana Tirenzi scents are Laudano Nero and this. You put a lot spice, incense and iris in a fragrance I am most likely in for a bottle. This one has nearly all my favorite notes. Leans masculine, but pretty much every young woman I know can and would rock this. Dumont has a $35 scent called "Nitro White" that is very close to this if money's tight. This has solid longevity and projection that do not disappoint. Car pool, elevator and small office safe. Versatile enough for formal and date wear.

The first time I smelled this I was totally unimpressed. After trying it few times later I grew to love it more than Ombre Leather. Its a well rounded better projecting version of that fragrance. This house knows how to take an original formula and make it better in every aspect. Smells better, cheaper price in discounters, more projection, better longevity. I have already bought multiple leather fragrances for this winter. I am certainly putting it in my plan for the coming winter.
