About This Perfume
Tiziana Terenzi Chimaera comes across as smoky honeyed leather over caramel resins. It opens with lemon, saffron and Tolu balm, moves into frankincense, honey and camellia and settles on caramel, cashmere wood and copaiba balsam. It reads unisex.
This fragrance is best in fall and winter and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 2014.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something amber forward and cozy for date nights.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike resinous fragrances.
Around $203.
