A bright, sparkling soft floral under a yellow moon
Cassiopea is told by Tiziana Terenzi as a memory of family holidays in the village of Frontone, at the foot of Mount Catria: woods, flowers, a castle tower and a huge yellow moon over a starry sky. The brand calls it a bright, sparkling, ethereal extrait. Airy extraits are hard to judge from a description, so a 10 ml decant is the practical way to meet it.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Passion fruit, lemon, cassis and fern open the scent. Passion fruit is tropical and slightly tart, lemon adds a clear lift, cassis a dark-green juiciness, and fern a cool, leafy freshness. It is a sparkling start, in keeping with the brand's word for it.
In the heart, carnation brings a faint peppery spice, lily of the valley a clean, green sweetness, and tea rose a soft, slightly powdery petal note. They keep the scent in the soft floral family and carry the village-gardens feeling the story points to.
Sandalwood, fava tonka and musk make the base. Sandalwood is smooth and creamy, tonka adds a gentle almond-like sweetness, and musk keeps the finish clean and close. The base is soft, which is why the whole stays airy even in an extrait.
Testing it
Wear it on a light spring or summer day and also at dusk, since the brand's story sits under a night sky. A few sprays are enough, because the concentration is high even though the mood is airy. Give the floral heart time, then judge the soft base.
People who like clean, bright florals with fruit at the front and a soft, musky finish, and who enjoy a perfume built on a personal story. It is listed as unisex. If you prefer rich, dark or heavily sweet scents, expect something lighter.
The house tells it as a perfume about dreams and gratitude, which is a big claim for a soft floral, and passion fruit, carnation and tea rose can read quite differently from skin to skin. A 10 ml decant is a fair, low-risk way to find out before buying 100 ml.

A 10 ml decant of Cassiopea, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Tiziana Terenzi is not involved.
Not in character. It is an extrait, so it is concentrated, but the notes are bright and floral and the base is soft. One or two sprays are a good start.
From the constellation. The brand tells the perfume as a memory of family holidays in Frontone under a starry sky, and frames it as a perfume about dreams and gratitude.
Spray a few times on clean skin, at the wrists, neck or inner elbows, and let it dry instead of rubbing it in.
The brand
Tiziana Terenzi grew out of a family candle workshop, Cereria Terenzi in Cattolica, whose packaging prints 'Since 1968'. The perfumes are extraits de parfum, and each is told as a memory of the siblings Tiziana and Paolo Terenzi: a night under the stars, a sailing trip, a bonfire. The pyramids are long and the stories personal, so it is hard to guess from a description which one will suit you. Wearing a 10 ml decant for a few days is the simpler way.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
