Tiziana Terenzi Cassiopea
Bright, sparkling, ethereal soft floral
Cassiopea is the brand's memory of family holidays in Frontone, at the foot of Mount Catria: woods, flowers, a castle tower and a huge yellow moon. Passion fruit, lemon and cassis give a bright start, carnation, lily of the valley and tea rose form a soft floral heart, and sandalwood, tonka and musk close it. The brand calls it sparkling and ethereal.

How it unfolds
-
Bright start
Passion fruit and cassis give the opening its tart, juicy sparkle, and lemon sharpens it further. Fern adds a green, cool touch, so the top reads fresh and airy rather than sweet, which fits the brand's own word for it: sparkling.
-
A soft floral heart
Carnation, lily of the valley and tea rose sit together here. Lily of the valley keeps the heart clean and light, tea rose adds a gentle, slightly powdery softness, and carnation gives the bouquet a little more shape. Nothing is heavy, and the floral mood stays gentle.
-
Sandalwood, tonka, musk
The base is quiet. Sandalwood gives a smooth, creamy wood, tonka adds a soft sweetness, and musk smooths everything into a clean, skin-like finish. It is a light-footed ending that matches the starry, night-sky idea behind the name.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Wearing it
Cassiopea is light-footed for an extrait, so it works in daytime as well as at dusk. A few sprays are enough, since the concentration is high even though the mood is airy. Spring and summer weather suit it best, and its clean floral character sits easily in an office or a quiet room.
Who will like it
People who like soft floral perfume and want something bright instead of heavy: lovers of lily of the valley and tea rose, or anyone who finds sweeter, darker perfumes too much. It also suits those who enjoy a fragrance with a gentle story, here dreams and gratitude, as the brand puts it.
Why choose Tiziana Terenzi Cassiopea
The perfume is named after a constellation, and the brand tells it as a memory of the Frontone holidays under a starry sky. Tiziana and Paolo Terenzi frame it as a perfume about dreams and gratitude. A good pick if you like a house that builds each scent around a personal story.

Questions
Frequently asked
Is Cassiopea a heavy perfume?
Not in character. It is an extrait, so it is concentrated, but the notes are bright and floral and the base is soft: sandalwood, tonka and musk. One or two sprays are usually plenty.
How do I apply it?
Spray a few times on clean skin, at the wrists, the neck or the inside of the elbows, and let it dry rather than rubbing it in. The extrait is concentrated, so less goes a long way.
Does it suit as a gift?
Its soft, floral character is easy to like, so it is a reasonable gift for someone who enjoys light, clean fragrances.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
