Kirke Extrait de Parfum

Housed in Tiziana Terenzi’s signature gold-toned cylindrical bottle with a heavy cap, Kirke is a masterpiece of Italian niche perfumery. It is designed to evoke the feeling of walking along a sun-drenched Mediterranean beach.

The fragrance opens with a massive, “juicy” cocktail of Passion Fruit, Peach, Raspberry, and Pear. This isn’t just a light fruit scent; it is dense and syrupy. A unique Sand note gives it a warm, mineral quality that mimics the heat of the sun on the shore. The heart is a delicate Lily-of-the-Valley, but it quickly gives way to a powerful base of Musk, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Heliotrope. The musk in Kirke is particularly famous—it is clean, sharp, and provides the “beast mode” backbone the scent is known for.
