Description
The house of Tiziana Terenzi, known for its scented candles, presents its first Extrait de Parfum line in 2012. The line is inspired by fire with four different experiences of journey. “The hypnotic power and beauty of fire are always present in our lives, connecting us with great symbolic power to our emotions and to all of creation. The four new perfumes embody the four stages of a journey consumed by fire. In fire, every emotion, every image, every fragrance comes to life and exists almost independently from our thoughts. Our perfumes capture the indomitable spirit of our emotions. The creation of these perfume essences comes from the never-ending quest to depict and capture emotions. These perfumes embody the powerful Faustian desire to try to hold on to a beautiful moment, and the constant exploration of the “self and the non-self”. The fragrances are named XIX March, Ecstasy, Gold Rose Oudh and White Fire. The ones that have “black soul” are Gold Rose Oudh and White Fire and are labeled with leather label, while the ones with “white soul”, labeled with wood, are XIX March and Ecstasy.
Ecstasy is a mystical fragrance of “the most intense journey into the “sacred fire” of the soul, in search of total authentic in the suspended gravity of absolute beauty.”
Top notes: pine, spruce, stone powder. Heart: incense, patchouli, rose, violet. Base: sandalwood, amber, cistrose, tonka, forest land, ancient wood.
It is available as 100 ml Extrait de Parfum. The nose behind this fragrance is Paolo Terenzi.

This is a very pleasant scent for year round use imo. Today it’s a hot summer day with 33°C and I can easily wear it. Ecstasy feels unisex but it leans to masculine scents. It’s a safe and easy to wear fragrance.
All I get is a dominant combo of strong pine tree, strong spruse, strong but smooth smoky incense and mild rose. The woody notes combined with the patchouli give an illussion of a westernized woody oud slightly bitter/camphoric/medicinal. After 2 hours all I get is pine and this “oud” accord. Beautiful, linear and manly scent.
I’m still evalluating the longevity. I’ll update with info the next days. The projection could be better though, Ecstasy stays close to the skin. The sillage is moderate.

This goes on as a dry incense inflected with nice pine and spruce facets but within an hour it is transitioning via some rose dominant (yet still quite abstract and toned down) florals towards a slightly sweetened amber experience very different from the ‘iconic incenses’ (Avignion, Casbah, full incense) some reviewers below have mentioned. Noses hunting for profiles close to the incense powerhouses will almost certainly be disappointed by the absence of ‘liturgical fumes’ found in this one. On my skin, for the longest part this is an amber perfume, giving a completely different character to incense. Surprises me greatly how some regard this as a rose-oud.

Hi, could someone please compare it with Comme des garcons Avignon or Montale Full Incense or Robert Piguet Casbah / Oud? Those are know as churchy smells and I would liek to know if TT Ecstasy is similar to any of above mentioned. Thank you!!
kissme – :
I wore Tiziana Terenzi’s “Ecstasy” today! So far, I got this rose-y, incense-y and woodsy vibes. This is another topnotch oriental woody frag with notes of pine, Bulgarian Rose Absolute, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Amber & Woods as main players. Its floral-incense heart and woodsy smoky base/drydown is a phase every cologne connoisseur should experience! A unisex perfume (with a masculine twist)

Avignon Lite + Spruce + Pine = Ecstasy
vladimirgitnik – :
if i say summarize,it’s the best and manly rose/oud scent that i’ve ever smelled.opens with obvious rose and oud scent and continues with some greeny and tonka bean scent.after 1 hour really good but i don’t like the first 1 hour. huge lasting power with decent sillage. best choice for office.not special but good.7/10
اگه بخوام خلاصه بگم یه عطر رز عودی دیگه البته از نوعه بهترینش و مردونه ترینش. یکساعت اوله بوشو دوست ندارم چون یه جورایی بوی عربی داره ولی بعد از اون فوقالعاده خوش بو میشه. ماندگاریش عالیه و پخش بوشم خوبه . به نظرم گزینه ی بسیار مناسبی برای اداره است.به من این عطر کادو داده شد ولی اگه می خواستم خودم بخرم راستش قطعا نمی خریدم.

This might be strange, so stay with me here, but I think those in search of a sharp, medicinal rose/oud, or any lover of the highly medicinal variety of “oud” accord, should put Ecstasy at the top of their list of fragrance to try. The scent profile of genuine conifer may scratch that itch better than the fake oud in most perfumes.
For those of you who did not smell any pine in Norne, you may find what you are looking for here — that smell of the sap. The rose illuminates this brightly, like a lamp behind stained glass.

My Father took one smell and said, “Smells like a priest has been swinging his smoke thing around in here”.
that be incense dad.
I love it, I swing between this and Landonero being my favs.
bolat56 – :
The people who are amazed by this scent probably never go to the rest room except at home because the dominant spruce note you can’t ignore during the drydown makes it smell like a cheap clip-on toilet refreshener. Too bad… 🙁
Supraseromseofd – :
A mysterious and mystical composition that evokes the images of haunted castles and witches, this is a smoky sweet incense-based offering from the Italian house of Terenzi. It is a scent that grows on you and delivers in spades.

For now I can’t decide if I like this or Laudano Nero better. I’m leaning towards Laudano but both have become two of my favorites and I wear them often.
What’s not to love about warm, smoky incense, spiciness and patchoulli? All the notes play so beautifully together and when I wear this it’s like I’m wrapped in a warm spice cocoon.
I’m keeping my eye on Paulo Terenzi! So far this makes the third perfume of his I’ve bought.
semen1978 – :
For me there’s no ecstasy about it. It bugged my senses; too pungent in a bad way, like a bad hair spray smell. I can see myself accepting it on someone else, if they are just passing by and only sprayed 2-3 times. More than that that is choking. But they have to keep moving because the sillage is kinda big and annoying. Try a sample first like I did.
Tirranius2000 – :
This is my kinda scent. Smoky woody earthy real balsamic. Love it! Lots of pine woods. Great.
The only reason I don’t think its full bottle worthy is because it does give me a little feeling of wunderbaum air freshener. Many pines do unfortunately :/ Maybe it’s just power of association.

I promise to do a full review, but at this moment–these first initial hours of Ecstacy radiation–Oh Heavens! they are just that. Tiziana named this fragrance perfectly, because I want to curl into my own body and inhale myself in a constant state of ecstasy. Acceptable social norms are the only things barring me from doing just that; and I am just holding on to my “acceptability” because I have always been more of a wild one, tbut Tiziana’s Ecstacy is that girl in a small town who is Quite the Individual. Whispered about as she sways down the street, hips curving at each step in glorious rhythm: the single men can’t figure out why she keeps turning them down for dates, the women are envious because those guys keep asking her and she has the nerve to rub it in their faces as she says no….but those gals all secretly want to be her with her red lipstick and curls and all that damn sensuality…and she smells like earth and humanity and sex and yet…she’ll keep that blouse unbuttoned Seth at low even when she walks into her Catholic Church! and she smells like earth and humanity and sex and sanctity…because you can lust after her all you want, and Lord knows you will, but she’s on her Holier-Than-Thou pedestal with curls of blessed incense curling into the air above her red hair and all that Raw & Wanting has been Sanctified, made Holy, and is Untouchable for the masses.
Now this is a perfume whose identity I want to try on like a Mardi Gras masque and wear to every Naturalist party I can sneak into (or key party–but I’m not driving–I’d walk there of my own accord so I can leave wheneverI want and leave all those poor aging, lusting folks with their tongues hanging out, unsatisfied. Just like Ecstasy would want me too: you should get them panting & filled with desire &, well, Ecstacy, but always leave them wanting more. To remember you by. It’s your signature trail.
каварная тигрица – :
In the spirit of the holidays, as they are approaching, I am unearthing all my lovely forest nympths from the depths of my closet (where I store all my fumes oddly enough). There are A LOT of fir balsam type scents out there but they’re either too sweet or too dark, rarely any have that perfect balance that I seek. Enter Ecstasy….
So, my holy grail dark forest goes to Norne (slumberhouse) and unfortunately I couldn’t get into the powerhouse from SL, so I gave ecstasy a shot knowing this house and how their fumes are of utmost quality and performance (lillipur and laudano nero being two of my faves). I was NOT disappointed.
In comparison, Norne is a fume I seek when I want dark, damp, ice cold woods. Ecstasy is that perfect balance with warm wood but still maintaining an enigmatic, magical, slightly chilly vibe… just in a different location. Where Norne is Siberia, Finland, Norway, Ecstasy is Germany, Poland, Czech Republic. The beautiful spruce forests of Czech Republic come to mind when smelling this concoction.
Ecstasy is ambery…rose like warm woods, but very dry, no moisture to give this fume a voluptuous feel. Very masterfully blended and deliciously RICH. Lots and lots of fir, resin and a delicate incense rising amongst it all, thick clouds of Christmas smoke. Very green. Very nostalgic and realistic, absolutely beautiful. Wearable? For some. For others, a sensory experience…
toxic – :
Insense and evergreens , dry, woody, and then smoky. This is my second Tiziana bottle. First I bought Laudano Nero. It was so thick , suffocatingly rich, and I couldn’t wear it once.
This is much more airy and I like it much more. It is still not exactly wearable. It is too much of a non perfume…. not pretty, not sexy, not sweet, not attractive. It is the scent of a coniferous forest… it’s cold and the mountain air seems to preserve the sap and evergreen scent. A dry insense is everywhere, so dry you can almost feel it in your throat . Then the scent turns smoky, very smoky, as in burnt wood smoky, still with hints of evergreens.
I would have liked some sweetness but it isn’t anywhere . I positively don’t smell any Amber, tonka or Labdanum.
I don’t love it and probably I will not wear it, as it isn’t feminine at all . But I admire its artistry . The presentation is also fabulous, just like Laudano Nero.
I am giving up on this house. So far everything seems strong, very good quality, exceptionally blended and very unique, but unwearable due to the olfactive combinations .
A masterpiece as an experimental and quite unique scent but I cannot imagine any human wanting to smell like fire and insense and ashes and fir and Evergreen trees. Or, to put it short, it smells like a burning Christmas tree. Wow. Expensive and worth the money for its novelty , quality and presentation , but sadly unwearable for me . I might swap it, not sure yet…
Plerieglone – :
I received a sample of this from luckyscent and I have to say, the notes do not reflect the actual smell, at least to me. This is actually a very subtle and clean scent and even slightly powdery.
shekly – :
Imagine you are in a medieval balsam fir forest. Silent monks pass by, each carrying a thurible. Smoke from sweet incense roiling out of its’ silver chambers. A clean cool breeze stirs the air, bringing a hint of rose with patchouli. Probably from their dark ceremonial cloaks adorned with garlands. Crushed fir needles underfoot intensify the scent. Ecstasy is your vision of an ancient wood rite conducted by clerics. Mage mixed and enhanced by inspired proportions!
Moncler Outlet – :
Rich, dark concoction, reminding of dark forest with magnificent old pine trees and wet soil, incense and dark roses. Wonderful, smooth and long lasting.
Lerik – :
If you are the type of guy that prefers to smell good…and I mean good…if you are that person that prefers Hermes eau tres fraiche, guerlain homme, mugler cologne, he wood, DHS, versace pour homme and some other generally good smelling colognes… (this is my case)…then please…NEVER blind buy this…it is a bit too challenging to the nose…specially if you fit that type of person mentioned above…I tried this after my dinner and I have felt nauseated ever since…it is different…yes it is…but also too potent and pungent to my taste…for me a clear PASS…
Edit…projection and longevity are really good..I can still feel it this morning after more than 12 hours…the drydown is a bit more generic…somehow in the same invictus territory…

Eğer oriental (arap) bir parfüm istiyorsanız ve bunun biraz batılı tarzda olmasını istiyorsanız, aradığınız parfüm budur. Kokladiginizda anlayacaksınız, Arap ve Avrupa tarzı arasında gidip gelen bir koku bu. Ben halen her kokladigimda beğeniyorum ve aklima “acaba fazla mi sert, fazla mi oriental ” sorunlari geliyor. Ancak konusu o kadar guzel ki bu sorulari unutuyorum. Yukardaki yorumlarda da goreceginiz gibi ilk basta oud var saniyorsunuz ama firma olmadigini soyluyor. Varsa bile çok az olmali ki parfum olgunlasirken oud un o bize biraz aci ‘ve eksi gelen kokusunu duymuyoruz. Her kisi farkli kokulara duyarli ‘ve ben tonka kokusunu baskin olarak aliyorum. Gül ‘ve tutsu var, patchouli ise sanirim hepsine karismis.
Paketi ‘ve sisesi nedeniyle biraz tereddut etmistim alirken ama kullanirken keyif aldigimi soylemeliyim. Zaten sisesi konusunda parfümü tasarlayan ‘ve markanin sahibi , son derece kibar bir beyfendi olan Paolo Terenzi Ile gorusumu paylastim. Kendisi benim goremedigim ayrintilari aktardi. Hak verdim, bu bir tarz ‘ve yerel ogelere yer vermis. Bu markanin tüm parfumleri dikkati hak ediyor. Bence tamami basarili.
Kalicilik ‘ve koku dagilimi son derece basarili. Insani bunaltmiyor. Asiri sicak yaz aylari disinda her zaman kullanilabilir. 25 yas ‘ve uzeri için uygun. Ben bu parfümü daha cok erkekler için uygun gordum ama tabiki kadinlarda kullanabilir. Ozellikle ilk yarim saat boyunca feminen bir usluba yaklasiyor. En basta da soyledigim gibi, parfum meraklilarinin mutlaka kolleksiyonlarinda olmasi gereken bir parfum.

This perfume is enchanting like a dark forest in which you would find a house made of candy. Not that it smells like candy, I don’t mean it so literally, but it’s a deep forest that is not menacing.
The perfume is very unisex, opening with shady evergreens and velvety woods, and moist earth enriched by partially decayed leaves and moss. The perfume was a bit oily on my skin, so I assume it contains some good quality natural ingredients. Like many perfume oils, the scent is strong, but it does not radiate much. Nobody at work could smell it on me, yet I smelled it very easily on myself.
I also detect plenty of balmy, slightly sweet resins. It was almost delicious in a way, yet nobody would want to eat something that smells like a forest (…right?).
I like the fact that this does not contain spice. There is no spice on my skin, just nature.
At first I thought I had smelled enough perfumes like this–Fille en Aiguilles, Forest Walk by Sonoma Scent, but as the day wore on, I fell more and more under the spell of this perfume. Its complexity is very alluring. It is beautifully balanced. The resins do not smell like Iso-E-Super (thank heavens!).
I want a full bottle!
sava-igor – :
Even tough it’s marketed as unisex I think this is leaning more towards the feminine gender. Unless you’re not wearing a suit and tie this might be hard to pull off for a man.
There’s something in the base that reminds me of Black Afgano. Something nutty, maybe the amber or oud.
In conclusion I’d recommend it only for women.
amnezilla – :
Full, opulent rose with incense and pine. The opening startled me, it was very unique and very interesting. Completely unisex and very pretty, though a bit scary.
As it develops it gets dryer and more spicy, incense becomes more dominant and rose feels very dry. I get soil, it’s not earthy, but it’s very dry, smells everlasting like the Earth itself.
A very interesting perfume, def. worth a try.
mar-kus – :
Not quite sure if I would consider this to be a big deal but this deserves more attention. The opening smells like a rosey version of Comme des garcons luxe series: champaca. As expected the piney notes keeps this balanced for a unisex vibe. Pebbles as a note? You got me on that one. Didn’t know it had an aroma. On my skin, rose dominates more than anything else. Labdanum and co. is a nice complement that softens the composition. The woody base in which the rose sits on is dry(not as warm as the amber may suggest). Longevity is moderately good clocking in at about 8 “good” hours. For the price and size, you really can’t beat this value.
cpl740InsuffBooni – :
Smokey incense just like the notes imply. This is not my type of scent but it’s worth investigating if you like this sort of thing, as the price is pretty good for a niche house.
marisha25 – :
now, without knowing the notes I could have sworn there is aoud, musk and some fruity notes. Alas, now looking at the pyramid, I have to see there isn’t any of those.
This one smells like a toned down Montale to me, to be honest. My first idea was a similarity with Montale Dark Purple.
Nice and price is in the lower range taking into consideration this is a perfume extrait and also being niche.
However, I found no novelty in this one yet I must admit it is well composed and well blended.
