An incredibly dense and multilayered Oriental inspired by the perfumers travels to regions in Turkey said to be the lair of this mythical beast, this ‘beast mode’ fragrance is a spicy gourmand that evokes elements of earth, fire, seas, air and mountains. The perfume opens in a smoky cloud of black pepper, lemon, saffron, leather, tolu balsam, thyme, bay leaf and soil tincture. There is a dense floral gourmand middle consisting of iris, red pepper, carnation, peony, honey, magnolia and sage. Finally it settles into a masculine powdery smoky base of patchouli, cashmere, labdanum, benzoin, caramel, oud, tobacco (dominant), leather and pine. An incredible shape shifter on my skin evolving in one dense layer after another, skillfully blended, masculine leaning, with tremendous sillage and projection. This one is high quality luxury perfumery. Shares many resemblances to the newer HDP offering Outrecuidant. Warm, growling and enveloping. Enjoy!

Chimaera 2017 is a powerhouse of projection and longevity. It’s overall impression is a sweet musky lipstick rose-iris scent with cool tones of saffron, cocoa and tobacco adding mystery. Very nice rose and cocoa contrast, actually. A small spray on the back of my hand lasted over twelve hours with massive projection. It’s a very complex scent with a gourmand sensibility and remarkably distinct notes. Really well blended and creative.

I wanted to fall in love with this, truly. Sometimes I feel the romance between us but it leaves me feeling like we are going through the motions. Chimaera is a meloncholy scent that instantly makes me a little sad, like two people who love each other but in very different ways and cannot be together.
Mr Terenzi has created a masterpiece in that it evokes potent emotions and conjures memories of things both real and imagined.
I can smell the iris in this very potently. I hate iris. I can’t smell tobacco at all. I love tobacco. I have no good reason to be so masochistically attracted to Chimaera and yet, I am. Something about this scent reminds me in a postive way of a mans chest and a woman’s hair.
Well done.
Scent: 7/10 it is memorable to me but not something that I can easily tie to a true memory, but a hazy feeling.
Projection: 4/10 sadly for me this is very weak on my skin and lays pretty limp.
Sillage: 2/10 nearly invisible.
Longevity: 5/10 it lasts only a brief time, 5 hours max for me. Honestly and fairly subpar for what I have come to expect from Terenzi.
Would i buy a full bottle? The price is double if not triple some Terenzi compositions that I like much more. I will enjoy my decant and likely let it fade into memories all it’s own.

Sweet saffronic tobacco.
It’s like a sweet yet sour tobacco blend with some chilies. It has patchouli, carnations, pepper, vanilla, and balsamic notes.
This is quite complex and contains quite a huge number of notes in! As a matter of fact, the deeper you inhale the more notes you’ll detect. I detected peony quite big in the dry down. After all it’s creamy balmy dark blend.
Edit (9th Jan 2017) This has an overdose of chilies, styrax, balsamic, & soil notes. The caramel isn’t the top note, but the tobacco, oud is then comes the honey, the chilies, balsamic, soil, and styrax. I also detect allot of black pepper, geranium, citrus, and peony. It is quite complex.

Being an Oriental woody-leathery cologne, Chimaera strikes as one that would stand out from the ones marketed by “others”. Tho’ its price is steep in my country, I’m about to conclude plans to pick this gem of a cologne!
