Description
“At the end of a warm, sun-kissed summer, in the month of September (6 September 1978), Paolo and Tiziana encountered the Black Moon for the very first time. A particular eclipse, which takes place once every 32 months in the celestial cosmos but has been frightening civilizations since time began. That unforgettable emotion was the spark that created Eclix, the fragrance of the Black Moon and of reassuring love. A new creation that joins the Moon Collection, where the fairytale element of the memory always surfaces boldly to explore the line that separates memory from fantasy and magic from reality.
Just like that warm embrace, the creation, enclosed in a inscrutable black bottle with a jewel-shaped cap, opens up and envelopes its wearer with the sweetness of precious Tahiti vanilla, interwoven with contrasting notes provided by almond and hints of citrus from Sorrento lemons and Calabrian mandarin oranges. Notes of Iris enrich its bouquet of top notes with the regal mellowness of the well-known flower of kings, to then lie out on petals of violet, white lily and the rural elegance of the petitgrain. This strong embrace, as warm as a large cashmere scarf, but at the same time as cool as a spring breeze for the touch of goodness in its middle notes, forms the base of its entire structure and gathers its energy and strength from the different types of wood that compose its base notes. Fine, rare woods As rare as the phenomenon of the Black Moon, and as rare and precious as the fortune of encountering an embrace that fills you with love. And so the precious hints of sandal wood become notable, as does the enduring strength of cedar wood mixed with the extremely rare roots of Iris, emphasized by rare Musk & Amber, macerated for over 30 years, forming part of the private collection of the Terenzi Family.” – a note from the brand.
Eclix by Tiziana Terenzi is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Eclix was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Paolo Terenzi. Top notes are tahitian vanilla, almond, iris, tangerine and lemon; middle notes are lemon, violet, white lily and petitgrain; base notes are sandalwood, cedar, orris root, musk and amber.

I get that rubber-like smell also. But to me its one of those cases of something smelling all the more gorgeous because it’s reminiscent of something ordinary, but not quite like it – more of a sublimated version of it than like it as such. There is actually an article on this phenomenon on this site. And it does indeed work for me: I have quite a few perfumes that bring to mind trivial and not even necessarily very pleasant smelling things on a ‘higher olfactory plane’ (if you like), and work a magic with me precisely because they do this.
The very first thing I thought, instantly, the very first time I tried this in the store was “this smells of rubber party balloons”. And every time I went in there for many times afterwards, I just couldn’t keep away from this stuff – I just had to have another go on it to get that ‘rubber party balloon’ smell! And one day I took it to one of the ladies on duty squirted on a card, and said “I think this smells of rubber party ballons!” … and she agreed! (And I don’t think she was bluffing to ‘humour’ a customer, if I am at all able to discern such things.)
And eventually one day, as had become inevitable I think, I broke and acquired it – which was a big thing really, as after all this one is more of a ‘major purchase’ than many. But I do not regret it at all – it is one of my prize perfume items – as it ought to be, as there are few I have tested quite so thoroughly prior to acquisition and been so patient about.

Well that was disappointing…I looked at the notes and figured since I’m a big fan of quite a few from this house that this one would smell great, sadly all I get is a rubber like smell

Don’t be fooled by the initial smell of this, since it starts off exactly as baby oil and sits there for like an hour.
If you do not judge it within the first development phase, you will receive a very warm welcome of complex notes in its second stage.
I mainly smell Sandalwood, Iris and almonds here; none of the fresher notes listed in the pyramid are detected by my nose. However, this part is absolutely stunning and it feels like there is a soft pillow around your neck… it lasts and last for like 7-8 hours and after that it turns into a cozy vanilla base with low projection…
This can’t be worn on Summer days, but it is your perfect companion for Fall and Winter.
Recommended for cuddle sessions with your significant other :))) Not office suitable IMHO…
Enjoy……

I was looking for almond scent. When I heard about this fragrance, I was looking for it in a store. What can I say – at first this is a great sweet (maybe even too sweet) almonds. But only for an hour. After that time, it transforms into a soft powdery mist on my skin. Very warm and gentle. The silage is very strong and longevity is really enormous. So if you want powdery scents this one is a great choice.

The dominant isn’t almonds, or even iris! it is more of incense, black pepper, and orris. It has tangerine, violets, sandalwood, cedar, amber, & musk.
The black pepper, orris, tangerine blend is dominant.
Interesting as i begun to sense some night sand within the blend after few hours.

Starts out like a chypre, tangy sweet and slightly bitter, then slowly transforms into powdery almond, in an reassuring and masculine fashion; one of the most interesting transition I’ve ever encountered and each stage is amazing in its own way, especially when the two intertwines in the middle!
