by Tiziana Terenzi
Draco by Tiziana Terenzi is a gourmand musk fragrance that opens with a bright, citrusy burst of bergamot, lemon, and green notes, quickly giving way to a soft, powdery peach and white floral heart. The scent evolves into a creamy, sweet vanilla musk base with subtle heliotrope, tonka bean, and heliotrope, creating a subtle yet intense dry down that lingers for days. While the initial burst is fresh and fruity, the dominant character is a synthetic, clean musk that gives the fragrance its striking sillage and longevity. Many users describe it as a refined, soapy, gourmand experience — akin to a luxurious, milky vanilla body wash or a soft cotton candy effect — with some noting it resembles Kiehl's or other boutique soaps. It leans feminine in its opening but develops a more unisex, musky presence over time, with cedar and patchouli adding depth. The projection is extremely strong, often described as 'beast mode' or 'crushing' by users, but its smooth emotional quality makes it wearable. While some find it too sweet or synthetic, others praise its consistency and elegance, especially for warm weather or casual wear.
