Chimaera Extrait de Parfum is a magical oriental-spicy unisex perfume for men and women, released in 2014 by the Italian niche brand Tiziana Terenzi. The scent alternately flares with scorching resins and fiery spices, then with floral fragrances and incredible woody accords. At the heart of the composition lies a complex bouquet of rare, unusual components, centered on a smoky accord of Turkish incense. The aromatic pyramid also includes notes of magnolia, black pepper, saffron, patchouli leaf, cashmere wood, labdanum, benzoin, agarwood (oud), caramel, pine, honey, tobacco, and leather.

Perfumer Paolo Terenzi takes us on an ascent of Mount Chimaera, through thickets of herbs and shrubs, with the warm and intoxicating aromas of sage, cistus, thyme, laurel, and other aromatic plants. The composition of Chimaera embodies the ambient scents of nature. This natural sweetness is enhanced by a creamy caramel accord and powdery notes of iris and clove. The scent of wild, lush nature, sweet and warm at the same time, is enhanced by the intense aroma of burnt caramel emanating from the small camps at the foot of the mountain, where hikers stop to rest before the ascent. This scent lingers in the air and is reflected in the blue sea as you sail past the ruins of the ancient city to the lighthouse at Cape Gelidonya, which stands alone in a place rich in history and legend. The intensity and allure of this combination of fire and water are captured in a perfume extract crafted from extremely rare and precious natural raw materials. This untouched corner, wild and rugged, embodies all the splendor and power of the Mediterranean, which, like the ancient Greek gods, spews supernatural and magical fire from its depths, creating a chimera.
