Siene.

Paolo Terenzi set out to capture the rugged spirit of Italy’s Tuscan hills in 2019, naming the scent Siene after the ancient Roman term for the wind that sweeps the coastline. Drawing on the family’s candle‑making roots, he blended raw leather with cypress and juniper to evoke a sunrise over stone terraces, then layered incense and iris to suggest the lingering heat of a summer dusk. The result is a unisex extrait that mirrors the house’s love for narrative‑driven, high‑concentration compositions.

The juxtaposition of Tuscan leather and fresh juniper is unusual for a woody‑spicy fragrance, giving Siene a duality that feels both grounded and airy. Adding incense and Myrrh introduces a smoky, resinous depth, while the heart’s iris softens the edge with powdery elegance. In the base, honey and Indian sandalwood wrap the composition in a warm, slightly sweet veil, letting the leather linger without overwhelming the senses.

The opening erupts with a sharp burst of juniper needles and the unmistakable bite of Tuscan leather, while cypress adds a green, resinous whisper that feels like a forest clearing at dawn. Within ten minutes the heart awakens: incense curls like thin smoke, Myrrh adds an animalic richness, and iris brings a subtle powdery lift, while Indian patchouli grounds the blend with earthy depth. As the fragrance settles, the base emerges slowly, honey drips sweetly, amber glows warm, and Indian sandalwood spreads a creamy woodiness. A trace of musk and a whisper of Cambodian oud appear in the final hours, giving the dry‑down a lingering, almost tactile warmth that can last well beyond eight hours on skin, leaving a faint, smoky trail that invites a second glance.

Since its 2019 debut, Siene has become a touchstone for fans of leather‑forward niche scents. Wearers often cite its balanced green‑leather opening as a fresh alternative to the darker Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, while the incense‑rich heart earns nods from those who appreciate smoky, resinous compositions. Its longevity and strong sillage make it a staple for evening outings and cooler seasons, cementing its place in the modern leather‑aromatic niche.
