Carticasi

Testa Maura

Floral · Green · Spicy

Testa Maura Carticasi is a unisex scent that balances a floral, green character with resinous, woody and earthy shades. Voters rate its longevity as good, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It doesn't lean clearly towards any season or occasion, and its unisex build suits both men and women. It opens with mastic. In the heart, ylang-ylang, rose and galbanum meet: the floral side is cut with a green, slightly sharp edge. Cedarwood in the base settles everything onto a dry, woody floor. The spicy and earthy accords stay in the background. Frama 1917 (Eau de Parfum) and Aēsop Rōzu have a close profile.

Testa Maura

Citrus · Floral · Green

Testa Maura Mia Murza is a unisex scent that opens with citrus and settles into a resinous, earthy base with a faint animal edge. Bergamot brings a fresh, slightly green citrus at the start, while immortelle in the heart adds a floral, spicy tone. The base is led by patchouli, Peru balsam and labdanum: the scent turns woody, powdery and resinous, with earthy and animal shades that keep it dry rather than sweet. Salvador Dali Sunrise in Cadaquès and Diptyque Eau Nabati have a close profile.
