Why We Carry This

Ursa is Tiziana Terenzi's strongest oud entry and the one that most rewards commitment. The cardamom-oud-leather structure has genuine depth, and the patchouli-amber base delivers longevity that matches the ambition. Clients who find most oud fragrances too medicinal find Ursa approachable because the rose and amber soften the edges without diluting the core.

Perfumer: Tiziana Terenzi

Launched: 2016

Cardamom opens Ursa with a warmth that the pink pepper keeps from becoming sweet, bergamot adding brightness in the first minutes. Oud and leather take the heart with a depth that rose threads through without softening significantly. This is the celestial series at its darkest: the Great Bear constellation given a material register that is powerful and slightly forbidding. Patchouli and amber in the base are tenacious, the finish lasting well past eight hours on skin.
