Ten years after captivating the world with a bold, sensual and deeply evocative fragrance, Tiziana Terenzi presents Kirkè Overdose — a special edition that honours the olfactory legacy of its most iconic creation. This new launch not only marks a decade of success but also reimagines the original’s essence in an even more intense, emotional and magnetic interpretation, true to the maison’s artistic spirit.
Inspired by the figure of Circe, the mythical enchantress of the Odyssey who shaped destiny with her spells, Kirkè Overdose is conceived as a tribute to feminine power, transformation, and the perfume’s ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. The fragrance unveils a rich, enveloping olfactory structure that opens with radiant fruity notes — Brazilian passion fruit, Romagna peach, red raspberry from Trentino and Bulgarian rose — before giving way to a complex floral heart where alpine lily of the valley and Japanese gardenia blend with blackcurrant from the Dolomites, Indian sambac jasmine, Siberian valley lily, and a soft accord of warm sand.
The base reveals a sensual symphony composed of Sardinian heliotrope, Indian red patchouli, Australian sandalwood, Madagascan bourbon vanilla, musk and grey amber. Each note has been carefully selected to evolve with the skin, creating a lasting, intimate and sophisticated trail that transforms Kirkè Overdose into a true olfactory ritual.
The bottle, conceived as a sculptural piece, is inspired by a 5th-century BC Greek vase currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Its ornamental details pay tribute to myths of transformation, to gods and eternal stories that define the very essence of haute parfumerie. As is tradition at Tiziana Terenzi, each flacon is crafted by hand, honouring the time and artisanal processes that imbue each piece with character and authenticity.
