Crio is a floral, aromatic, earthy scent created by Paolo Terenzi in 2018. Part of the “Titans Collection”, it is one of 8 scents that is inspired by the origins of the world, and the Titans and Titanides who represent the profound forces that determined nature and her rules.
Review
This scent is light and uplifting, while still being bold. It is an interesting scent that feels like it continually changes style, but also remains what it is. Tuberose shines amongst a blend of flowers with a nice, fresh pop from Earl Grey Tea and Pink Pepper, but is also mellowed and slightly sweetened with Tonka Bean. A blend of Resins and Musk add depth and longevity, without making the scent too heavy. Because of the blend of the other notes, you might not even realize the base of the scent is comprised of mostly Resins. Something about it gives it a very gentle aquatic feeling that comes and goes. It feels innocent and playful, but also unassumingly powerful. It feels like skin and ocean and air and dew. It smells like a sweet Summer scent. It has a casually elegant aroma to it that can easily be dressed up or down for any time, place or occasion, and will work perfectly well in an office setting. It is something you can wear year-round, but has a very Spring/Summer essence to it. It is comparable to Amouage Reflection Woman with a bit more of a floral aspect to it, and Amouage Honour Woman with more warmth.
Inspiration
Crio is inspired by the Greek God who dominated the cosmos; born of the God and Goddess of heaven and earth.Â
Notes
A crisp note of Earl Grey Tea is enveloped in a floral bouquet of Orange Flowers, Rose and Iris. Tuberose takes over the heart with an earthy note of Oak Moss, and the sweetness of Tonka Bean. A warm, resinous base of Resinoid and Opoponax are threaded into the warmth of Benzoin and Musk, and wisp of Tuscan Leather.
