Good morning Frag Fam and happy Saturday. Woke up to a beautiful start to the day, even as I’m still trying to find that Christmas spirit. I’ll be honest, things feel a little heavy this year on multiple levels, but I’m choosing to take it one moment at a time and lean into the small comforts that bring joy, fragrance definitely being one of them. Grateful for this community and the positive energy we share.
Today’s wear is Teriaq Intense by Lattafa Perfumes, and this one immediately commands attention. Knowing it was formulated by Quentin Bisch, a true mastermind in modern perfumery, you can sense the intent and structure from the opening. It comes in rich, bold, and confident, with a dark sweetness balanced by depth and warmth that feels luxurious and well composed. There’s a smooth intensity that never feels chaotic, just purposeful and addictive, evolving beautifully as it wears on the skin. Performance is impressive with strong presence, yet it maintains refinement, making it feel far more elevated than its price point suggests. Teriaq Intense delivers a statement scent experience that punches above its weight and leaves a lasting impression. Rating this a solid 9.0.
