Best Giardino Benessere Rea

Rea is a soft, floral, earthy scent created in 2019 by Paolo Terenzi. 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 a beautiful Iris bouquet and will last throughout your afternoon. It is made for anyone to wear anywhere. It is comparable to Goutal Paris’ Etoile d’Une Nuit, or great as a softer version of Ramon Monegal’s Impossible Iris.

Inspiration

This scent takes inspiration from the Titaness Rhea, wife of Cronus, who is considered to be the “Mother of Gods”. One story states that her intense love made fragrant flowers bloom over lush meadows and succulent fruit sprang from the earth, but that same passion could also encompass the strength of volcanoes and earthquakes.

Notes

This scent is a beautiful floral bouquet with an intoxicating Iris infusion. Using both Imperial and Flag Iris, it is heightened with Magnolia, Lavender, Rose, and Jasmine. A subtle touch of citrus gives way to a hint of Tuscan Leather. An earthy base of Oak Moss, Birch, Sandalwood and Patchouli are softened by Vanilla Berries. Nothing overpowers the Iris, and so it lives on throughout the composition.
