Murales
Designed for collectors of exclusive scents, Murales offers a complex olfactory profile that moves from bright Italian citrus to deep Lebanese woods. Tangerine, Orange, and sweet Plum create a rich opening that slowly melts into a heart of Tuberose, Violet, and Iris. The dry down relies on the dry, clean aroma of Hinoki wood and Cedar, sweetened slightly by Vanilla pods. It is a sophisticated option for evening wear during spring and autumn, catering to those who appreciate bold, woody florals. Given its potency and limited distribution, sampling is highly advised before committing to a full bottle purchase.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Tiziana Terenzi Murales: A Sweet, Woody Floral Built for Cool Evenings”
The opening of Murales is a sweet blast of Tangerine and Sicilian Orange, though this citrus brightness is immediately shadowed by a heavy, syrupy Plum and white Peach. The initial spray feels thick on the skin, showing its high oil concentration right away. It is fruity but not fresh, leaning instead into a dense, sweet jamminess that defines the first hour of wear.
As the fragrance settles, the heart emerges with a dominant white floral profile. Tuberose and Jasmine take center stage, giving the scent a classical, slightly heady character. A powdery touch of Iris and Violet softens the edges, preventing the white flowers from becoming too sharp, though the sweetness of the fruit still lingers in the background.
The dry down is where this scent becomes interesting, moving away from pure sweetness. The base is built around Hinoki wood and Cedar of Lebanon, which introduce a dry, clean, almost coniferous texture. This woody backbone, combined with a subtle Vanilla and Musk, keeps the fragrance grounded and stops it from fully dissolving into a generic sweet floral.
Performance is excellent, as is typical for the brand. You can expect about nine hours of wear on skin, and even longer on clothing. Sillage is robust, pushing out beyond arm's length during the first two hours, so a light hand with the atomizer is recommended if you are wearing this indoors.
This scent is best suited for cool spring and autumn evenings. The lower temperatures keep the sweet Plum and Tuberose in check, allowing the dry Hinoki and Cedar to shine through. It is a formal, dressed-up fragrance that feels out of place with casual attire, requiring a bit of elegance to carry off successfully.
In the end, Murales is a quality release for those who love heavy, sweet floral-woody blends. However, its intense sweetness and high price tag mean it is not a safe blind buy. We recommend ordering a sample first to see how the dense fruit and wood accords behave on your skin over a full day.
FAQs
What does Murales smell like?+
This fragrance smells like a dense, sweet fruity-floral blend resting on a warm, woody base. The opening is bright with Tangerine and Sicilian Orange, but it quickly evolves into a heavy heart of Tuberose, Jasmine, and Plum. The base brings a dry, resinous quality through Hinoki wood and Cedar of Lebanon, wrapped in soft Vanilla.
Does Murales lean more masculine or feminine?+
While marketed as unisex, the strong presence of sweet Plum, Peach, Tuberose, and Jasmine gives it a noticeable feminine lean. The woody dry down of Cedar of Lebanon and Hinoki adds a unisex balance, making it wearable for anyone who enjoys sweet, heavy florals.
How long does Murales last on the skin?+
You can expect excellent longevity from this bottle. On skin, the Vanilla, Musk, and Hinoki base notes linger for eight to ten hours. It projects strongly for the first three hours before settling into a warm, persistent bubble that hugs the skin closely.
What is the sillage and projection of this fragrance?+
The sillage is strong and noticeable. In the first few hours of wear, the combination of Tuberose, Orange, and Plum projects outward to about arm's length. It is not quiet, so moderate your sprays in close indoor environments like offices.
Which season is best for wearing Murales?+
This fragrance is best suited for spring and autumn. The cool, crisp air of transition seasons helps cut through the heavy sweetness of Peach and Jasmine, preventing the scent from becoming overly cloying, which can easily happen during hot, humid summer days.
Is Murales suitable for everyday casual wear?+
Due to its sweet, potent white floral profile, this scent is better reserved for evening wear, dinners, or special occasions. The intense Tuberose and Plum accords feel too dressed-up and heavy for a simple casual t-shirt and jeans afternoon.
How does the opening compare to the dry down?+
The opening is a juicy, bright citrus burst of Tangerine and Orange combined with sweet Peach. As it dries down over several hours, the citrus fades entirely, leaving a powdery Iris, warm Vanilla, and a dry, aromatic Hinoki wood base.
Is Murales a good choice for a blind buy?+
No, you should sample this first. The sweetness of the Plum and Peach combined with heavy Tuberose can feel overwhelming, and its price point makes a blind purchase risky. It is a polarizing scent that requires skin testing.
Are there any good layering combinations for Murales?+
To tone down the intense sweetness, try layering this with a dry, linear cedar or ISO E Super fragrance. The added woodiness anchors the fruity notes of Peach and Plum, shifting the overall scent profile toward a drier, more masculine direction.
What age group does this fragrance suit best?+
This scent suits a mature audience, generally individuals over twenty-five. The complex, powdery combination of Iris, Lily, and Magnolia, combined with resinous Hinoki wood, gives it a sophisticated character that might feel too heavy or formal for teenagers.
