Paolo Terenzi the eccentric guest from Italy says that perfume is a journey, a memory trapped inside a falcon, he believes a scent is far beyond just a smell, it’s an emotional and sentimental connection. This philosophy is what brought him to Israel to meet a small group of local opinion leaders who will help him determine what scent should be chosen to represent and to be named “Tel Aviv” The 3rd generation Italian perfumers, siblings Tiziana and Paolo Terenzi decided to honor our vibrant city and dedicate their latest perfume to our buzzing town, the chosen fragrance will be produced in their traditional Italian factory in bologna and will be sold exclusively at the James Richardson Duty Free at Ben Gurion Airport.

For this occasion we gathered for a private dining experience at The Blue Rooster restaurant, we (the panel of perfume enthusiasts) had 3 scents to choose from, the first: a seductive glamorous deep dark fragrance, the second: a powdery dusty smell and third: the fragrance that has been chosen by majority of votes was a light, fresh and citrus based scent that reminded me of the iconic orange orchards of this land.

“You don’t choose the perfume, the perfume chooses you”
Paolo Terenzi
