Tethys by Giardino Benessere opens green and slightly bitter, Tuscan iris and violet giving it a cool, powdery lift. Peach softens the fruit through the middle, and white musk settles the base into something clean and close to skin. Composed in 2021, it wears as true unisex, suiting anyone who wants freshness over sweetness regardless of gender. Spring and summer daylight are where voters place it. Longevity leans long-lasting according to the community. Sillage is a clearer story: most voters call it strong for something built this fresh. A 3ml decant is enough to wear it across a run of bright days and judge how it holds on your own skin.

The community verdict
For anyone drawn to soft, powdery iris, Tethys opens with green notes and violet before peach and white musk settle in. Wear time divides between long-lasting and exceptionally long-lasting, while most find its projection strong. Spring days suit it best; summer and the office work too.

The house
More from Giardino Benessere
Giardino Benessere is an Italian niche house that the Terenzi siblings, Paolo and Tiziana, launched in 2015, carrying a family workshop near Rimini into its third generation. Its perfumes are all unisex and move between bright and dark. Bergamot, grapefruit and mandarin give the fresh side its sparkle. Underneath sit amber, cedar, guaiac wood and sandalwood, and sometimes a smoky thread of birch tar and leather. Florals such as carnation and lily-of-the-valley appear too, alongside green, herbal touches. Start with Tethys and Teia, the two newest here, both from 2021. Aurelia and Salaria, from 2018, round out a first set. Small sizes let you wear several before you settle on one.
