Tiziana Terenzi Arethusa

Like Arethusa, Millesime Imperial opens with bergamot and fruity notes, then moves into a floral heart. The key difference is its salty sea accord and woody base of cedar and sandalwood, which give it a more aquatic, less sweet character. While Arethusa leans on pomegranate and ginger, Millesime Imperial uses blackcurrant and iris for a crisper, more mineral finish.

This scent shares Arethusa's bergamot top and floral middle, but it is lighter and greener with freesia and lily of the valley. The musky white wood base is airier than Arethusa's fig and sandalwood. It is a more delicate, transparent take on the fruity floral theme, ideal for those who want a softer, less complex daytime fragrance.

Acqua Fiorentina parallels Arethusa's fruity opening with apple, plum, and bergamot, then blooms into a floral heart of carnation and rose. Where Arethusa adds aquatic and ginger notes, this one stays fruitier and sweeter with pear and a cedar sandalwood base. It is a more straightforward fruity floral with less aquatic texture.

Acqua di Gio matches Arethusa's bergamot and floral heart but leans heavily on aquatic and fresh accords with mint and pineapple top notes. Its base of amber, cedar, and musk is warmer and more classic than Arethusa's fig and vetiver. This is a brighter, more oceanic choice that still carries the fruity floral spirit.

Both start with citrus and move into floral territory, but Eau De Magnolia centers on magnolia and peach, while Arethusa uses jasmine and pomegranate. The base of moss, cedar, and patchouli gives it a green, woody character absent in Arethusa. It is a more refined, less sweet floral with a pronounced earthy finish.

Nuits de Noho shares Arethusa's bergamot and fruity opening, but its heart of jasmine, patchouli, and rosewood is darker and more woody. The vanilla and musk base makes it richer and sweeter, suited for evening wear. While Arethusa is aquatic and daytime, this is a warmer, more sensual fruity floral with greater sillage.

Spring Flower echoes Arethusa's fruity top with apple, apricot, and peach, then moves into a jasmine and rose heart. Its base of ambergris and musk is softer and more powdery than Arethusa's fig and vetiver. It is a gentler, more feminine fruity floral with less aquatic character and a creamier finish.

Accento opens with citrus and pineapple, a fruitier start than Arethusa's plum and orange. Its floral heart of iris, jasmine, and pink pepper is spicier, while the base of amber, vanilla, and patchouli is warmer and more complex. This is a bolder, more opulent fruity floral with greater longevity and a powdery muskiness.

Fame shares Arethusa's bergamot and floral heart but uses mango for a tropical fruity twist and olibanum for a resinous depth. The vanilla and sandalwood base is sweeter and creamier than Arethusa's fig and vetiver. It is a more modern, sweet fruity floral with a noticeable vanilla warmth and stronger sillage.

This fragrance mirrors Arethusa's bergamot and floral heart, but its top notes of magnolia and Bulgarian rose are more purely floral. The base of ambergris, apple, jasmine, and sandalwood is fruitier and softer than Arethusa's aquatic fig. It is a lighter, more transparent fruity floral with a creamy, airy finish.

Bal d'Afrique opens with citrus and black currant, similar to Arethusa's fruity start, but adds African orange flower and tagetes for a floral, slightly green character. Its base of amber, cedar, and vetiver is woodier and more aromatic. It is a drier, more sophisticated fruity floral with a warm, earthy backbone.

This scent shares Arethusa's citrus opening but replaces the floral heart with basil, thyme, and lilac for an aromatic, herbal character. The base of amberwood and patchouli is earthier and less sweet. It is a more green and spicy take on the citrus floral idea, with no aquatic notes and a sharper, fresher profile.
