Rebirth is the central idea behind Phen, the latest Extrait de Parfum by Fabrizio Tagliacarne Perfumes. Phen is a reflection on transformation, resilience and the ability to emerge stronger from adversity. Inspired by the symbolism of the phoenix, Phen translates a deeply personal narrative into scent, creating an olfactory portrait of strength rather than perfection.
The launch also marks a new chapter for Fabrizio Tagliacarne Perfumes. Founded in 2019 as an artistic perfumery atelier celebrating ten years of Omnia Profumi, the brand is rooted in its founder's journey through jewellery, aesthetics and a highly personal vision of luxury. Today, a new visual identity inspired by the cinematic works of Jack Vettriano transforms each fragrance into a visual story where light, shadow and atmosphere become inseparable from the olfactory experience.
Phen embraces this new direction perfectly as it explores the emotional space between falling and rising again. Dedicated to those who turn scars into wings, the fragrance becomes an expression of renewal, determination and individuality.
Notes
Phen opens with an assertive combination of leather, green notes and aldehydic accords. The effect is immediate and distinctive. The leather introduces character and depth, while the green facets create freshness and movement. Aldehydes bring luminosity, giving the composition an almost cinematic sense of light emerging through darkness.
As the fragrance develops, birch wood and clove begin to dominate the heart. Their woody and spicy character reinforces the fragrance's sense of structure and determination. Yet beneath this intensity lies an unexpected caramel accord, adding warmth and subtle sweetness without ever compromising the composition's sophistication.
The dry down reveals the fragrance's most enveloping side. Cedarwood and sandalwood create a refined and persistent base, while vanilla softens the edges with a smooth, comforting warmth. The result is a trail that feels intimate yet powerful, leaving behind an impression of quiet confidence rather than overt seduction.
What defines Phen is its ability to balance strength with elegance. It never becomes aggressive, nor does it surrender to softness. Instead, it remains suspended between vulnerability and power, much like the process of transformation that inspired it.
Packaging
Phen arrives as part of the brand's new visual universe, where fragrance is conceived not only as scent but also as narrative. Inspired by the evocative imagery of Jack Vettriano, the new identity places atmosphere at the centre of the experience. Light, shadow and emotion become visual extensions of the perfume itself.
The bottle reflects this philosophy through a design language that feels contemporary yet timeless. Rather than relying on excess, it communicates through mood, storytelling and visual depth. The result is an object that mirrors the fragrance it contains: intense, sophisticated and unapologetically individual.
Ultimately, Phen is a fragrance about becoming yourself again.
