ThenThere Dickens in Varanasi is an intense unisex fragrance from the Italian brand ThenThere, released in 2024.
This extrait de parfum has a very strong sillage, making it ideal for those who enjoy expressive, noticeable fragrances with character.
The name refers to Varanasi, a city of contrasts where spices, incense smoke, warm air, flowers and ancient wood exist side by side.
In ThenThere's interpretation, this idea is not a literal reconstruction of the place, but a dimensional olfactory image: bright, resinous and spicy, gradually enveloping the skin in soft warmth.
In terms of its character, Dickens in Varanasi combines balsamic, floral, spicy and woody nuances.
The fragrance balances freshness and density: a sparkling opening gives way to a warm heart, then transitions into a deep, smoky and slightly gourmand base.
The composition was created by perfumer Angela Ciampagna.
Her work is built on expressive contrasts: transparent fruity-citrusy nuances meet amber, spices, white flowers, dry woods and dark resinous accents.
This is a unisex fragrance that does not seek to appear exclusively feminine or masculine.
On the skin, it can smell different from person to person: for some, it will emphasize spicy woods and tobacco depth; for others, it will reveal vanilla softness, floral warmth and delicate fruity freshness.
Because of its very strong sillage, Dickens in Varanasi is especially suited to cool weather, evenings, events and situations where the fragrance should remain a noticeable part of the overall look.
For the office, a small room or a hot day, it is better to use a minimal amount and test the composition on the skin first.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been specified for this release.
A practical approach is to start with one spray on the skin, let the extrait unfold and only then decide whether an additional dose is needed; on clothing, the fragrance may last especially long.
Those drawn to an intense spicy-woody aesthetic may want to explore Mancera Red Tobacco, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Turath and The Spirit of Dubai Meydan.
They are not exact duplicates of Dickens in Varanasi, but may appeal to lovers of powerful fragrances, warm spices, woody accords and pronounced sillage.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The opening is simultaneously fresh, slightly tart, and spicy: a citrus spark and juicy fruits quickly take on a resinous, spicy nuance.
At the heart, amber, cedar, cinnamon, jasmine, magnolia, patchouli, and saffron unfold.
Here, the fragrance becomes warmer and denser, combining dry woods, soft white-floral nuances, and a distinctive saffron-and-cinnamon spiciness.
The base is composed of incense, white musk, oud, sandalwood, tobacco, vanilla, and vetiver.
The finish is deep and long-lasting: smoky, resinous nuances are supported by creamy woods, tobacco-like dryness, vanilla warmth, and a clean musky accent.
The main impression of the pyramid is a transition from fruity-citrusy freshness to a rich spicy heart and a powerful woody-balsamic base.
Thanks to the combination of saffron, incense, tobacco, oud, and vanilla, the fragrance remains distinctive throughout its development.
