Histoires de Parfums Vici is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Vici opens with Angelica, Red Fruits, Violet Leaf, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Celery Seeds, Iris, Osmanthus, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Patchouli, and Raspberry. Histoires de Parfums's Vici carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Vici is a properly divisive one. Some love its unique violet-soap and pencil shavings vibe, while others are put off by what they perceive as an overdose of synthetic notes. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and unique, clean character make it versatile for casual wear and dates. While it can work in the office, its distinctiveness might be too much for some formal settings. It's too refined for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Vici opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes, mingling with green violet leaf and the fresh, aromatic kick of basil and cardamom. As it settles, a clean, powdery iris emerges, softened by the subtle sweetness of osmanthus and a hint of spiritual incense. The base grounds the composition with earthy patchouli and cedar, lifted by a surprising whisper of raspberry and a clean, almost animalic musk that gives it a quiet depth.
