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.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Given its moderate performance and often described 'refreshing' or 'clean' qualities, Vidi leans towards casual and daytime wear, with some finding it suitable for sport. Its unconventional nature makes it less ideal for formal settings, though a few found it worked for black-tie events.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opens with a refreshing, almost surprising blend of cool cucumber and warm cardamom, creating an initial intriguing contrast. This quickly transitions to a heart of delicate rose and saffron, underpinned by a hint of cyclamen, adding a floral-spicy layer. The dry down settles into an unconventional mix of dry, hay-like immortelle, woody notes, and a soft musk, with hints of vanilla and ambergris adding a subtle warmth.
