Navitus Parfums Virtus is a Parfum launched in 2019, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Virtus opens with Davana, Bergamot, Cardamom, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cinnamon, Honey, Beeswax, and Fig, and dries down to a base of Driftwood, Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Navitus Parfums's Virtus carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive yet distinctive tobacco scent that some find intoxicatingly sweet and complex, while others are put off by its intensity or perceive it as too similar to other heavy hitters. Definitely sample first.

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.

About

Virtus opens with a vibrant, spicy flourish of nutmeg and cardamom, softened by davana and a hint of saffron. As it settles, a rich, honeyed heart emerges, blending with creamy beeswax and subtle nuances of fig and mango, adding a sophisticated sweetness. The dry down is a warm embrace of tobacco and vanilla, grounded by earthy patchouli, resinous benzoin, and a touch of salty driftwood and ambergris, creating a multifaceted, long-lasting aroma.
