Arsenico

by Paolo Terenzi

V Canto Arsenico is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Paolo Terenzi. Arsenico opens with Red Currant, Apple, Pineapple, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Birch, Patchouli, and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Musk, and Amber. V Canto's Arsenico carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

V Canto's Arsenico is a controversial elixir, splitting opinions between 'magical' and 'too masculine'. It's a beastly fruity-woody scent, powerful and long-lasting, but definitely not for everyone. Don't blind buy; this one demands a test drive.

Its powerful projection and longevity make it less suitable for an office environment.

While some find it versatile, its intensity might be overwhelming for casual daily wear.

About

Opens with a potent blast of juicy red currant, apple and pineapple, brightened by a hint of bergamot. This vibrant start quickly mellows into a rich, woody heart of birch, cedar, and earthy patchouli, with a resinous warmth from tonka and benzoin, adding a touch of smoky leather. The dry down is a deeply sensual embrace of oakmoss, musk, and amber, providing a complex and enduring finish.
