V Canto Astronomo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Paolo Terenzi. Astronomo opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Rose, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Pink Pepper, and Bay Leaf, and dries down to a base of Ebony, Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood.

Prepare for a polarised opinion; this one's a proper cosmic journey. Some find its complex, dark marine notes intriguing, while others are put off by its more challenging elements. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With strong projection and a challenging dark marine profile, this scent isn't suited for office or casual wear. It's built for making a statement at evening events or formal occasions, particularly dates, where its boldness can shine without overwhelming a space.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Astronomo opens with a vibrant, zesty hit of lemon and grapefruit, quickly joined by the unexpected tang of seaweed and a whisper of rose and cardamom. As it settles, a fresh, aromatic heart of juniper, lavender, and blackcurrant emerges, grounded by spicy pink pepper and a hint of intriguing ambergris. The base deepens into a woody embrace of ebony, cedar, and sandalwood, with the earthy, slightly damp character of oakmoss and musk leaving a lasting, intense trail.
