V Canto Cianuro is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Paolo Terenzi. Cianuro opens with Papaya, Neroli, Pineapple, and Mango, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Leather, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. V Canto's Cianuro carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a tropical paradise in a bottle, pure happiness. Others blast it as soft, unimpressive, or even old-ladyish. You'll either adore its juicy, evolving scent, or find it a faint, soapy disappointment.

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.

Its potent tropical and floral notes, combined with a strong sillage mentioned by some, lean it more towards casual and date wear than a quiet office environment. The unique, evolving character also suits less formal settings.

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
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Cianuro kicks off with a vibrant burst of tropical fruit - think juicy passionfruit, sweet mango, and tangy pineapple, all brightened by a hint of neroli. This lively opening soon gives way to a fresh floral heart, with delicate water lily and rose. The base then grounds this fruity-floral exuberance with a sophisticated blend of earthy patchouli, creamy sandalwood, soft cashmere wood, and a whisper of leather, creating a complex, evolving dry down.
