V Canto Fili is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. Fili opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Leather, Cardamom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. V Canto's Fili carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive opulent beast - some hail it as a luxurious masterpiece, others question its originality and price. What everyone agrees on is that it’s a confident, complex citrus-woody affair that makes an entrance.

About

Fili opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly undercut by the distinctive, slightly tart bite of redcurrant leaf. As the citrus mellows, a rich, masculine heart emerges, dominated by smooth leather and the earthy, subtly spicy warmth of cypriol and cardamom. The dry-down is an elegant, deep affair, settling into a sophisticated blend of earthy oakmoss, woody notes, and warm amber, with a lingering whisper of patchouli.
