V Canto 2019 Extrait
Fili
V Canto Fili is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. Fili opens with Blackcurrant 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 Notes, Amber, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. V Canto's Fili carries a Statement verdict, a woody-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.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Given its strong projection and luxurious, complex blend, Fili is best suited for social occasions where it can truly shine without overpowering. It's too bold for daily office wear but perfect for dates and formal events, transcending seasons due to its fresh-spicy-earthy balance.
