V Canto Guercino is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023. Guercino opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Frangipani, Melon, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Amyris, Fir, Musk, and Patchouli. V Canto's Guercino carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet addictive, Guercino is a powerful fruit bomb that leans into its sweet, juicy core with unapologetic bravado. You'll either love its playful candy-like charm or find its synthetic dry-down a deal-breaker.

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.

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

Guercino opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and orange, quickly transitioning to a mouth-watering, almost candied heart. Dominant notes of ripe melon, crisp apple, and juicy pear create a 'bubblegum' effect, softened by a creamy frangipani. The base settles into a warm, musky ambergris with hints of vanilla and earthy patchouli, providing depth and a long-lasting finish.
