Magnificat

by Paolo Terenzi

V Canto Magnificat is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Paolo Terenzi. Magnificat opens with Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Amber, settles into a heart of Geranium, Cotton Candy, and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Musk, Incense, and Benzoin. V Canto's Magnificat carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a proper head-turner, but definitely not for everyone. Expect a divisive concoction of churchy incense, grown-up cotton candy, and a hefty amber warmth. You'll either adore its mystical depths or find the sweetness jarring.

Its potent projection and rich, warm spicy, and amber accords make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, the sensual and sophisticated nature, combined with good longevity, makes it perfect for romantic dates and formal evening events.

About

Magnificat opens with a robust embrace of rose and ylang-ylang, quickly intertwined with a rich, burnished amber that dominates the initial impression. As it settles, a unique cotton candy note emerges, not overly saccharine but rather a caramelised sweetness, cushioned by creamy sandalwood and the green, slightly peppery lift of geranium. The dry down is a smoky, balsamic affair, with earthy patchouli, resinous benzoin, and a deep, contemplative incense grounding the composition, all softened by a gentle hum of vanilla and musk. It's a complex journey from sweet floral amber to a sophisticated, smoky oriental.
