Menestrello

by Paolo Terenzi

V Canto Menestrello is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Paolo Terenzi. Menestrello opens with Ambrette, Cranberry, Redcurrant Leaf, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Benzoin, and Oud, and dries down to a base of Maple, Musk, Patchouli, and Cedar. V Canto's Menestrello carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Menestrello isn't exactly reinventing the wheel, is it? Expect a whiff of pleasant nostalgia rather than anything groundbreaking. It's perfectly fine, but don't hold your breath for a showstopper.

Its agreeable, albeit unoriginal, woody aromatic profile makes it versatile for most non-sporting occasions, particularly smart casual or formal settings where an understated presence is preferred. It's unlikely to offend in an office, but also won't make a huge statement on a date.

About

Menestrello opens with a tart, juicy burst of cranberry and redcurrant, brightened by a hint of elemi and the subtle muskiness of ambrette. The heart quickly deepens with an aromatic lavender and the earthy, slightly medicinal depth of cypriol and oud, a combination given richness by balsamic benzoin. In the dry down, the fragrance settles into a warm, woody embrace of maple and cedar, softened by patchouli and a persistent, clean musk.
