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

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.
