V Canto Posi is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Paolo Terenzi. Posi opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Rose, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Amber, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. V Canto's Posi carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Posi is a rose fragrance with a woody heart that has truly divided the crowd. You'll either love its elegant, gender-bending complexity, or find the dominant rose note a bit too much. It's a real grower, so give that dry down time to blossom.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Its significant projection and longevity, coupled with a rich, elegant profile, make Posi less suitable for the office but perfect for dates or formal events where you want to make a statement. The woody-rose blend lends itself to sophisticated evening wear, though some find it versatile enough for daily use.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opens with a lively burst of citrus and spicy saffron, beautifully intertwined with a fresh rose. As it settles, a prominent geranium and cypriol oil emerge, adding an earthy depth to the floral heart. The base truly shines, a warm embrace of sandalwood, amber, and patchouli, grounding the rose in a rich, woody forest floor, softened by moss and musk.
