V Canto Psiche is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Paolo Terenzi. Psiche settles into a heart of Red Fruits, Brown Sugar, Citrus, and Cedar. V Canto's Psiche carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Psiche is either a versatile, crowd-pleasing masterpiece of fruity sweetness, or it's a generic, astringent mess that smells suspiciously like Baccarat Rouge - take your pick, because the community is utterly split.

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.

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.

About

Psiche opens with a vibrant burst of red berries and bright citrus, quickly sweetened by a rich brown sugar and creamy vanilla. The heart reveals a complex floral bouquet of magnolia, lily, and lotus, underpinned by an earthy blend of vetiver and oakmoss. As it settles, warm tonka bean and benzoin emerge, adding depth to the lingering sweet, woody trail.
