V Canto Ricina is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Paolo Terenzi. Ricina opens with Bergamot, Orange, Peach, and Plum, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Iris, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. V Canto's Ricina carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a divisive but ultimately beloved fruity-floral that's constantly compared to more expensive niche offerings. If you're after that 'old money' vibe without the 'old money' price tag, Ricina's worth a sniff.

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.

About

Ricina opens with a bright, juicy burst of bergamot and orange, sweetened by plush peach and dark plum. The heart unfolds into a delicate bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine, and peony, lending a clean, almost soapy freshness. As it dries, a sophisticated warmth emerges, with creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and a subtle touch of oud grounding the vibrant fruits and florals. The oakmoss provides a classic, lingering green depth.
