V Canto Stricnina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Paolo Terenzi. Stricnina opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Lemon, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Floral, Green, Cinnamon, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. V Canto's Stricnina carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive yet popular take on fruity scents, Stricnina is a bold, sweet-tart tropical bomb. Lovers rave about its beast-mode performance and juicy character, while detractors get a chemical, animalic musk. Definitely for those who want to be noticed.

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with a bold fruity sweetness, make it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is preferred. However, this same intensity makes it a fantastic choice for dates and evening events, where making a statement is desired.

About

It hits you with a punch of bright, tangy passionfruit and tart redcurrant, underscored by crisp bergamot. As it settles, a sweet, juicy heart of peach and raspberry emerges, subtly spiced with cinnamon and hints of fresh greenness. The dry down is a playful blend of creamy vanilla and cotton candy, balanced by soft woods and a clean musk.
