V Canto 2017 EDP
Stricnina
V Canto Stricnina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Paolo Terenzi. Stricnina opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Blackcurrant, and Passionfruit, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Green Notes, Cinnamon, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, 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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
