About This Perfume
V Canto Alki comes across as soft floral fruit draped over leather and oud. It opens with Brazilian passion fruit, Italian peach and Japanese cherry blossom, moves into ambergris, Bulgarian rose and Italian heliotrope and settles on Australian sandalwood, Bourbon vanilla and Cambodian oud. It reads unisex.
It is best in spring, fall and winter and is an evening scent. Reach for it for nights out. Released in 2025.
Wearers report that it lasts well into the evening, and projects strongly and fills a room. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something leather forward and signature for nights out.
- Sample first if: you prefer quiet scents; it projects.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $425.
