About This Perfume
V Canto Malatesta smells like Powdery jasmine tea, orange peel, soft leather. It opens with Sicilian orange, Calabrian mandarin orange and florentine iris, moves into Italian lavender, pink pepper and jasmine and settles on musk, Indian patchouli and vanilla. It reads unisex.
This extrait de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2020.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.

V Canto Mirabile (Extrait de Parfum, 2015) reads as creamy spiced vanilla rum pudding, opening on vanilla and opoponax and drying down to vanilla absolute, tonka bean and musk. V Canto Magnificat (Extrait de Parfum, 2015) opens with amber and rose and ends on patchouli, benzoin and vanilla; overall it reads as powdery rose and cotton candy over warm vanilla resin.
