Arsenico
by V Canto
Arsenico presents a luminous, fruity-woody composition centered around pineapple, apple, and bergamot, evolving into a deeply textured blend of cedar, patchouli, tonka bean, and musky amber. The initial burst is bright and effervescent, with a veritable candy-like sweetness that gives way to a sensuous, earthy base. Longevity and sillage stand out as exceptional—this fragrance lingers well past a day, projecting moderately to strongly, captivating attention without overwhelming. The track is often described as unisex, with its combination of fresh, sweet, and woody elements making it versatile for wear in spring, summer, and autumn. While some note a fleeting medicinal or chemical shift mid-way through, most remain captivated by its depth, elegance, and mood-altering aura. The fragrance's performance surpass expectations, consistently receiving praise for its lasting trail and refined character.
