by V Canto
Stramonio by V Canto is a warm, spicy-sweet fragrance with a floral and woody dry-down, evoking an elegant and refined aura. The opening features saffron, jasmine, carnation, and orchid, creating a luminous and slightly animalic floral core, before settling into a rich blend of vanilla, ambergris, musk, and patchouli. The base notes of ebony wood and oakmoss lend a deep, earthy woodiness that adds complexity and a slightly smoky depth. The scent is most strongly associated with evening wear, and its sillage is moderate to strong—nearly always noticeable, especially in cold weather. While it doesn’t project intensely, it persists with subtle, intimate presence over time, and its longevity is moderate to long, making it well-suited for layered wear. It shares DNA with Baccarat Rouge 540 and Mancera Instant Crush, but stands apart as more wearable and less sweet, leaning toward an intellectual, restrained luxury rather than overt opulence.
