Arsenico

A lovely creation by vcanto_terenzi once again! It’s woody, earthy yet fruity & sweet with balsamic undertones at the same time! Unique and perfectly blended, what an amazing scent! Opens up with bergamot giving a fresh & citrusy feel, soon enough the scent becomes very fruity and juicy thanks to the amazing combo of apple & pineapple. Red currant adds its sour and slightly green vibe to the scent. In the mid there’s a gorgeous woody accord you can’t resist! Cedar wood and birch work perfectly together creating a dry woody vibe with smokey and leathery undertones. Patchouli and davana add an earthy character while tonka bean & benzoin give a warm, balsamic and sweet kind of vibe. As it dries down there’s a very sensual & intoxicating combo of amber and musk which I find highly addictive! It’s unisex but it leans more to the masculine side. Extremely versatile you can wear it all year round, day & night! Projection it’s pretty good with amazing longevity! Overall I have to say that I’m very excited about the quality of vcanto_terenzi fragrances. Also the presentation is a top notch! The bottle, the box, the juice, everything is carefully crafted providing a niche quality experience. Ig: fragrancesguru

This is a bright and fresh pineapple centered composition similar to the famous Aventus but Arsenico is on the sweeter and fruity side.🍍🍍🍍 ⭐️It opens on a a really awesome combination of apple and pineapple with a top quality calabrian bergamot note and red Currant. ⭐️The middle stage of the fragrance shows its woody facet with Lebanese cedar and patchouli blended masterfully with Nagarmotha, benzoin, Tonka bean and Jasmine. ⭐️The dry down is a sexy combo of musk, amber and oakmoss. Overall a fragrance with great performance and it is definitely a Spring and Summer compliment getter.👃🏽😊👍🏽 This creation whose name evokes the deadliest poison is to my nose a beautiful work of art that will kill nothing other than your bad mood the day you will wear it. 😁👍🏽

Arsenico is a beautiful unisex fragrance which includes some interesting notes that are working amazingly good together and surprised me in a good way. This beautiful creation opens up with a graceful citrusy bouquet which is guided by calabrian bergamot and slowly becomes sweet thanks to the red fruits. All of this beauty flows to a woody vibe with some red patchouli, cedar and tonka bean which are all embraced by the jasmine and benzoin. This fragrance, with its incredible persistent trail is so long lasting because its true strength is found in grey amber, blended with ancient musk and precious mosses.

Deliciously authentic Mid-East exotica. Juicy, spicy, fruity, woody beast. Ancient musk, golden amber, yummy tonka bean, wisps of smoke & leather along w/ an incredibly addictive Lebanese cedarwood. Leans a bit masculine but I’d readily bathe in this while sipping it from a golden goblet. A brilliant composition in which each note holds its own yet collaborates perfectly to create a most impressive symphony. Intense projection & longevity, so be aware that whatever age u leave this earth, this beast will continue to emanate from ur coffin! ⚰️💨

Nothing like Aventus. It's fruity, almost like a really premium candy, with some amazing wood notes and apple in the background. Extremely long lasting, projection is great and people can smell you but it's not a BEAST mode fragrance. So people won't smell you one street away, but that's good. It gives you a really amazing aura. Also, the packaging with the bottle is top notch, absolutely luxurious quality.

a yummy fresh fragrance that is so fruity and bright and is lifting up my mood. The note combination is gorgeous, of course I'm not surprised as Paolo Terenzi is behind it, it cannot be a bad fragrance! Love love love it!

People compare this to Aventus, but really it's not even close to arsenico which is a VERY longlasting fragrance full of wood, cedar and a bit of sweetness. A real unique scent. I can wear it all winter long!

Si Oliver Creed hubiera buscado un Genio, para hacer la versión Perfecta y Mejorada por 100% de Aventus, hubiera sido el Maestro @PaoloTerenzi !!!! .. Espectacular!!

This perfume is magical, superior to many in its genre, no Aventus, no Hacivat, I think this is up there with these 2, sexy fruity, and very well blended, it's sexy!

Gorgeous woody cedar fragrance... I am excited to try this!

This one is a weird one, I absolutely love Paolo Terenzi’s perfumes but with Arsenico I’m not 100% crazy about. It starts with a beautiful bright pineapple, fruity, citrusy smell(very similar to Orion)that after a few minutes transitions in to a weird chemical almost medicinal smell, stays like that for several hours and then transitions in to a beautiful musky , slightly fruity skin scent. Not full bottle worthy for me. Edit: after a couple of years of playing with Arsénico I fell in love with it , it’s a beautiful versatile scent that starts fruity and stays fruity throughout its lifetime but the patchouli, tonka and oak moss add some heft that grounds the whole composition in to a beautiful sweet,fruity, woody whole year round gorgeous scent. To me it has some similarities to Orion and Fili but Arsénico is denser, woodier and the projection is much closer to the skin. So at the end I did end up getting a bottle.

Spicy and slightly balsamic fruits over a cedar-forward base. Apple & red currant takes center stage as far as the fruit is concerned, the pineapple is a supporting role. Not identical to Aventus but slight reminiscent in opening only, this is much spicier and woodier without the metallic aspect that's prevalent in Aventus. Warm/slightly cool weather is best, I think this would be overwhelming in strong heat and flat in strong cold. Projects very loudly and definitely leaves a trail. I'll be finishing my sample.

This is a very longlastig cedar-wood and vetiver centered fragrance. Leans more masculine on my skin but can be easily worn by a confident woman. It opens up with fresh green notes and pineapple and quickly goes into the Tom Ford BOIS MAROCAIN direction except that longevity is way better than TF release.

Very fruity, sweet yet spicy from dusty cedar. Definitely not for hot weather. Lays in the same ballpark as Gritti's You're so Vain, Creed's Aventus or Roja's Apex. It has a good projection and sillage. For me it's a bit too sweet and expensive and not special or innovative in any way but if you like these kind of fragrances go for it :)

الزرنيخ Arsenico عطر إستوحى إسمه من أكثر السموم فتكا على الإطلاق ، شديد الإغواء يستحوذ على الإنتباه و يجلب الكثير من الإطراء و المديح . هواء بارد وعائم برائحة ما بعد الإستحمام ، عطر الهدوء و الإسترخاء يطلّ بإنتعاش حمضية البرغموت الكالابري و مزيج فاكهي حلو طازج مثل الكشمش الأحمر ، التفاح و الأناناس ؛ و ما هي إلا لحظات حتى تتبدّى قطع خشبية لبنانية الموطن مطلية بأندر أصناف الباتشولي الأحمر الذي يكمن فيه سر التكوين و ما أوتي من عمق و جمال . و قد تلاحظ أيضا بعض الروائح الزهرية ، شجرة البتولا و نعومة المسك و لكن دون أن تكون لهم الغلبة بل دورهم في الخفاء خلف الكواليس . و أما الشعور السائد عند كل إرتداء ، أي و كأن المصمم أراد الجمع بين عطري سيلفر مونتن و كريد أفينتوس في توليفة واحدة مناسبة لجميع الأوقات و صالحة للإستعمال من كلا الجنسين . و لعله نجح في ذلك إلى أبعد حد ، فتارة تستشعر روائح معدنية مائية خضراء مؤطرة بشاي و حمضيات ؛ و تارة أخرى تجد نفسك محاطا باللمسة الأكثر تميزا لعطر أفينتوس و هو ذلك الإتفاق المبهج بين التفاح و الأناناس اللامع . كانت هذه خلاصة تجربتي مع هذه التحفة الشمية المسبوكة بحرفية عالية و التي تنمّ عن عبقرية ودهاء العطرجي ، دمتم في رعاية الله وحفظه ❤

2 years ago, I received this fragrance as a Christmas gift from my boyfriend (now husband). 6 months later, I got to know, he gifted me this as he loved to wear this scent by himself and since then we both do wear this scent to celebrate togetherness, date nights, romantic outings and even the casual grocery shopping together. Opening notes in this stunning beauty are fruity with pineapple, apple, bergamot and red currant while the heart consists of birch, cedar, cyproil oil, patchouli, benzoin, jasmine and tonka bean. The dry down is totally of musk, amber and oakmoss. The longevity is long lasting the silage is quite strong for this one. Personally, I feel this one to be perfect unisex scent and ok value for money. Also, this is suitable to be worn throughout the year due to fresh and fruity notes for summer and woody, musk and amber feel to winter. To me, this is mood changer, uplifter and a fresh yet deep scent that makes me feel confident and beautiful. Lovely!

It's a NO for me! The fruity pyramid opening, the target of the audience being "unisex," and the fact that I know V Canto fragrances to be out the whole box and gorgeous - had me wanting this bottle for quite some time...but after wearing/sampling this; I find it to be way too masculine for my taste. This simply doesn't belong in my personal collection. The fruits are there - and I do enjoy them...but they are encapsulated in an overall spicy, masculine scent profile - which I do not enjoy...on me. I can do unisex!! At times, I prefer the sucrose free-ness and lack of extra, totally unnecessary flowery-ness of some unisex fragrances. But here, I'm just pulling a totally, flat-out masculine cologne on my skin. Also, this irritates me. Something in here irritates my eyes. It almost reminds me of a nuance I used to smell in my Grandfather's Brut cologne...maybe the oakmoss as it is "Nowadays severely restricted under skin sensitization concerns...Fragrantica.com."

Amazing pineapple centered fragrance that possesses fruity, fresh, sweet accords along with the woody, earthy, leathery, smoky and amber making this perfect unisex scent. This is somewhat similar to Aventus but is fruitier and sweeter. Opening notes in this stunning fragrance are more of fruits like pineapple, apple, red currant and bergamot making it a bright scent overall followed by the heart which is loaded with the earthy and woody notes such as birch, cedar, benzoin, patchouli, jasmine and my all time favorite tonka bean. Dry down for this is amazing and sexy too with that of musk, oakmoss and amber. As far as performance is considered, this one has superb longevity and silage and is surely a summer and spring scent due to fresh and fruity notes but may also be used perfectly well in winter and autumn due to earthy and woody notes. Be sure to get compliments once you wear it. Simply a 1010 perfume for all seasons and both sexes. Love it!

This perfume is unisex but leans a bit masculine. It’s a perfect date night fragrance. Juicy, spicy, fruity, woody. There’s sth elegant and sensual about the cedar wood, apple bergamot, pineapple and patchouli. At least these are the only notes I can identify. . Overall the perfume has a luster appeal. It is nicely blended and I rate it so high (7) in my collection. The fruits are earthy yet slightly resinous for me. It smells expensive after 10 minutes of wearing it. The amber shows up soothing the perfume and preventing it from being too earthy while hints of bergamot keeps it fresh. I like it a lot but it will be best if I smell it on a man.

Very much in Terenzi's DNA profile - I am beginning to think he has a proprietary amber that goes in to every one of his fragrances...there is such a similarity. And I like it! It is a bit like a fruity-pinappley TT. It is only the slightest bit similar to Aventus - it is lacking the Creed tang or Ganymede thickness. It wearable. Very long lasting. It conjures up the desire to wear this to Hawaiian luau...It is light and fruit forward enough to suit the vibe but ambery enough to be alluring. No shame in wearing Arsenico, a bikini top and floral tie skirt.
