Arkano Degli Amanti

Arkano Degli Amanti is a rich floral from the Italian house V Canto, composed by Paolo Terenzi and released in 2024, worn by anyone. Floral is the word everyone uses; about half also find it woody, a third citrusy, and a minority mention green, musky and amber shades.

Sicilian orange opens it with sweet, sunny zest, and raspberry adds a tart fruit note. The heart is lavish: jasmine sambac and jasmine for heady white-flower richness, rose for softness, violet for a cool, powdery touch and ylang-ylang for a creamy, slightly banana-like warmth, with saffron adding a dry, leathery spice. The base is deep and smooth: agarwood (oud) and Australian sandalwood for wood, oakmoss for earthy depth, and ambergris with musk for a warm, salty, skin-like finish.

A fragrance this full suits evenings and cooler weather, and someone who enjoys opulent floral orientals with real wood and oud beneath the flowers rather than a light, fresh floral.
