Amans

Amans by V Canto is a spicy, woody fragrance from 2015, created by Paolo Terenzi, that balances bright citrus with a sweet, warm base and lighter floral and herbal touches.

The top is lively: lemon and pink grapefruit give a sparkling, juicy citrus burst, and cardamom adds a cool, aromatic spice. In the heart, rosemary brings a herbal freshness and nutmeg a warm spiciness, with a light floral touch alongside. The base turns warmer and sweeter, with tonka bean adding an almond-and-vanilla smoothness and palisander rosewood and patchouli giving a soft, earthy depth.

Worn by anyone, it moves from fresh to cosy, so it suits a range of settings, from the office to evenings out. The citrus makes the opening feel at home in spring, while the spice and tonka give it warmth for autumn. It is a good fit for those who want a versatile scent that is neither purely fresh nor purely sweet.
