Lucrethia V Perfume

Details and Care

Lucrethia perfume was launched in 2016 by V Canto as part of its Red Collection. The perfume house of V Canto takes inspiration for all its scents from Canto V of Dante's "Inferno". The red collection is influenced by the intricate potions and poisons of the medieval era. Lucrethia celebrates Lucrecia Borga, who was infamous for her use of arcane potions to entice lovers and destroy enemies.

Lucrethia perfume opens with a faint whiff of citrus, delicate florals, pink pepper and the sweet and bitter scent of petitgrain. It pulls you into a heart of heady jasmine spiced with cloves and blended with coffee, cocoa and amber. The base is a hypnotic blend of exotic woods and sweet resins.
