EDP · 2023 · unisex

V Canto is an Italian niche house founded in 2012 by Gianluca Gammarelli, who brings a background in perfumery and fine arts to his work. The brand focuses on conceptual fragrances that blend artistic vision with technical precision, drawing inspiration from historical and cultural references.

Giullare opens with seaweed and bergamot over bourbon vanilla and coffee, creating an unusual sweet-salty marine effect. The heart expands into a salty, herbal composition anchored by atlas cedar, thyme, and rosemary, with ylang-ylang and peach adding softness and floral dimension. The base is dense and creamy, layering musk, patchouli, and cedarwood with caramel sweetness, myrrh, and ambergris, while a hint of pineapple provides unexpected brightness throughout the drydown.

The overall accord structure is woody-aromatic with gourmand undertones, balanced by marine saltiness that prevents it from becoming too sweet. This makes Giullare suitable for those who appreciate complex, slightly unconventional fragrances that blend gourmand comfort with earthy depth. It works year-round, though the salty-marine elements shine in warmer months. The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Reverie will recognize themselves here.

Fragrance Notescommunity verified
Top · 0–30 min
Seaweed
Seaweed
Oceanic, slightly salty, and faintly iodine-like, seaweed adds a genuine marine quality that differs from the abstract ozonic 'freshness' of most aquatic notes. It smells of rockpools and tidal pools: organic, alive, and slightly primal. Used to add authenticity to aquatic compositions that want real sea air rather than a metaphor.
Bourbon Vanilla
Bourbon Vanilla
Named after the Bourbon Islands (now Reunion), Bourbon vanilla is one of the world's most prized vanilla varieties with a rich, creamy, slightly smoky, and exceptionally complex character. It has greater depth and less simple sweetness than Tahitian varieties, making it the preferred choice for serious perfumery work.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Coffee
Coffee
Bitter, roasty, and slightly smoky with a warm, stimulating energy, coffee in perfumery reads as sophisticated rather than caffeinated. It adds depth to oriental and woody fragrances, and its slight bitterness stops adjacent sweet notes from becoming cloying. A note that perfumers love for its ability to make everything smell more complex.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Salt
Salt
Thyme
Thyme
Herbal, slightly medicinal, and earthy with a warm, honey-like underpinning that sets it apart from greener herbs like basil. Thyme adds a French countryside quality, rugged but refined. It's used to add character and specificity to herbal-woody compositions that might otherwise feel generic.
Atlas Cedar
Atlas Cedar
From the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and Algeria, Atlas cedar has a dry, pencil-shaving sharpness with a slightly smoky, resinous depth. More aromatic and peppery than Virginia cedar, with a cool, almost minty facet. A staple of classic masculine fragrances and the backbone of many chypre compositions.
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-Ylang
Rosemary
Rosemary
Herbal, camphorous, and slightly pine-like, rosemary is a Mediterranean herb with a clean, almost medicinal crispness. It adds freshness and a culinary familiarity to fragrances, grounding more abstract notes in something real. A pillar of classic fougère (fern) fragrances and modern herbal compositions.
Bulgarian Rose
Bulgarian Rose
The most prized rose in perfumery, grown in the Valley of Roses in Kazanlak, Bulgaria. Rosa damascena cultivated here produces an oil of extraordinary depth: honeyed, velvety, with faint hints of tea, honey, and spice. The standard against which all other rose materials are measured.
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Birch
Birch
Tarry, smoky, and distinctly medicinal, birch tar (used in classic leather fragrances) has an almost petroleum-like quality that creates unmistakable leather accords. Birch leaf, by contrast, is clean and green. Birch tar is not for the timid: it's the note that makes old-school Russian Leather fragrances smell like what they are.
Myrrh
Myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
Cedarwood
Cedarwood
Clean, dry, and pencil-shaving familiar, cedar brings structure without heaviness. Depending on the variety (Atlas, Virginia, Texas), it can range from slightly sweet and waxy to sharply aromatic. It's a workhorse base note that gives woody fragrances their spine, and it's universally flattering on skin.
Caramel
Caramel
Warm, buttery, and sweet with a slight bitterness from the cooking process, caramel is one of perfumery's most approachable gourmand notes. It adds a comforting, edible quality without going full dessert, and it softens and rounds other notes beautifully. A pillar of the Angel-inspired oriental-gourmand genre.
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
Pineapple
Pineapple
Vivid, tropical, and intensely sweet with a slightly fermented, almost winey quality, pineapple is one of the most assertive tropical fruit notes. It adds an immediate, unambiguous tropical sweetness that can dominate if used too heavily. In moderate amounts it adds a lively, summery energy to fruity and aquatic compositions.
