Virgilio

About

Virgilio wears like dry green spice, with basil and caraway setting a clear, focused tone from the start. It settles into a woody depth of vetiver and cedar while staying herbal and restrained. A calm, confident accent for cooler days.

Virgilio opens with dry green basil carrying a spicy, almost anise-like shade that sets a strict tone from the first seconds. In the heart, caraway adds warm spice while woodsy notes shape a rough, focused structure. As it dries down, the scent becomes drier and darker: vetiver brings an earthy edge and cedar keeps a clear woody frame. The profile stays herbal, spicy-woody, and highly distinctive, with no sweetness or soft decoration. Projection is moderate, closer to personal space, yet clearly outlined. Virgilio suits wearers who enjoy dry green fragrances with character. It feels especially right in cool weather, work settings, and moments that call for a composed, intellectual mood.
