Chic Roman
Since I already liked Valentino Donna very much, I had to test the new release at least once. I liked him right in his summer playfulness. It is carefree and fruity, the fruity top note remains for a long time and does not lose any of its freshness, as it is accompanied by bergamot. However, I cannot identify the fragrance as cassis, it has a rather synthetic fruity effect; the cashmere might be to blame for this. Jasmine rounds the whole thing off mildly, but together with the vanilla and the guaiac wood it keeps rather in the background.
The pleasant modern summer scent of a lively young Italian woman. Only the durability leaves something to be desired, because within 1 1/2 hours it is hardly noticeable anymore.

Pronounced Asexual
Smells like none of the Ménages à trois I've ever had... Because of the name, I would have expected an obscene animalic, heavy scent that would take some time to get used to, but a complete failure.
The fragrance is mildly woody, but always rather masculine, primarily smelling of warm cashmere wood, synthetic musk components and a hint of sandalwood. I don't smell anything at all of the fruit or melon scent that some people describe here. But that's by far not a bad thing! The fragrance is long-lasting and blends well with one's own body odor (I have tested it on the arm, neck and body, and in the armpit), creating a pleasantly warm, unobtrusive sillage.
In my opinion, it is a charming, but everyday men's fragrance that makes you feel likeable.

Furious scent - indeed
"Irae is the only fragrance I've been able to test from V Canto so far, and it lives up to its name. Irae does not only mean "of anger", but also smells like this.
Acid notes of bergamot and a hint of bitter cocoa, similar to a 90% chocolate, in the top note directly followed by a whipping sharp heart of pepper, which - reinforced by unfamiliar tart coriander and artemisia - the earthy base notes of rosewood and oak can not stop.
A stern scent like a fight with uncertain outcome.
The scent is pure, bitter sharpness and does not feel unisex for me at all. Maybe one of the gentlemen can tame this fragrance for himself and make it wearable!

New and hip?
The young addition of the constantly growing family of Zarkomolecule fragrances has of course directly attracted my attention, as the older siblings were already so extremely well received and promise individuality despite unisex.
Allegedly the Purple Molecule is supposed to be very clean and yet multi-faceted. Pitahaya, Madagascar vanilla and sandalwood play the leading role according to the manufacturer, a tropical-fruity fragrance (and finally something without citric or coconut notes).
I'm afraid I'm in the dark. The first spray was already strange, I could smell the dragon fruit, but otherwise it was rather dull. Since the molecule scents come naturally only on the skin correctly to the Geltung, however, I have him nevertheless times "tried on". The scent is very mild, compared to the other Zarko Molecules the Sillage is also very reserved and it can - fortunately - easily be showered.
The fragrance itself is fruity and lies somewhere between the Trident chewing gums with dragonfruit flavour and the deodorant mish-mash one knows from the girls' dressing room after physical education...

Strong Zarko
Synthetic fragrance without any synthetic notes. Extremely long lasting Sillage without obtrusiveness. Pink, but not at all teeny.
Pink Molecule is an absolute scent paradox. Black orchid and elder dominate and are present throughout the day (or days!) and cling to you like your own shadow. And also his only "shortcoming" is exactly that; you can't get rid of him anymore. Even after washing the laundry and showering the body thoroughly, the scent is still weakly recognizable. So whoever wears it must stand resolutely to the fragrance.
Otherwise the fragrance is an all-rounder, because it is not falsified by sweat and is still in top condition even after the hardest training. It can be easily combined with other fragrances (e.g. jasmine oil for an oriental-floral touch or warm fruity chords of orange peels or figs) and can be layered perfectly.
