Ricina by V Canto is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance for women and men. Ricina was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Paolo Terenzi. Top notes are Bergamot, Peach, Orange Oil and Plum; middle notes are Peony, Orange Blossom, Jasmine and Iris; base notes are Oakmoss, Agarwood (Oud), Patchouli and Sandalwood. Ricinus, the castor oil plant, is a plant of extraordinary beauty which, like all the most beautiful things, conceals a hidden and fatal soul. This marvelous, ornamental plant, full of variegated colors and attractive fruits, capable of blooming the whole year round, was used by Lucrezia to decorate her gardens, that acted above all as secret refuges for its fearsome poison, masterfully hidden in the seeds of their attractive fruits. The fatal beauty of the plant was an inspiration for the secret plans of Lucrezia, who particularly loved this powerful poison because it left no way out for her victims.
