Virtus, crafted by Bertrand Duchaufour and launched in 2019 by Navitus Parfums, is a warm spicy fragrance that weaves together rich honey, tobacco, and woody notes into an enveloping blend. The opening with nutmeg, cardamom, and saffron creates a complex aromatic blend that evolves into a heart of fig nectar, mango, and beeswax, adding layers of sweetness and depth. As the fragrance settles, it reveals a base of tobacco, ambergris, and musk, grounding the composition in earthy warmth.

Application Tips
Apply Virtus in light layers; the warm spices and tobacco notes can be quite potent. It develops best close to skin, making it ideal for intimate settings or evening wear where its complexity shines.
