Vis by Maria Candida Gentile is a composition that balances the crispness of citrus with the depth of woody and marine notes. Launched in 2025, this fragrance opens with grapefruit and lemon, bringing an invigorating freshness to the forefront. The heart of fir resin and driftwood adds a rugged natural quality, while sea water and ambergris create a salty, oceanic backdrop. This interplay between fresh citrus and woody accords gives Vis its distinctive character.

Application Tips
Vis is best applied lightly — the citrus notes are bright but fleeting. The woody and marine base will carry through the day, making it suitable for both daytime and evening wear. Avoid heavy application in warmer weather to prevent the scent from becoming too intense.
