The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015, V by WIDIAN is a collaboration between perfumers Ali Aljaberi and Jean-Claude Astier. The fragrance opens with a vibrant citrus accord of lemon and orange blossom, which gives way to the rich warmth of caramel and cinnamon. At its heart, tuberose adds an elegant floral depth, while vanilla and cedar provide a warm, spicy base that lingers on the skin. V is neither overtly sweet nor overpoweringly woody; instead, it strikes a delicate balance between bright freshness and enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

Apply V to pulse points for an intimate presence that gradually unfolds. The caramel and cinnamon notes are most noticeable in the first hour, but the tuberose and vanilla base will persist throughout the day.
