Chris Collins Vide Cor Meum is a resinous, smoky unisex scent that carries the freshness of bergamot and thyme through rose absolute, cedar and frankincense into the sweet warmth of Siam benzoin, amber and vanilla.

What does Vide Cor Meum smell like?

It opens with bergamot and thyme giving a lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, cedar and frankincense build a woody, smoky body while rose absolute adds a soft floral touch. As it dries, Siam benzoin, amber and vanilla bring the sweetness forward, with the resinous feel still present.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen for leisure, evenings and nights out. Voters split between feminine and masculine, so it reads as truly unisex. Filippo Sorcinelli Santa Casa and Giardini di Toscana Christos have a close profile.
