Last Canto
by IDEO Parfumeurs
Last Canto is a softly sensual, powdery gourmand fragrance with a restrained yet intriguing twist. Its opening carries a subtle note of cumin—unexpectedly faint and animalic in a flirty, human way—adding character without heaviness. The core is a soft, warm almondy powder accented by heliotrope, iris, and a hint of floral-frangipani, creating a clean yet inviting elegance. Vanilla and tonka bean provide a plush, balsamic sweetness that feels natural, not candy-like, while white woods and musk lend delicacy and depth. The overall effect is comforting and slightly retro, with a modern powdery flair—more runway than nursery, though still softly approachable.
Pros
- +Last Canto has exceptional longevity, with many users noting near 8 hours of wear without overbearing sillage.
- +The scent is pleasingly balanced—sweet, powdery, and slightly spicy—without overwhelming or becoming cloying.
- +It’s highly versatile, suitable for day or night, autumn and spring, and offers a sophisticated yet accessible character.
Cons
- −The cumin note, while subtle and well-blended, may be noticeable or even uncomfortable for those sensitive to spicy, animalic notes.
- −The sillage, while moderate to strong, may not carry far enough for those seeking a powerful presence.
- −Some may find the extremely powdery and sweet base less original if they've experienced very similar scents before.
