Inspired by the beauty and emotion of an operatic aria, Vide Cor Meum by Chris Collins takes its name from the Latin phrase meaning "See My Heart." The fragrance opens with sparkling bergamot and aromatic thyme, creating a fresh, herbaceous introduction that leads into a captivating floral heart. Luxurious rose absolute takes center stage, surrounded by smoky incense and dry cedarwood, adding a mysterious depth to the timeless elegance of rose.
As the fragrance develops, rich Siam benzoin and creamy vanilla introduce a smooth, resinous sweetness, while woody amber adds warmth and sophistication to the finish. The contrast between delicate florals, aromatic herbs, and sensual resins creates a beautifully layered composition that feels both intimate and refined. Romantic and quietly seductive, Vide Cor Meum leaves a lasting impression of warmth, elegance, and mystery.
