SOTD: Vide Cor Meum by Chris Collins

Good Morning, Brotherhood!

The day is already off to an eventful start. I had to drop my vehicle back off at the mechanic because the previous issue still wasn’t resolved, and then I was tasked with running our morning team meeting. But I digress… 😂

Today’s SOTD is one that captivated me years ago when I had a fragrance-of-the-month subscription. One sampling was enough—I knew eventually I needed the full bottle.

Vide Cor Meum — Chris Collins

Meaning “See My Heart,” the fragrance shares its name with the hauntingly beautiful aria composed by Patrick Cassidy and featured in Hannibal.

This fragrance is spicy, floral, slightly sweet, earthy, and beautifully resinous.

It opens green, citrusy and spicy, almost reminding me of a spiced mojito. From there, it transitions into a stupendous heart of rose, incense and woods. As those elements continue to linger, the fragrance gradually settles into a rich, resinous drydown with a smooth vanillic finish.

What I love most is the evolution. It effortlessly changes throughout the wear, giving you something new to experience and look forward to as the hours pass. That kind of journey is exactly what I appreciate in perfumery.

Performance:

Longevity: 9–10 hours on my skin

Projection: Very good without becoming obnoxious

Sillage: Hauntingly beautiful—fitting for the name

Final Score: 8.75/10

A beautiful, evolving composition that keeps revealing different facets of itself throughout the day.

Be a blessing today while smelling voracious! 🔥
