Mea Culpa V Perfume by Canto, Hints of outdoor adventures flicker throughout mea culpa v, lending a powerful freshness to this balsamic, woody fragrance. It opens with the simple smells of incense and sand before dipping into the powerful sensation of patchouli that fills the heart. Flickers of birch and cedar dance throughout the middle notes before giving way to benzoin, vanilla and musk in the base.
