Chris Collins | Vide Cor Meum | Eau de Parfum Vide Cor Meum is a brilliantly dramatic, poetic masterpiece from the luxury house World of Chris Collins. Conceived as a grand, olfactory tribute to intense, classical romance and cinematic passion, the fragrance stands as a towering achievement in the sophisticated ambery-floral genre. It completely steers clear of basic, fleeting clean profiles or predictable, safe floral styles. Instead, it weaves a dense, multi-dimensional narrative that opens with a striking, radiant canopy of crisp bergamot and a highly sophisticated, warming blend of aromatic spices. It tells an olfactory story of deep, seductive power, shifting smoothly into a rich heart of velvety, dark Turkish rose and smoky incense before grounding itself on a deeply smooth, comforting base of sweet vanilla, resinous amber, and precious woods. Olfactory Pyramid: Top Notes: Bergamot, Aromatic Spices Heart Notes: Turkish Rose, Incense, Cedarwood Base Notes: Bourbon Vanilla, Benzoin, Labdanum, Amber, Musk Vibe: "The Operatic Shadow", intensely spicy-floral, richly resinous, darkly woody, and opulently smooth. Performance: Operating at a premium Eau de Parfum concentration, Vide Cor Meum delivers an exceptionally robust, long-lasting presence on the skin that easily sails through 10 to 12+ hours of wear. It opens with an expansive, highly diffusive flash of bright bergamot and warm, smoky rose that projects a commanding, magnetic aura well beyond handshake distance. As the fragrance reacts to natural body heat, the initial brightness deepens seamlessly, transitioning into a dense, velvety scent bubble driven by the exceptional texture of balsamic benzoin, rich amber, and a smooth vanilla baseline that clings stubbornly to fabrics for days.
