USAGE GUIDE
The Right Way To Apply Perfume: Spray on key pulse points like your neck, wrists, and behind your ears. For close moments, use warmer spots like your collarbone, chest, or inner arms. To leave a scent trail, spray behind your neck so it follows as you move. For stronger reach, spray both on skin and lightly on clothes. Also, don’t rub your wrists after spraying — it changes the scent. Let it settle on your skin instead. Also, because our perfumes are strong, let the scents settle. The heart and base notes are what stay with you.
An Invitation To Blend/Layer: Blending or layering is an optional art — not needed with Viva Scenta perfumes, but still possible for advanced users who want to build a personal signature. Don’t layer too much though — each scent is made to stand on its own.
Extended Usage With Viva Scenta Super Spray™: Each 50ml bottle gives 325 sprays & lasts 65 days (5 sprays/use) or 100+ days when used 50/50 with our Super Spray™ (about 3 sprays each).

“They laughed at this “green” perfume called Cunoor, but when I sprayed it…!”
Cunoor was created as an answer to the question: What if a scent could be soft, spicy, and smoky — the kind that feels like you, makes you stand out, and makes people remember you by your scent?
Cunoor is Earthy. Floral. Green. Nutmeg & Bergamot open with a confident lift. Geranium & Clary Sage keep it fresh. Amber & Musk lock it in.
Cunoor is Mesmerizing. Luxurious. Warm. It doesn’t blend in. It defines you. Unique, unmistakable, and unforgettable, it’s the scent they’ll connect you with.

Read This Before Buying — Cunoor Beats 15 Key Scent Tests To Earn Its Place
TOP NOTES:
NUTMEG, BERGAMOT
FIRST IMPRESSION
8.5 → DISTINCTIVE WARMTH
(The first 5–15 seconds after application; judged by emotional clarity, uniqueness, and recall.)
Cunoor opens with Nutmeg and Bergamot — warm, earthy, and subtly spiced. The first spray feels unique, less flashy but quietly magnetic.
IMPACT
7.5 → MUTED ENTRY
(How strong and immediate the scent feels in the first 30 seconds.)
The earthy-green character doesn’t hit as loud in the first 30 seconds, giving a softer projection that unfolds more gradually than some testers expected.
USER RATING
8 → MEMORABLE ORIGINALITY
(Testers rate the immediate “wow” factor or memorability of the opening on a scale of 1–10.)
Users described the opening as “different” and “luxurious,” praising its uniqueness even if the first blast wasn’t overpowering.
VOLATILITY CURVE
8.5 → STEADY EVOLUTION
(How fast and intensely each top note evaporates, measured via Gas Chromatography + Olfactometry.)
Gas Chromatography showed Nutmeg holding firm for 20–25 minutes, while Bergamot softened earlier. This creates a layered transition into Geranium and Clary Sage without rushing.
PERCEIVED SIGNATURE SCORE
9 → UNMISTAKABLY UNIQUE
(How distinctive and memorable a fragrance smells within 5–15 seconds of application.)
Within seconds, testers flagged Cunoor as the standout — earthy, floral, and green in a way that felt instantly tied to personal identity.
MIDDLE NOTES:
GERANIUM, CLARY SAGE
PROJECTION
8.5 → STEADY REACH
(How far the fragrance radiates from the skin; typically measured in feet or arms-length.)
Cunoor projects within 3–5 feet in its mid-phase — noticeable enough to be remembered, but not overpowering.
BLOOM
9 → DISTINCTIVE LIFT
(How the fragrance evolves as it warms on skin after initial application.)
As it warms, Geranium and Clary Sage rise with a crisp green edge, giving Cunoor an unmistakable freshness.
SMOOTHNESS
7.5 → SLIGHTLY TEXTURED
(How seamlessly the middle notes blend and balance without harsh transitions.)
The green character creates a mid that’s complex but not always seamless — testers described it as vivid, with a little roughness to the blend.
DEPTH
8.5 → EARTHY COMPLEXITY
(The dimensional richness and complexity of the fragrance during the mid phase.)
Amber and Musk settle beneath the herbs, adding warmth and dimension that deepen over time.
NOTE TRANSITION CLARITY
8 → NOTICEABLE SHIFT
(How clearly each layer shifts without becoming muddy or confusing.)
The move from spicy-warm Nutmeg/Bergamot into herbal-green mids was clear, with testers describing it as a distinctive change in character.
BASE NOTES:
AMBER, MUSK
LONGEVITY
9 → EXTENDED PRESENCE
(How long the scent remains detectable on skin and clothing.)
Cunoor endures beyond 8 hours, with Amber and Musk grounding its earthy-green character into a memorable, long-lasting base.
SILLAGE & DRYDOWN
8 → EARTHY VEIL
(Base note retention or olfactory tail: how far the scent diffuses during the drydown, and how it evolves in the final hours.)
In the drydown, Amber’s warmth mixes with Musk to form a textured, grounded halo. The trail is subtle but carries a natural richness.
TIME-RESOLVED OLFACTOMETRY
8.5 → LAYERED PROGRESSION
(Tracks how the scent structure changes over time using measured scent release curves.)
GC-O tests showed steady evolution — from Nutmeg and Bergamot into herbal mids, then into a warm Amber-Musk close. Testers praised its dimensional depth.
VOLATILITY PROFILE
7 → DENSE RELEASE
(Analytical measure of how quickly base notes evaporate and disperse.)
The earthy base clings close to the skin; Musk diffuses slowly while Amber deepens over time. Cunoor’s density makes it intimate rather than airy.
AROMA PERSISTENCE INDEX
9 → STANDOUT MEMORY
(Composite of longevity, drydown character, and end-stage memory.)
Hours later, Cunoor left a distinctive earthy-floral trace on clothes and skin — consistently recognized as unique and individual.

✦ CUNOOR ✦
The Art of Fine Fragrance: Cunoor
Traditional Roots. Precise Craft. Lasting Impact.
Nutmeg sparks the opening
Cunoor begins with nutmeg — warm, spiced, and slightly sweet. It sets a distinctive tone from the first spray.
Bergamot brightens the start
Fresh Bergamot cuts through with citrus clarity. It sharpens the warmth of nutmeg, giving the opening a clean edge.
Geranium colours the heart
Green and floral, Geranium rises in the mid. It brings brightness and a touch of vibrancy, making the scent feel alive.
Clary Sage refines the core
Clary Sage adds a herbal thread — steady, sharp, and composed. It balances the florals with focus and clarity.
Amber adds warmth
As the scent deepens, amber glows. It smooths the herbal notes with warmth and a subtle richness.
Musk leaves the mark
Sandalwood adds a creamy finish. It ties everything together — warm, smooth, and built to last all day.
Even science agrees with us!!
8 Proven, Science-Backed Reasons to Choose a Fine Fragrance Like Cunoor

REASON #1 of 8
Nutmeg supports memory, mood, and calm focus¹
