An Oriental Rose Fragrance
Wow! This would actually be my 800th review on Parfumo! Now I'm looking at "Diapason | Sospiro." With rose fragrances, anything can happen, from good to terrible, but to my surprise, I am very pleased here. Additionally, the longevity on my skin is strong at around 12 hours, and the sillage is also quite convincing.

The top note starts off very floral and intense thanks to Bulgarian rose and rose geranium. In the heart note, rose water dominates, accompanied by a pronounced woodiness. The base has an oriental scent but continues to be woody with oud, cedarwood, and rosewood.

Diapason is a rose fragrance that a man can really wear well - my female colleague found it really beautiful. I thank Will for the manufacturer sample.

One of the Best Rose Ouds?
I acquired this fragrance in search of a dry rose oud without much fuss.
It should be potent yet unobtrusive.
I went through various scents, stumbling upon Initio Oud for Greatness and other renowned oud fragrances.
However, these were too extravagant and already too popular for my taste.

Until I came across Diapason.
I looked at the fragrance notes, purchased it in the souk, and was immediately satisfied with the first sniff.

It starts with a slight animalic note, an opulent rose, and a colorful blend of spices that feels piercing.
However, this dissipates quite quickly, leading to a cozy development of the fragrance's progression. As it evolves, the rose softens, and the scent becomes woody and spicy with a subordinate but still noticeable rose note.

Longevity is extremely good; it can be perceived for over 12 hours, while the sillage is not overwhelming.

I would use this fragrance more in everyday life; it can be worn in any situation. However, in summer, the scent can develop into a suffocating or piercing direction, which is why I would prefer it for the colder days.

Basically, it’s a solid woody scent with a good progression that in no way feels synthetic and doesn’t overwhelm anyone.
A rose oud for the Western world, at a good price.

Cristal-clear, crispy and not that loud fragrance. Stays the whole day with you and gives you a nice feeling of having a very special secret

This would be something for General Director Hafferloher, a provincial industrialist from Kleinweilersdorf, aka Mario Adorf in Kir Royal. Powerful puff rose.

Gloomy rose orgy: animalistically enhanced with musk, solidly grounded with wood: a play between innocence and naughtiness.

A statement of wood and dark purple roses. Powerful, potent wood merges into an animalistic-magical elixir. A force!

The combination of dark rose and bitter-resinous woods feels almost like patch at first. It just gets a bit sweeter over time. Nice!

Dreamy scent. Oud in its finest form - warm, dark, spicy, and a bit smoky. The wonderful dark rose makes it not at all fecal.

Oud-like, also smoky-sweet woods, powdery-bitter geranium-vetiver mix. Spicy. Musk-cashmeran on shimmering cedar.

I feel like I'm in the spa area of a luxury hotel - a great woody scent, strong but not overpowering. Oud vibes for every day!

Powerfully alluring!
Dark, resinous guaiac wood
harmonizes with a floral, dark rose,
elegantly rounded with creamy musk,
sweetly enticing base.
