A splendid journey into the darkest abysses

Deep Ocean Amber is not a marine, but a splendid journey into the darkest abysses, with the depth and light salinity of ambergris blending with warm, sensual notes, among which ambrette seeds stand out. Slightly camphorated notes immerse the fragrance in a unique, dark and magnetic atmosphere, making it a fragrance that went beyond any idea I might have had when reading its name or the olfactory pyramid.
Well-balanced, intense, wonderful.
Like the legendary city of Atlantis underwater, shining despite the depths of the abyss.
If you love intense, original and enveloping fragrances, you will be enchanted.

Well, it's definitely not Xerjoff

I welcome the Sospiro brand to Parfumo after years of moderator tomfoolery with a review of their only 2023 release Deep Ocean Amber. Sospiro has another 3 releases coming next year that they teased at both Cannes TFWA and ScentXplore, so be on the look out (one of them is a cherry gourmand fragrance).

Impressions as I go through the wear, without looking at the notes: Warm spicy & floral right off the top. I think that is violet...? I naturally started to think it was a twist on Oud Satin Mood Eau de Parfum, sans the prominent sweetness. But then, I began to notice "Angels' Share | Kilian". At least in the air, the balsamic amber you have here is the exact same one used in "Angels' Share | Kilian", albeit it clearly lacks the prominent sweetness of both OSM & AS. In the deep drydown, the scent has a hint of cinnamon which further showcases vibes of the aforementioned Kilian. But there is something in the back here that smells dry-animalic-woody, I am guessing it's styrax.

After pyramid: I think amber is clearly the #1 accord here, so the benzoin & labdanum are prominent. The name feels like a double entendre, because the ambergris (listed as a base note) I'd say is not as evident. I did some of this testing indoors and some of it outdoors - what I'd say is that the amber here smells like "Angels' Share | Kilian" *indoors* with a hint of sweetness (but it's moderate, unlike AS & OSM) and outdoors, the amber smells more like those from Carner Barcelona.

Evolution: Aggregate scent is always led by the amber accord. Up-close it first smelled warm spicy & floral, perhaps mildly boozy (about 5 minutes into the wear). Then the styrax really kicks in at about 10-15 minutes and is noticeable for the rest of it as the initial elemi-amber combo dies down a bit, giving it a mild animalic flair.

Very hard to bring up comparables, but think Oud Satin on 0.5x strength + styrax or Angels' Share - sweetness + styrax. I'd say moderate-to-strong sillage for the first 2-3 hours and then the scent dies down, lasting around 9-10 hours. Overall, a bit too much styrax in the base which takes away from the "good, but not great" opening. €330/100ml doesn't capture my attention. I rate it a 6.0/10 - it's the epitome of average product.

Warm Sea Air

I have almost never encountered a fragrance that is so difficult to describe in terms of its scent. This is the case with "Deep Ocean Amber | Sospiro," even though the name is almost self-explanatory and one wouldn't think it could be so multifaceted and diverse.

The scent reminds me a bit of "40 Knots | Xerjoff," but has a much deeper composition. While 40 Knots smells to my nose like a breeze of sea air from the North Sea - spicy-salty cool - Deep Ocean Amber is more reminiscent of a breeze of sea air from the Mediterranean. Carried by the hot midday sun, it sweeps over resinous trees and spices from the neighboring villages, warming the skin.

Deep Ocean Amber starts off resinous dark and slightly smoky, reminiscent of incense. Gradually, the nuances that evoke a spicy wind appear; like spices carried by the wind over long distances, somewhat dissipating but never completely disappearing. Styrax and violet create slightly floral nuances that allow the wearer to dream away; to the sea, into the sun.
After a while, amber and benzoin open up with an incomparable warmth. The spicy wind is warmed and carried further by the hot sun. It penetrates directly to the heart and warms the spirit like the summer sun.

An incredibly wonderful, warm fragrance; multifaceted from smoky-spicy to floral and warming, it offers a lot. I wouldn't recommend blind buying it due to the resinous-smoky notes, but testing it is highly recommended.

The Depth of the Ocean?

This fragrance has no review? That pretty much describes why it is so magical for me.

It flies completely under the radar, appears extremely rarely in the ticker, and when I exchange thoughts with my fragrance friends here, it is rarely known.
But is it because it is "redundant"?
In my opinion, absolutely not.
If you are active in this community, exchanging ideas, sending fragrance samples back and forth, you inevitably find yourself in the lovely situation of being able to test new fragrances of all kinds repeatedly. However, this fragrance was not sent to me as an addition; somehow, I became aware of this scent on my own. I ordered a sample because it sounded totally intriguing, and on the other hand, the brand Sospiro has often convinced me. And so it does again now.

Starting with the extremely beautiful name of the fragrance and the black bottle, which looks simply great in my collection.

The Deep Ocean Amber initially starts off extremely resinous and smoky, and I must admit that I was a bit put off at first sniff. My first thought was, uh, it smells pretty dark down there.
At 6:45 AM, I sprayed it three times, and the Deep Ocean Amber came on with a power I did not expect. Almost a bit too powerful.
I like to smell good and unique, but I prefer not to be overwhelming.
I think 2 sprays might have been better. So, I make my way to work comfortably, and after about a 35-minute drive, I perceive the fragrance quite differently. Sure, it is still smoky and resinous, but it feels much rounder now.
I no longer feel like I am overwhelming my surroundings with this scent.
On the contrary, the longer time passes, the more pleasing this fragrance becomes. After about 2 hours, the amber has asserted itself, and you hardly notice that smoky note that bothered me at first.
A feeling of well-being spreads, which I have only experienced with a few fragrances in this form. Often, fragrances annoy me after a while, but not this one.

The dry down is the truly magical part of this fragrance. An invisible presence that no longer screams but whispers, yet is certainly perceived by everyone around you.
I have only felt a similar majestic presence before with Nefs or "Enigma pour Homme / Creation-E pour Homme (Parfum) | Roja Parfums." And those who know these two fragrances understand what I mean.

The longevity of the Deep Ocean Amber is truly astonishing. Applied in the morning, you can easily still perceive this fragrance on yourself in the evening. Easily 8 to 12 hours.

After a conversation in my boss's office, she later approached me again to tell me that this is the best fragrance I have worn so far.
And my boss is certainly accustomed to high-quality fragrances because of me.

I am firmly convinced that this fragrance will soon find great acclaim in the community. Although I wouldn't mind if it stayed just as it is now. ↔
Anyone looking for a secret weapon away from the mainstream will not be disappointed here.

I will never leave the deep sea again.
