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.

The depth of the ocean?
This fragrance has no review? That pretty much sums up why it's so magical for me.

It flies completely under the radar, appears extremely rarely in the ticker and when I interact with my fragrance friends here, it is rarely known.
But is that because it is "redundant"?
In my opinion, absolutely not.
If you are active in this community, exchange ideas, send fragrance mail back and forth, you inevitably find yourself in the wonderful situation of always being able to test new fragrances of all kinds. However, this fragrance was not sent to me as an enclosure, somehow I became aware of it myself. I ordered a sample because, on the one hand, it sounded really exciting and, on the other, the Sospiro brand has often won me over. And now again.

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

The Deep Ocean Amber starts off extremely resinous and smoky, so I have to admit that I was a little put off when I first smelled it. My first thought was, uh, it smells pretty dark down there.
Sprayed on three times at 6:45 in the morning, the Deep Ocean Amber came on with a power that I didn't expect. Almost a little too powerful.
I like to smell good and unique, but I don't like to be overwhelmed.
I think to myself that 2 sprays might have been better. So I set off to work and after a 35-minute drive, I suddenly perceive the fragrance in a completely different way. Sure, it's still smoky and resinous, but it's much more rounded.
I no longer feel like I'm overwhelming my surroundings with this fragrance.
On the contrary, the more time passes, the more pleasant this fragrance becomes. After about 2 hours, the amber has asserted itself and you hardly notice the smoky note that bothered me at the beginning.
There is a feel-good factor that I have only felt in this form with a few fragrances. Fragrances often annoy me after a while, but not this one.

The dry down is the really magical thing about this fragrance. An invisible precedence that no longer screams but whispers, but is definitely noticed by everyone around you.
I have only felt a similar majestic precision before with Nefs or Enigma pour Homme Parfum. And anyone who knows these two fragrances will understand what I mean.

The longevity of Deep Ocean Amber is truly amazing. Applied in the morning, you can still smell this fragrance on yourself in the evening without any problems. Easily 8 to 12 hours.

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

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

I will never leave the deep sea again.

Amber-dominant and linear, but saved by a balsamic musky base. Lacks identity but performs well and remains pleasant.

Amber-violet open, with vibes of both Oud Satin & Angels' Share. Styrax prominent as it dries, bringing a woody-animalic tone. Leans masc.
