In my opinion, Sospiro is a very underrated fragrance house (other than Vibrato which gets the attention it is due) and this is one of the most under-appreciated scents they have.
Bottle (9/10) as I’ve said in other reviews, I initially disliked the velvet, but now I find the presentation to be very unique and luxurious. Also the light blue color design is perfect for describing what is inside.
Scent (9/10) an outstanding mixture of fruity notes that blend well with some faint amber/vanilla depth. The Xerjoff version, Erba Pura, is much more screechy and aggressive whereas this is refined but still strong enough to be smelled. It is a great spring/summer scent but has enough depth that it can work even in warm winter days without feeling weird. It is somewhat feminine though, so it may not be for some men as a result.
Performance (7.5/10) day long longevity with a decent projection that isn’t too much. I find this combo to be perfect.
As soon as I smelled this in a decant, I knew I needed a full bottle. Highly recommend!
