Pure elegance!

Where to begin with this extraordinary fragrance!
Quality, complexity, scent progression, longevity, I would give full marks for all of them!

In the top notes, there are supposed to be herbs, well, at least nothing spicy. A hint of oud, but of the delicate, non-medical kind, runs like a red thread through the scent, even though it is not listed.
The tobacco note here is also very subtle.

I find it to be extremely alluring and feminine. The fragrance pyramid resembles Laylati, with the difference that there is a hint of saffron and a very fine rose that is anything but overpowering. From the top note to the base note, complexity is emphasized here!
The Wardasina doesn’t scream, but is still very present.

I would describe the scent as the more elegant cousin of Duro, with a few drops of Saffron Troublant and the finest rose in the background.

I have now extensively tested the fragrance and am thrilled with its longevity! Sprayed in the morning and by the next evening, I could still clearly perceive the scent!
That is quite long, and while it is not a given in this price range, it is certainly to be expected!

For me, an absolute candidate for purchase, despite the strange velvet-covered bottle and the ridiculously high price! But it’s also about the inner values ;-)

I just spotted your comment! I’m not familiar with the brand or the scent, but it sounds really interesting. Duro for the lady ;-)

A very unusual scent, very complex with great development and projection. For someone like me who prefers softer fragrances, it's a bit much, but there's definitely something to it, no doubt. Thanks for the comment, and I’ll also leave a velvet trophy here :-)

The Sospiro fragrances are so rich, so delicate, so luxurious, and they really last for 2 days :)
