Farsa

This could easily be a serge lutens. People are susceptible to the influencers, but this has not really been pushed. Being a sospiro, judging by what people think this smells like, and the "people who like this also like" yells you all you need to know about who is reviewing this. First spray im getting the powdery cacao mixed with some aeromachemical oud accord, Saffron, cedar, very subtle ambergris. For the same price as the others, you get 25% less. Its obvious they put a little higher quality stuff into this, but that doesn't say much since they blast the aeromachemicals into most of their products. People love Creed Royal Oud and that makes people think oud should smell like cedar. It doesn't. Not even close. Louis Vuitton is probably the most overhyped and under delivering brand of fragrances I've ever experienced. It could be similar to Ombre Nomade, but it's been a while since I've smelled it, so I would have to revisit, but to my memory this could be in the same vain. Initio is straight trash IMO. Im not trying to dog you if you like that stuff, but it's not for me at all. Overpriced aeromachemicals. This is nice, Im glad I have it. It's masculine and dark and very slightly sweet. Im thinking this is the modern 30yo+ fragrance. A sweeter version of Acqua Di Parma Zefferano. I dig Zefferano from. Im gonna add Zefferano because that's the closest think I think it smells like. Good stuff. Scent 7.5/10 worth having for sure Price 7/10 for the price it's a good fragrance. I got it for 120 for 75ml, so it would be 160 for 100ml. Zefferano was 110 for 100ml. Projection 7/10 it projects well. Good for summer and fall. I prefer green freshies for spring. Not loud enough for winter. Longevity 7.5/10 will be a skin scent after 4 hours The more I smell this, the more I like it. Happy with this. *review based on a full presentation 75ml*

I have recently bought Farsa whilst looking for a scent that is suited for colder weather. When the sales associate recommended me this fragrance, Me and my girlfriend were instantly hooked. The notes play sooo well and harmoniously with one another: Rum, spiced up with rich saffron at the top, is softened up by a chocolatey nuance coming from the patchouli in the heart, ultimately meets a deep, mysterious ambery and woody base. Such a wonderful combination. It also definitely has a masculine edge in my opinion, because of the earthy patchouli, cedar and oud. The longevity and projection are also pretty great. Overall, I have really liked what Sospiro has done with this fragrance. And although it shares some similarities with Initio's Side Effect in terms of the rum and the saffron opening, I believe it's its own thing and unique. In my eyes, it is a lot more sophisticated, calmer, and more refined than Side Effect. The cocoa nuance with boozy rum and deep ambery woods in the base are my favorite moments of the fragrance. I also think it can pull many compliments, however, I have yet to try this fragrance in public. I would highly recommend this to someone who's also searching for a unique, ambery and lightly sweet cool weather scent that is not well-known. (at least not yet)

OMG I found my new favorite frag. I have a lot of Sospiro bottles; this one is my favorite. This stuff is evil, dark, mysterious, seductive, complex, masculine, with a light smoke, boozy, and of very high quality. I am in love, and this rarely ever happens. UPDATE: if you want this exact same profile for 46$ buy Favourite Black Hemel Paris I have been trying to figure out why I liked the Hemel so much and now I know why. Save your money, buy the Hemel

Currently exploring the Sospiro house and this was a blind buy. I bought Farsa as well as Viola full presentation. It's a strong like, not a love. I like it for what it is and giving i am a 45 year old male, it is suiting for me. This is not a younguns fragrance in my opinion. Definitely for the older mature man who values his time, not buying into hypes, and confident. It is woody amber with a kiss of sweetness keeping it wearable. It is not a screamer, but quietly confident. Has a spot on my shelf for sure. If I had to give it a rating, a 7.5/10 would be a fair assessment. Its a quiet house without the influencer push, but the quality is there. I dont think it is great for winter per say as it is a bit quieter to my nose (to be fair I do have a cold currently) and definetely too rich for the summer. It is a tweener season fragrance and I definetely think October/November would be the best time of the year for this gem. I get Gris charnel vibes off this one.

Farsa has a very similar DNA to Initio Side Effect -- they share the same combination of rum and saffron, and they mimic each other's notes through creative substitutes -- Farsa's amber is akin to Side Effect's cinnamon; Farsa develops its woody scent profile through oud and cedarwood, where Side Effect uses sandalwood. Side Effect's opening is slightly more animalic, where Farsa's leans more woody. Side Effect in general outperforms Farase in projection and longevity, but Farsa is a good alternative if you like Side Effect but want to spend a little less.

It smells like a more mature, complex, aromatic, and less sweet niche version of the JP Gaultier Le Beau line, especially Paradise Garden. I like it. I get green, tropical and rum accords. I can smell the patchouli. Sebastian Jara, The Perfume Guy is going to like this one. It is interesting and pleasant. Definitely unisex. 8/10.

Very sweet bubblegummy amber with a noticeable rum and saffron in the opening. The cacao + patchouli is also present. Smells good, but I have no reason to buy as I created something similar to this during a perfume workshop a few months before this even released lol.

Boring!!! Damp old musky amber feels sour not pleasant an old sweaty sour boot in a wet forest a uninteresting spiced floral which doesn't work not sure what they were thinking releasing this nothing like side effect more like £20 bargin at tk max

it's like a more wearable, dialed down oud stallion to my nose. found the dry down of this scent kinda flat and boring tho. id def just go for oud stallion, but if you find that too strong this could be the one for u. 7/10
