Sospiro Anniversary

Oh man, this reminded me of a shisha (hookah) flavor I used to smoke with hookah. It's like.. well.. red berries (edible) + a cherried tonka bean + light tobacco & vanilla. It's not a heavy thick fragrance like Dior Homme Parfum or something. It's more 'flat' if that makes sense. Doesn't have a massive fullness to it that would make it overbearing in warm weather. That berry+tonka+vanilla aspect really stands out in the opening. Not bad! Later on I got a whiff of it and it reminded me of vetiver. Apparently there's no vetiver in this, not sure what caused that smell. Kind of like the drydown of Eau Sauvage Parfum or something. I like how it smells now better than I did after the opening. The opening is good, then it gets a little 'that's good, but not great' from ~10 mins - 2 hours after applying. Right now it's pretty pleasant. I could see this being a scent you wouldn't want to wear everyday, but every now and then.

Ohh man this is stunning. I had to opportunity to take advantage of a sale on this,and i jumped on it with joy. It's laylati but with some crisp almonds kinda like in tonka imperiale vibe very addicting.then the coconut ads this creamy vibe to the cedar and patchouli is there but not prominent .and that caramel note added ohh man it's to die for.i might be the only person in the usa to ever talk about this, I'm going to conserve and make it last. Pricy but was worth every penny.

To me, this smelled very similar to Herod, with the addition of red berries. Longevity was solid, sillage decent, projection was low.

quite possibly the ugliest bottle ever
