Traviata

Excited to be one of the first to try this. And how different it is! I haven't smelled anything like this before. Even though there is lavender in the opening, I do not get a fougere quality. Not even in the slightest. It's almost like a different category of fragrance. I'm having a hard time even putting it into words. It's very complex and very resinous, but the lavender creates a cooling effect that stays throughout its entirety. If you are bored with what is currently on the market like I am, this will get you thinking. I am almost frustrated I can't put this into words. It is like a symphony. It's going to take a few hours to really understand the complexity of this. Christian is a master. I will say this is not for everybody. This is no way near Mass market appealing. However, it is very interesting. It's not sweet, but it is dancing around an amber quality.

Dried fruits, fresh lavender slightly metallic and medicinal with soft spices, a tinge of green/citrus facets, cedar/amberwood base. You get a little bit of everything with this blend Fresh, fruity, floral, spicy, citrus, and woody. Each facet is distinct yet perfectly complimentary. Lavender is however front and center, everything revolves around it and enhances its beauty. Slight resemblance to Amethyst haze but much more complex and interesting here. Lovely blend, lavender on its own is overbearing to my nose but when it’s masterfully blended like this it surprisingly becomes so addictive and one of my favorite notes.

Omg! I didn’t expect this from the house, this is something new. Citrus lavender opening with a hint of green. Then the fruity notes settles it all in to a woody, amber and light patchouli dry down. What fascinated me is that the lavender and citrus stays on top even on the dry down. Another wonderful creation from sir Christian Provenzano.

Traviata is a masterpiece. Provenzano is a true artist. Complex, slightly powdery. Beautiful dry down, elegant and soft. My wife, mother in law and my son all love this frag on and me that says a lot.

Is this sad and melancholy, or is it me that is sad and melancholy?

This is 1:1 clone, 101% the same as Signature by Arabian Oud

The lavender exists in the opening pretty strongly but in the dry down I smell a lot more of a Nishane kind of DNA. It’s so sexy and warm (the woodiness comes through a lot more), and on my skin in feels perfectly unisex. I would disagree in that I feel like the red bottle represents it perfectly.

Starts pleasant, the dry down is boring, synthetic spicy. Top and middle notes last max 2 hours.

I agree with the review below, this is not a safe blind buy. Starts off pleasant enough but then the screechiness comes to the fore. So many Sospiro perfumes dry down like this, but there are a few that don't (the ones I own!). Reminds me of a classic men's designer fragrance.

The initial opening is a aromatic and citrus scent with some green undertones. 15 Min - Still getting the same scent at the initial spray, but the notes have blended nicely and the scent is more sophisticated. 30 Min - I am starting to pick up on the sweet fruity notes and also picking up some spiciness and florals. 60 Min - I continune to get more of the fruitiness and along with some woodiness. Dry Down: The dry down ot this fragraance is a woody aromatic scent wiuth undertones of sweetness and a light spiciness. Performance: Projection of this fragrance is OK with the frangrance creating a scent bubble of about 2 feet for over 2 hours. The sillage is also OK with a scent trail of about 2+ feet for over 2 hours as well. Longevity on my skin is OK with the fragrance lasting on my skin about 6 to 7 hours, and becoming a skin scent at about 3 hours. My rating on this fragrance is a 7 out of 10.

@ Endlessfumes is spot on. Wow, this is actually 1:1 to Signature by Arabian Oud lol. I’m guessing the same perfumer made both. Both seem like to have mid performance, so get whichever you can get a better deal on.

Do not blind buy this fragrance. The notes seemed lovely to me, but this is so extremely screechy on my skin it's revolting. Heavily metallic, no florals or sweetness whatsoever.

This is not Arabian oud at all. Check your noses, this is world's better and not even a similar dna

This to me smells similar to Tom Ford Oud Wood. It’s beautiful!!

Another fragrance brand that costs an arm and a leg.

They've been around a while, Fred.
