This eau de parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2022.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.

Sospiro is an Italian niche house, the sister-line to Xerjoff, with a music-themed nomenclature and a warm, opulent Italian signature. The catalogue is unisex-forward (24 of 28) and splits across fresh (8), gourmand (7), fruity (4), woody (3), floral (2) plus leather and warm-amber flankers. Prices sit in serious niche territory, about $92 to $281, most core pieces near $190. Top accords are sweet, fruity, woody, spicy and floral. Standout live picks: Vibrato (bright grapefruit zest with ginger spice and soft floral woods, $199), Contralto (floral orange blossom with spiced chestnuts and creamy woods, $250.24), Basso (bright grapefruit gelato with green herbs and woody spice, $222.48), Il Padrino (spiced rum and berry cream, like amaretto, $184.56), Cavatina (ripe berry sorbet with soft floral powder, $157.32). A strong gateway to Xerjoff for value-conscious niche hunters.
