Mandarin power
As always top quality from Sospiro, but not for me as the mandarin note seems a bit too artificial.

LoginAs always top quality from Sospiro, but not for me as the mandarin note seems a bit too artificial.
I understand the comparison with "Bal d'Afrique (Eau de Parfum) | Byredo" here, but I am nevertheless of the opinion that the fragrance is more in the direction of "Al Rayhan | Attar Collection". Still, "Contralto | Sospiro" is a beautiful, independent scent. It starts off gourmand fresh and citrusy and transforms into creamy and floral. Longevity is not bad, but could be a bit better for the price. For me, it is a fruitier "Bal d'Afrique (Eau de Parfum) | Byredo" and a more floral "Al Rayhan | Attar Collection".
I have read very often that Contralto smells like Bal d’Afrique, 'only better / longer-lasting'. And I have to say, I don't find that at all. On the contrary, for me it doesn't smell nearly as smooth and creamy, and interestingly, Bal d’Afrique lasts significantly better on my skin!
