Details on Sospiro Contralto

Contralto is a scent that stands tall and proud. It mixes sweet and spicy notes for a deep, energetic vibe. While it is inspired by the resilient spirit of a woman, its bold character suits anyone who loves confidence. You get a hazy mix of flowers and spices that settles into a warm, woody embrace. It invites you to be yourself and break the mold. This fragrance features spicy, floral, and woody notes.

How does Sospiro Contralto smell?

The scent opens with a kick of pink pepper and clove, softened by sweet orange blossom. As it settles, you smell an aromatic heart of smoky chestnut and juniper berries mixed with guaiac wood. The base is cozy and powdery, blending peru balsam with creamy vanilla and smooth cashmeran.

Definitely not Bal d’Afrique!

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!

Very summery and fresh, medium longevity/sillage

Fruity, sweet summer scent, clear mandarin note, well-balanced as Sospiro is known for, but for me, the mandarin is a bit too dominant throughout.

Summer dream

Extremely creamy, elegantly woody and with a beautiful, subtle vanilla and cashmeran sweetness. It smells incredibly clean, luxurious and warm at the same time. For me, it is absolutely unisex.
