Sebastian, ever since I discovered you on TH-cam, I have spent SO MUCH money on perfume! I’ve always loved fragrances, but currently would qualify as a perfume addict. I’m waiting to receive my Sospiro order of Dolce Melodia, Pasticcio, Bel Canto, and Erba Pura Magica. Thanks again for all of your videos and perfume introductions.
Please bring him back,you two have this phenomenal chemistry that is beyond captivating plus not to mention the incredible insights from both of you two.
Great review. I got a decant of Erba Oud and the opening is beautifully animalic like I wanted and love. But the Oud is completely gone from my skin after one hour and I’m left with a super realistic juicy orange. Almost like Orange Sanguine, but it lasts forever and I actually really like it for the summer.
Very interesting. I bought atomizers from Maxaroma and ended up buying full bottles of Opera Grande and Contralto. I have also just placed an order for Accento Viola and Afgano Puro. I’m a big fan of Christian Provenzano and a lot of these fragrances smell similar to fragrances he made for Boadicea the Victorious.
Sebastian - absolutely loved your guest speaker, Joe! He is bright and knows his stuff - you both complement each other with your knowledge of the fragrance world. He’s giving me major Top Gun Goose vibes as well 😍 As always, keep doing the wonderful work you do. You are a great source for me to vett something I may be interested in before buying a FB. Hubby loves his Vibrato; I’ll wear it by spraying in the air and walking through it. Leans more masculine but I love the freshness of it in my hair. Looking forward to trying Dolce Melodía and Basso which seem a bit more feminine friendly….although all of these do seem to be beast mode
Just bought dolce melodia and absolutely love LOVE it. I usually go for the citrus and fresh vibes…but wanted something sweeter for a change and wow…they got the combination right. Not too Vanillic…it’s delicious. Love your site btw…😊
Thank you for your great review. I really enjoy the review done with Joe. I have Dolce Melodie and loving it. I am very interested in Vibrato, but little concerned about reviews pointing out more masculine scent. Do you recommend it for a feminine woman?
I'm curious about Afgano Puro and Dolce Melodia, if I want a fragrance similar to Tygar I will definitely go to Arrakis, I'm not willing to spend that much in a freshie. Thank you guys!!!
🧡💜❤️ Vibrato is outstanding in every way. It’s not only a beautiful smelling masterpiece but the longevity goes on in excess of 12 hours, if sprayed on clothes. You certainly get your money’s worth. A brilliant fragrance. ❤️💜🧡
i tried afgano puro , its very heavy and for me its good for 30+yr men . first you will smell oudy+ afagano smell but when it settle down its beautiful
For me Afgano Puro is really powdery take on the theme of "Black Afgano". Where Black Afgano is more "airy" Afgano Puro is really sickly sticky powdery, baby powder mixed with some tobacco flowers and musk. Did not enjoy it one bit!
Sergio Momo and his endless shenanigans 😅 Sospiro fragrance are still under Xerjoff umbrella, like they always were. They are distributed by the same people , staff/merchandisers are instructed to position Sospiro bottles exactly the same way they always were , right next to Xerjoff in all European niche boutiques . Not his first ride , since he's done this not ones, but multiple times with all Sospiro , Casamorati and Kemi lines ... in and out every other year ... the latest move was discontinuing the Kemi line , and officially , and immediately bringing it back as Xerjoff in new bottles 😅 A lot of brands are doing the same thing , some for marketing , some for tax evading reasons , or both. It's a bit of Chris Maurice and Christian Carbonnel type of shenanigan ... Coincidence or not my SOTD is Tony Iommi Monkey Special
When I search for Sospiro Dolce Melodia, I always get two different color bottles. One is the orange here and another is mostly white. They also have different notes but I can’t figure out how they are same name but different bottles. Same style mostly. I feel like I’m missing something, have you come across them as well?
I think the other is a limited edition that's on clearance but I have only smelled it off the orange bottle. The white bottle might also be before the brand of another parent company owned it. The brand separated from the other company and is part of the current parent company so the fragrance could smell completely different. My thoughts.
@@ThePerfumeGuy oh they definitely both say Sospiro but they also have very different notes. Now I’m confused as to which one I got as a bonus sample decant in an order I received 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ I’m not the best at deciphering certain notes but maybe I can figure it out since they aren’t too similar. Thanks so much for responding!
Hi Sebastian. I think I recall that there is a fragrance that you like that has a bubble gum accord. You were very happy about it, but I don't remember what it was. Ring a bell?
@@ThePerfumeGuy I just ordered a sample. I trust your nose! “An addictive elixir that unwraps to reveal a seductive and balanced blend of warm, spicy, sweet, and musky accords. This olfactory gem opens to precious notes of intense Ambrette and spicy Elemi adorned with the playful finesse of dewy Violet and rich Styrax, and the smooth & powerful base notes of Benzoin, Labdanum, and Ambergris.”
Cheryl there are many niche and designer brands who have hair mist sprays to layer with your fragrance. For example MFK has BR540 hair mist to go with the BR540 EDP an extrait. Some brands also have for their more popular fragrances hand creams, body creams/silk, body lotion to also layer and really get all day performance, also have laundry detergent
Do you know where I can get some vintage Versace Versus Uomo for men 1991,. well kept ? It was discontinued, I think in about 2000...and I'm skeptical about sellers !!!
I believe the bottles hold more than 100 mL so they might not fill them up all the way. I’ve noticed this the other day when I opened up boxes of another brand can’t remember now.
Is there a reason behind why several sospiro fragrances have identical names to some xerjoff fragrances and almost the same look like colour of bottle cap and so on. Erba Gold is one example… Anybody knows?
I don’t really know the true story, but there was a falling out. They used to be part of XERJOFF , but they are no longer but honestly I don’t know what the reason is it’s just that some of the fragrances are under both brands..
Thank You for sharing that! It makes sense. I have never seen any information about it but it is staggering how similar some of their fragrances are, and sometimes even identical. But then at least there is an explanation. When I first saw Sospiro I thought they were some kind of a Xerjoff dupe brand…😅 But now I know then thanks to you that they actually were a part of Xerjoff! Problem solved! Peace of mind restored… 😇
I thoroughly enjoyed this video !!!! Bring Joe back. This was so much fun for me to watch two VERY handsome men analyzing fragrances. Great job gentlemen! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@souless9442 No, they are not. For years, Sospiro was a sub-brand of Xerjoff, launched by the same founder, Sergio Momo. Then there was recently a legal fallout and the brand split out onto its own. They share the same formula rights e.g. Erba Pura... Which is why Sospiro can use the name Erba Pura xyz and can revamp the formulation.
Erba Oud I believe is using Cambodian Oud, my least favourite Oud ever, and is one funky smelling unpleasant Oud. To me, Erba Oud smells exactly like a dead sheep’s skin and wool rolled in rotten fruits, upon first spray I almost threw up. Several minutes later still the same 🤢 literally nauseating! This is a fragrance for an Ogre 👹
So far i tried erba leather, pasticio, vibrato, basso.. i hated all of them except basso i kinda like lol.. erba leather would be good too if the leather was a bit less prominent.. it opens up so nice and fruity just like erba pura :(

Glad you like them! But I’m so so sorry for all the money you spent. But I appreciate you letting me know. Thank you so much for the support. 😀
I hv pasticco Erba leather vibrato from this house.
😂😂😂😂😂 same here, my friend
How was Dolce Melodia? I’m seeing a white and orange bottle. Same name.
Same 😂

Full descriptions and then a ranking, this is a fragrance review at its best and a really strong house. Great work 👏
I have contralto, it is...bal d'afrique for sure, i have sniff erba leather, which is leather version of alharamain amber oud gold ed
It's Bal D'Afrique Middle Easternified! LOL!
Just bought dolce melodia and absolutely love LOVE it. I usually go for the citrus and fresh vibes…but wanted something sweeter for a change and wow…they got the combination right. Not too Vanillic…it’s delicious. Love your site btw…😊
I only have 2 of these - Vibrato and Dolce Melodia.
From the list, I'm keen to try Prima Donna.
I think you would like Prima Donna! :)
Its my mother’s favorite brand, she has all the ones with oud and keeps repurchasing them. Rosso Afgano is one of her favs
Yes! Bring Joe back! I really enjoyed this video! 👍🏼
You introduced me to Sospiro when you spoke about Dolce Melodia (which I LOVE) and I am really excited about trying more!
Awesome, it's so good!!
Great Sospiro review!! Welcome, Joe! You both were great!
I own vibrato and basso love them both basso reminds me so much of Islo blu from roja which to me is an amazing piece of work as well
Love to see you guys both together. Please bring Joe back to do video more often.. Thank you !
Happy 4th professor 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Basso smells like a simplified version of Oligarch / Isola Blu to me. Erba Gold is an even better less vegetal version of Erba Pura.
I'll have to compare those two.
YES!!!! So excited for this house review! Thank you Sebastian!
You're welcome, thank you for stopping by! :)
I love this video. Joe was a fun guest. I'm very excited to try Dolce Melodia
I love dry fragrances, and I also have dry skin.
Joe is nice to look at
He doesn’t look at the camera cuz he can’t stop looking at himself on the screen; I can’t blame him 😂
@@HeyAstorneither of them can look at the camera 😉
They’re all named after music - that’s the theme.
That's pretty groovy!! ;)
I see what you did there 😁🎼
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try out this brand and have a blessed day
Great video! Joe knows his stuff. Nice addition. A few are for me!!
Thank you you both for the video . I’m blind buy Pacticio and it’s spicy for me but I love the bottle !
Great video! I’ve been wanting to try Sospiro fragrances. Now I know where to start: Dolce Melodia. It sounds fantastic 🙂
It’s quite delicious!!
Awesome review 👏 👌 please i hope to see joe again 🙏
Yes. I had bought all of as samples.

You as well! Thank you.
Hey Joe 🙋🏾 , hey Sebastian
Hello!!
I finally tried Vibrato and to my nose it smells exactly like Bleu De Chanel.
Where can we see more of Joe? 🔥
On my channel. Wait for more videos!
Ordering Dolce Melodia straight away.
What are you thoughts on it? Too feminine for a guy? ;)

Ooh yes Vibrato. So good.
Sebastian, I’d love to hear your thoughts about Sospiro’s Erba Pura Magica.
Hopefully soon.
@@ThePerfumeGuyI just received Erba Pura Magica-it’s beautiful! I’m looking forward to hearing your review. 😉
Hello dear sir, may you do similar videos on different maison as Xerjoff, De Marly, etc select a number of fragrances and rate them from worst to best
The best fragrance in nish thanks
Haven’t made it through the entire video so idk if it’s mentioned, but Sospiro used to be part of Xerjoff
It was mentioned several times! ;)
I got a sample of BTV Hanuman...is it a more expensive contralto? I like the scent but if contralto is the same scent ill try that
Wonderful 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!

Basso = Roja ISOLA BLU / Oligarch
Sospiro Basso is my # 1.
Bentley Intense for men or Bentley for men....and the difference please...before I buy one or the other ?
I don't know the original. Only have worn the Intense and I love it. :)
Hi Sebastian, have you tested Sospiro Deep Ocean Amber?
I haven't tried this yet. Judging from the name is it Ambergris?

would you compare Bel Canto to Gris Charnel or Santal Complet, Sebastian?
Viprato basso erba leather erba pura
You know I never sprayed fragrance on my hair, got to try that 🤔
After the product is on. Just be careful though it does dry your hair. I only put it on when i have pomade on! :)

what is joe's instagram?
Is dolce molodia blind buy worthy for a guy if you like florals. Is it extreme fem?
Do you know where I can get some vintage Versace Versus Uomo for men 1991,. well kept ? It was discontinued, I think in about 2000...and I'm skeptical about sellers !!!
Are the Sospiro bottles filled all the way. Just bough Dolce Melodia and it seems about 90% full
I believe the bottles hold more than 100 mL so they might not fill them up all the way. I’ve noticed this the other day when I opened up boxes of another brand can’t remember now.
Looks like that they are about 90% full, I bought Erba Oud and the bottle was not filled all the way!
Vibrato reminds me of YSL L' Homme ,,,,,
Sospiro is the sister company of Xerjoff, right?
No more. They separated.
@@ThePerfumeGuy Thank you
No problem.
I’m seeing a white bottle of dulce melodia it is the same?
I’ve been getting samples, which one has the best projection and sent trail

Hello Sebastian & Joe
Hello hello!!
Oh this guy is a cutie 😳
I am thinking. The same
Meh he needs to lose that moustache
Here I was thinking this kid was the founder for Sospiro and here to discuss the house with you lol.

For sure, he will be back!!
He cute 🖤
Wiped the fruits with the funk. Sounds like my kind of fragrance. lol
The funky funk!!
Interestingly neither of you found Basso similar to Terre d'Hermes or Roja Oligarch.
I need to stop clicking on these, my shopping list is getting larger than my salary can handle lol
We need guides like this for more Niche fragrances lmao
Coming up.
God you guys look cute next to each other ❤
No way! Dior Homme Parfum is discontinued!!! 🙁
I haven't watched it yet. Did he say this?
Vibrato ❤❤❤❤
