Capriccio Sospiro

Capriccio Sospiro is a rich, opulent fragrance with a complex character that leans toward the formal and slightly sweet. It opens with crisp citrus notes of lemon and neroli, quickly followed by a lush, spicy-musky heart featuring cinnamon, coumarin, red berries, and white florals. The base is dominated by patchouli, agarwood (oud), sandalwood, amber, and cashmeran, creating a warm, slightly woody and slightly synthetic-smelling drydown. The overall impression is often described as clean and hygienic—reminiscent of a freshly washed ceramic floor or a high-end medical soap—though some note a delicate, velvety sweetness reminiscent of a scented teddy bear or a vintage dress. It wears well into the evening and shows its best in autumn and winter, though some find it too concentrated or medicinal. The sillage is occasionally strong, and longevity is moderate to very long on most skin types.
