The house

More from Sospiro

Sospiro is an Italian niche house, founded by Sergio Momo in 2010, that builds its perfumes around music, down to the names. The style is rich and polished, with bergamot and grapefruit up top and patchouli, amber, cedar and oakmoss below. Mezzo, from 2025, is aromatic and woody with a peppery bite. Il Padrino, also new in 2025, is the warm, boozy one, where amaretto meets spice. Basso goes deep and earthy, with vetiver and patchouli in the lead. Vibrato is the lightest of the four: citrus and flowers finished with a powdery touch. Salah Al Zarooni, Christian Provenzano and Nathalie Templer are among the perfumers behind the range. All of them are unisex, so wear whichever suits your mood.
