The house of Sospiro Perfumes gifted the world with Ouverture in 2016. A unisex fragrance belonging to the east and floral families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Christian Maurice Carbonnel. Available as eau de parfum.
It has a delicate sillage, staying close and personal. It stays on the skin for a good while — longevity is firmly in the moderate range. Behind this fragrance stands Italy and its rich perfumery heritage. Ouverture Sospiro Perfumes unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
A subtle trail—just a hint of fragrance
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Ouverture is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Sospiro Perfumes is evident from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
From the first breath you meet fresh green opening notes: Fig Leaf, Magnolia and Orange.
When the opening settles you meet Cinnamon, Jasmine, Rose and ylang-ylang keeping a sensual jasmine direction.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Floral and Musc without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In wear duration Middle suggests confident staying power.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Green, Floral, Citrus and Spicy. The palette also extends to Whiteflower, Ambery, Musk and Balsamic.
In summary Ouverture holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
