Fragrance World Suspenso is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Suspenso opens with Marigold, Lavender, Geranium, and Basil, settles into a heart of Bran, Fruity, Tobacco, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Cypress. Fragrance World's Suspenso carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Suspenso promised to be a D&G Pour Homme clone, but seems to have veered wildly off course. Expect a strong, somewhat brutal fragrance with a play-doh amber note by some accounts, and truly patchy performance. Don't blind buy.

The 'strong, pushing, brutal' character suggests it might be too much for a formal office setting. However, its aromatic and woody nature makes it versatile for casual outings and even a date night, despite its noted poor performance which might necessitate reapplication.

About

Suspenso opens with a distinctly green and herbaceous burst, thanks to fresh lavender and basil intertwined with the unusual marigold and geranium. It's a slightly damp, earthy freshness hinting at rain. The heart then shifts to a more rugged, rustic feel with dry hay and clary sage, underpinned by a peculiar fruity-bran accord and a soft tobacco. The journey ends on a warm, resinous base of labdanum and amber, with the smooth woodiness of cypress and sandalwood, all wrapped in a subtle musk.
