Sospiro Perfumes Cadenza is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Christian Provenzano. Cadenza opens with Bergamot and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Green Notes, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Sospiro Perfumes's Cadenza carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Prepare for a jasmine bomb with Cadenza; it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. This scent is absolutely massive, lasts forever, and leans decidedly feminine. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you adore potent white florals, this might just be your next obsession.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its enormous projection and lasting power make it less suitable for an office environment, where it could be overwhelming. The strong, elegant floral profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights, though its intensity means careful application is key.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cadenza explodes with an unyielding white floral intensity, driven primarily by jasmine and lily of the valley. A bright bergamot note attempts a brief intervention at the start, but is swiftly enveloped by the floral onslaught. As the initial bloom settles, green and woody notes emerge from the background, offering a subtle grounding to the heady florals. The base wraps things up with a clean, almost soapy warmth from musk and amber, underscored by earthy vetiver and patchouli, which only serve to prolong the floral dominance.
