Sospiro Perfumes Contralto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Christian Provenzano. Contralto opens with Orange Blossom, Pink Pepper, and Clove, settles into a heart of Chestnut, Guaiac Wood, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Peru Balsam, and Cashmeran.

About

Contralto opens with a vibrant, almost effervescent orange blossom and a subtle kick of pink pepper and clove. As it deepens, a smooth, aromatic blend of juniper and guaiac wood emerges, giving it a clean, woody character. The dry down is a comforting, musky warmth of cashmeran and vanilla, grounded by a balsamic peru balsam, creating an almost 'creamy' feel.
