Sospiro Perfumes Duetto is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Chris Maurice. Duetto opens with Ylang-Ylang, Pink Pepper, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Sospiro Perfumes's Duetto carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a beast: a powerful, complex rose-oud that's divisive but adored by those who get it. Not for the faint of heart, or for the office.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this isn't one for close quarters like the office. Its intensity and dark, complex profile make it perfect for formal events and evening dates, where it can truly shine and make a statement.

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

Duetto opens with a spicy kick of pink pepper and coriander, softened by the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a rich, dark rose, spiced with clove, before settling into an immensely deep and long-lasting base. Here, a prominent oud blends with earthy patchouli, amber warmth, and a hint of vanilla, all grounded by musk and sandalwood for a truly commanding presence.
