Prima Donna

7.7

Sospiro · 2022

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Sospiro Prima Donna is a feminine perfume where cherry and jasmine meet a sweet, oriental base of amber, chocolate and resins. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, and all voters rate the staying power high. The vote count is small, though, so these figures are only a rough guide. With no season or occasion votes, it is hard to say when it suits best, but its sweetness and density give it a clearly feminine character. The top holds cherry, jasmine, rose and fruity notes. The heart brings leather, lily of the valley, herbaceous notes and milk, which soften the sweetness and add a creamy, slightly leathery edge. In the base, amber, chocolate, resinous notes, cedarwood and musk take over, and it dries down woody, resinous and warm.
