The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024, Dolce Sonata by Sospiro Perfumes is a harmonious blend of sweet and smoky notes crafted by perfumers Salah Al Zarooni and Mariaceleste Lombardo. The composition opens with the bright freshness of raspberry, apricot, lime, and bergamot, creating an uplifting and vibrant top note. This gives way to the heart where osmanthus, lily of the valley, jasmine, and rose offer a delicate floral bouquet that is both soft and captivating. The base notes of incense, cotton candy, and patchouli introduce a warm, balsamic depth that grounds the fragrance with an unexpected complexity.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a balanced experience — the bright top notes are fleeting but vibrant, while the smoky base develops gradually. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points.
