The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022, Erba Oud by Sospiro Perfumes is a composition that balances the freshness of citrus and fruity notes with the warmth and depth of oud and leather. Perfumer Christian Provenzano has crafted a scent that opens with bright orange, lemon, and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy and clarity. As these top notes settle, melon and peach introduce a sweet, juicy contrast before giving way to the rich, smoky undertones of oud and leather. The base notes of vanilla, white musk, and amber provide a warm embrace, grounding the fragrance in its unisex appeal.

How to wear it

One or two sprays will suffice as the top notes are quite bright and dissipate within a couple of hours. The fragrance builds on skin over time, so it’s best to apply just before you need its full warmth to emerge. It pairs well for daytime wear but can also carry into the evening with its rich base notes.
