Pasticcio

I sampled 24 of sospiros perfumes. This and vibrato were the only two I kept reaching back to smell. Basso was alright and some of the others smelled just okay. I must say I am surprised Halfeti isn't listed as one of the " this perfume reminds me of" because when I sprayed this, I instantly grabbed my halfeti and sprayed my other arm to compare. Must be the Rose notes. That is just my opinion and what I pick up from it, but I do think it smells really nice. Even the opening. I am currently wearing my halfeti on one arm and this on the other to compare longevity and so far, this is outperforming. I may have to pick up a bottle of this and sell my halfeti as it would be redundant to own both. *Halfeti is still an amazing fragrance*. This and halfeti are listed as cold weather fragrances which I think both are light enough for summer days just not 80+. Its fascinating to me watching other people review this fragrance saying it smells like all these different colognes. Pasticcio in Italian does mean MESS which I think makes this very unique!

Very weird and hard to put together but very beautiful and elegant scent. It feels like a soft woody vanilla, mixed with iris and other floral aspects. Soft but not weak. It’s a real pleasure smelling this as it’s incredibly easy on the nose. Weirdly enough, it reminds me of a lot if different scents. I do get the blazing mr sam/jazz club vibe but this feels way richer than that. I also get the gris charnel comparison. Another thing i also get is the spicy muskiness from prada luna rossa black, especially in the opening. It’s like a mix of all those scents in the best possible way. Very strange but beautiful. 9/10.

Pasticcio is GORGEOUS. For what it’s worth, I am not a fan of Gris Charnel nor coconut and I do not perceive these in Pasticcio. I mainly detect soft floral, iris/orris, woody, and musk notes. Smooooooth. This is one of the most beautifully blended compositions I have. For me, this is in the same vein as House of Bo Espiritu and Diptyque Orpheon. My only wish is that the velvet bottle was in a light mocha brown or soft lavender color to better fit the scent profile, as well as stand out in my collection. Pasticcio is eminently wearable and enjoyable.

The notes listed smell nothing like the fragrance. Nobody has mentioned it but is smells like Clive Christian Blonde amber with a little more fruit. I can only described the scent as warm, intoxicating, creamy and woody- a soft fruitiness blends so well with the other notes and makes a seamless transition. This is office safe, it’s not in your face announcing its arrival but a smooth operator. I’m sat in my scent bubble and I’m soaking up the ambience- wow-

As a woman, I usually don’t tend to go for fragrances that lean more masculine like this one. But I love this scent. It reminds me a lot of the Pacific Northwest which I’m from. I smell pine needles even though it isn’t in the notes. It leans more masculine but a female can definitely pull this off. I look forward to purchasing a full bottle of this
