Basso Tester

People comparing this to Vibrato... I'm curious....where are buying your bottle? I bought direct from Sospiro and my bottle smells nothing like Vibrato but is very similar to the TdH DNA. Its very good, lasts and projects....but probably redundant to own both. I don't know if people are aware...but there are many fakes being sold on tiktok shop, Amazon resellers and ebay. Be sure that you only buy from reputable resellers. The fakes are getting more difficult to distinguish. Basso.....lasts...projects....and smells like a high quality TdH. I think people should include where they purchased there bottle along with their review. I'm sure we'll see certain trends with where purchased and certain types of reviews.

Based on the vastly differing reviews here, it's interesting seeing how differently Basso apparently reacts to folks' body chemistry, to the point where some people smell completely different notes from others. Me, I fall into the citrus camp. It is all I smell in the opening, such that to my nose, it initially smells similar to Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim. If you're considering Sospiro Vibrato, I strongly consider you test this one out first. Both are nice citric fragrances, but Vibrato is the more tart sibling of the smoother Basso. Where Vibrato smells more like grapefruit, Basso smells more like orange (despite the identified notes above).

Opens with a juicy blast of grapefruit, quickly transforms into into a soapy vetiver & cedar, then dries down into a woody/oakmoss-y base. Smells a lot like Terre D'Hermes. It also reminds me of Hacivat in the drydown, but less focus on the oakmoss, more focus on the cedar. The strong vetiver in the opening was too much, smelled a bit screechy to me but I'm also not a huge fan of strong vetiver scents in general. I'd wear this to the office or on a hot summer day - also it performs very very well for a summer scent, as do most of Sospiro's scents.

Terre d'Hermes on the left hand and Basso on the right hand. Both open up with a big blast of grapefruit but I am going to agree with all of the comments that Basso is a more refined and elegant version of the TdH. Its a very accurate statement. I think from beginning to end Basso is just better and I am huge fan of TdH. I particularly love the dry down of Basso where TdH just seems to leave the dry down open ended like a story with no dramatic ending. While Basso ends with a dramatic woody semi sweet gentle ending.

I am 41 years old and have about 30 nitch fregrences in my collection. To describe me: 41, fit, decent looking. Love menswear, art. This is my favorite fragrance that represents me: classical, luxurious, hypnotic. It is fresh, mature, and young at the same time. It can be worn in all seasons.
