Amazing perfume! Spiced and sweet, with an opening that smells like cough syrup. After a few minutes, it transforms into a distinct cardamomo scent layered over a deep, dark rose, sitting on a base of patchouli and oud that’s noticeable but not annoying. By the hour, it develops very subtle notes of tobacco and incense. I didn’t detect the chamomile or ginger. Overall, it’s a fantastic fragrance—complex, dark, and incredibly pleasant. Given its notes, it suits cool days best, but there are no rules; wear it whenever you want. It’s unisex, but it looks best on a guy in a leather jacket on a motorcycle. It smells like a mature, elegant scent that’s long-lasting with moderate sillage. Six sprays will last from 7 AM to 6 PM, leaving you with nice bursts of scent. Rating: Aroma 7.5/10, Sillage 7.5/10, Projection 7.5/10, Longevity 8.5/10
Capitano Spavento
A classic rose/oud with a livelier opening thanks to the cardamomo and ginger, which hit you with the whole scent all at once before settling into a duo of rose and chamomile over a tobacco and oud base. Sweet and pleasant for an oud, with more wood than resin. The chamomile adds a honeyed touch without being cloying. Very elegant; I think it’s the kind of perfume for solo enjoyment. Without the chamomile, it would be just ‘another one,’ but that note gives it a special touch that sets it apart in its category.
Capitano Spavento
Generic in the rose/oud world, but it has an energetic opening driven by cardamomo and ginger that carry the initial notes until it settles into a rose/chamomile combo over a tobacco/oud base. Sweet and pleasant for an oud, it smells more like wood than resin. The chamomile adds a honeyed touch without being cloying. Very elegant; I think it’s the kind of perfume for personal enjoyment. Without the chamomile, it would be just ‘another one,’ but that note gives it a distinct character that sets it apart in this category.
