Tenore
Black pepper and cardamom open Tenore with an operatic confidence, the Italian house's signature bravado applied to a spiced opening that wastes no time settling. Rose in the heart brings a warmth that geranium sharpens into something greener and more structured. Leather below it gives the composition a masculine gravity that patchouli and vetiver in the base then carry into a deep, lasting finish.
Why We Carry This
Sospiro's sister relationship with Xerjoff gives Tenore access to the same material quality at a register that suits the spicy-leather category. The cardamom-geranium-vetiver arc is handled with the precision the house applies consistently across its catalog.
