Underrated but you need the older batches....
The Vespero immediately captivated me from the original manufacturer's sample...

As a hybrid, it fulfills a niche role, so the fruity notes still make it fresh enough for cool summer evenings, yet it has that "dirty" and bad boy charm thanks to leather, rose and patchouli, combined with the raspberry, which suggests similarities with Widian London or even Ombre Nomade. And yes, it's almost as "evil" as Ombre Nomade, but that's just for spring and summer and that's what gives Vespero this unique selling point FOR ME...but because of its power, it's not one for everyday wear but clearly designed for parties and wild nights.

In my opinion, it doesn't have much in common with Aventus, it's more like the "dirtier" Club de Nuit Intense Man EDT but with raspberry & apple instead of pineapple, leather instead of smoke and otherwise much higher quality.

While we're on the subject of high quality, the OLD batches definitely smell niche quality, unfortunately I recently received a sample that somehow smelled much more chemical than the original manufacturer's sample... which leaves me puzzled.

The Vespero is definitely an insider tip, it combines the DNA of several successful fragrances in one and the scent (if you get the right batch!) is a real board for your summer nights - and all that with an almost obscene radiance and durability.

A single test is not enough
Vespero struck me very positively at the first test weeks ago, it even reminded me of the Royal Vintage I appreciated. Afterwards it was exciting, because neither perfume has much in common in terms of ingredients. At that time, however, I had extensive test material, I prepared Vespero for later, because I got used to test the fragrances which look like a candidate for purchase only later. Deferred purchases, that's my liquidity management so to speak. But that is another story

So now I was sitting there and had to realize that this fruit combination in me olfactorically turns into saffron. Saffron can be good, but it is often used and so the top note simply did not grab me. Especially in relation to leather is the well-known fare. However the apple and grapefruit can go in this direction, one has the feeling that the fruit must have been more than ripe. Cypress or the memory of it doesn't really come back to me either. Yes, also due to the leather and the bergamot, Vespero reminds here and there on Royal Vintage. But not in an intensity that one could really speak of a similarity. Rather, the rich saffron-like spectacle in combination with the leather is irritating and reminds me of many a clone of the master of the saffron-raspberry-leather triumvirate.
Gently this reminiscence fades away and becomes fruitier. But like fruits which have already exceeded the climax of their usefulness. Now this has a direct influence on the leather in the heart note, which is essentially of the same quality and style as the well-known representatives of the genre. At no time does it appear dark or tart. It always remains solid, at the beginning it absorbs the sweetness of the fruit and continues to smell like it. At some point the fruits were quasi wrung out, the leather becomes more neutral, but still has this undertone which actually reminds one of cypress due to its lime-like aura. This is the best part, if I have my way.
Relatively quickly, this leather becomes sweet while retaining that saffron-like touch and Vespero takes this direction. This smells good in itself, but is nevertheless somehow familiar, reminiscent of many things and nothing at the same time. Patchouli certainly contributes to this sweet, earthy note, which gradually emerges, but that's it for me and my perception; a further development is not revealed to me.
What can you say to that? For me it's proof that you often notice at the first test what you are not likely to buy (I like to test fragrances but against the background of a purchase) but unfortunately also tend to rate them too highly, at least that's how I feel. Countless fragrances I had already bought in my head, from Canary & Cobra to Palais Nizam and Vespero. All of them didn't make it, and so did Vespero. For me personally it is too much known what is produced differently but in the end it is not able to give me an olfactory aha-experience. Basically a formidable scent, no question. But not in my eyes.

I know that there are some pointed similarities between this and Aventus but I find Vespero to be so much smoother and complex. Gorgeous!!

Wonderful smell from the beginning, a soft leather... but the drydown is magical with a great smoky/musky. Good sillage.

The "darker" Aventus! Opens up fruity and fresh, but within a couple of hours becomes smoky and musky. All season, versatile fragrance.

Fruity notes in a masculine setting; Typically unsweet, vaguely leatherish and high on acidity. Menthol-fresh to the point of feeling harsh
