Maraschino is a unisex eau de parfum by Sospiro, the Italian house founded in 2011 that composes perfumes like music and that, since 2022, has been writing a new chapter from Dubai. Part of the Red collection, it is a playful and sunny floral fruity fragrance, where indulgence meets elegance with a warm, sensual charm.
The Fragrance
For the house, Maraschino is a playful reverie where indulgence meets elegance: bright and comforting at once, it wraps the skin in warmth and sweetness with a joyful, intimate and irresistible grace. The name evokes maraschino, the Italian liqueur made from marasca cherries, and captures its idea of bright, festive pleasure. Signed by Christian Provenzano, it is housed in Sospiro’s velvet-covered bottle, finished like a butterfly’s wing.
How It Evolves on Skin
The opening is a bite of ripe fruit: juicy cherry and milky almond, with strawberry, apple and peach woven together with jasmine sambac and rose. In the heart the sweetness becomes softer and more powdery with heliotrope, mimosa and iris, sharpened by a touch of vetiver. The base is warm and velvety: patchouli, sandalwood, tonka bean, musk, amber and vanilla leave a sensual, comforting trail on the skin.
Who We Recommend Maraschino To
We recommend it to those who love fruity, gourmand perfumes with an elegant soul, and to anyone looking for a joyful fragrance that lifts the mood. It is a perfume to wear all year round, in spring and summer as well as autumn and winter, and it is especially happy during the day: at work, around town, at an aperitivo or at lunch with friends.
