Salah Al Zarooni leads the creative work at Sospiro from Dubai. The house was started in Italy in 2011 by Sergio Momo, founder of Xerjoff, and Dominique Salvo, and in 2022 it opened a new chapter run from Dubai. Since then his name has sat on its recent launches, which hold Italian structure and Gulf taste in balance.
He works alongside career perfumers. Vibranna (2025), with orris and bergamot over moss, lily of the valley and nutmeg, then musk, patchouli and amber, is credited to him with Christian Provenzano, a perfumer for more than half a century. Il Padrino, the Sospiro we carry, sets dark rum and amaretto over amber, sandalwood, labdanum and Siam benzoin.
