Sapna

The third mango centric fragrance from Sasva is a boozy, ambery, plumy one. I feel like in Sapna, the liquor, the plum and the peaches are represented almost equally as the mango is, in the composition. And since I’ve discovered Olympea Legend, years ago, I am obsessed with plums in fragrances, so Sapna goes straight to my heart having both mango and plums in it...And a touch of booze, I love a boozy perfume! Feels like this was created to suit my personal taste... Again, a unique take on a mango perfume, like in Moha, with the coffee. I find this brand it’s really great at creating beautiful and different scents around popular notes or trends in the perfumery in 2024. Goes without saying that Sapna is on my to buy list. Out of the three mango scents, Sapna smells the most delicious, it’s the sweetest and the most complex. Has some phases in development, it’s not entirely flat. It’s so unique and underrated as the rest of the brand. I am aware that they are a new Indian niche brand, created in 2022, but in time, if more people will give Sasva Parfums a shot, hopefully the brand will become more mainstream and easily accessible in EU as well. Cause some of their fragrances are amazing and unique compared to what European brands do. Good longevity on skin, I can still smell it at ten hours mark. One of the strongest from Sasva!

This is beautiful. A fruity opening mellows down into toasty coconut, moss and tobacco, over a leathery amber base.

This is very artfully done but it isn’t at all what I expected. This is an extremely fruity fragrance, with mango being the most obvious note. There is a lot of gourmand sweetness but also something slightly putrid. To my nose, I kind of envision rotten tropical fruits stewing in some sort of wooden barrel. It is still addicting and alluring. Balancing act between the beauty and the ugly. Hard to explain, but I haven’t smelled anything quite like it. I totally disagree with Cafe Tabac comparisons. I actually don’t get much tobacco in Sapna. 8.0/10

I had really high hopes for this one, but I can't get over a nasty, dirty note that I have no idea where it comes from... I don't see anything like it in the notes listed... 🤔

This is pretty. It has a very mild tobacco note, what really shines here is a spiced cognac note, fruity notes and spices, like cardamom and cinnamon. It is very good. Spiced, boozy, sweet cognac scent.
