Rosso Afgano

It's so hard to find another Rose frag enjoyable since discovering my Manrose by Etro. Manrose is the king of all masculine Rose frags but this one isn't bad at all. A few sprays is all it takes for hours of wear. In the opening I get a heavy dose of Tobacco Rose, patchouli and Cedar that pretty much stays for the duration but later in the dry down I start to enjoy the musky vanilla dancing around in the background... The magic to me is after the first half hour or so... The dry down is amazing!! Definitely feminine at first but then it becomes much more masculine. I absolutely love this projection monster... Another masterpiece from Sospiro....

I wore this fragrance for a day. It had a cumbersome rose opening. It was not a very pleasant opening. but once the rose dries down. it gives off half-decent tobacco and vanilla. for south Asian high humidity air, it does not flow very well. The rose feels very synthetic and sweet. The opening note lives for long but the middle and base notes are not very long-lasting. I gave it a dislike and not hate because I enjoyed the base notes and it's definitely not a summer/spring fragrance.

Does anyone know why does Rosso Afgano list the same notes as Wardasina? Am I missing something? The only information I found is that it's a Valentine's Day Special edition of Wardasina .. whatever that may mean.

This is the same as Wardasina, the name has been changed as such for the Middle Eastern market.. Same thing with Laylati which was renamed Puro Afgano..
