Wardasina (Rosso Afgano)

Sospiro wardasina is a perfume I have been hearing for long time and impression I had made in my mind is a rose monster which is little sweet and projects like anything . I don't know why that picture got build in my mind may be combination of my friends review plus how the bottle looks and also it is for some reason marketed to woman . In Sospiro main notes are tobacco , saffron and rose with touch of spice and who ever marketed this for woman needs to get his or her head checked asap as this is one of the manliest fragrance I have smelled . As this was my first wearing I don't want to go in depth on note breakdown and development as that is never fair to a perfume however let try to put this in simpler way . In the opening it kinds similar to incense rose but remove the incense and add Tobacco with rose and it stays like that for few hours and then it changes its texture I kept thinking for long that dry down is reminding me of something however it took me few hours to pin point . Guess what ? BLACK AFGANO Yes it's not exactly similar to afgano but still very similar and I was loving the drydown it was giving and it will be so great in winters . I will save my sample for winters now and this is a projection monster (24 hours type). This is very unlike Sospiro fragrance and more like tauer or nassamota fragrance IMO . 8.5/10

Wardasina is practically a drug, I feel absolutely inebriated when I wear it. One of the finest and most beautiful scents I've ever tried. I typically don't like rose bombs but the tobacco and patchouli really ground this. The saffron accent is perfection, and the creamy dry down is to die for. Extremely mysterious, intoxicating and luxurious fragrance. It's like walking across deep pile red velvet to ascend your throne. At midnight, of course. The quality is outstanding. Longevity is incredible -- it will last for almost a day on the skin; sometimes I can still smell it after I've had a bath. Sillage is a beast, just the way I like it. This is an opulent power fragrance meant to stun a whole room. Someone mentioned it's somewhat reminiscent of Marc Jacobs' Decadence EDP, which I didn't really notice until it was pointed out. It's true! I love and own that scent, but Wardasina is in a completely different league. Much smokier than Decadence, which is on the sweeter side. If you really want to do your head in, lightly layer Decadence over Wardasina. I just did it myself and...oh my. Wardasina's only downside is the price tag, but it's well worth saving up for. With this kind of longevity and sillage, a 100ml bottle will last for years.

I received a large decant of Wardasina today and I was quick to spray it on my hand to see what it was all about. I am usually not a big fan of Roses as a note in fragrances but the Rose in Wardasina is superb in quality and very true. The initial blast was quite strong and the Patchouli was very big but then it quickly mellows down and the sweet Tobacco comes out. The dry down is heavenly for me as the Rose is not the prominent note anymore but a very well blended sugary Tobacco, quite powdery and rosy at the same time. As I said, the quality is definitely there and the lasting power is excellent. A very elegant and luxurious fragrance, highly recommended!

I finally got hold of a sample and love it. The saffron, tobacco then rose are very up front. Most definitely an intense, rich creation made of good materials. The patch and musk really come to the fore after an hour or two. Tobacco hangs on right to the end. I was hoping to get more rose. It just proves again the importance of testing. Moderate silage and longevity with this intense baccy creation.

In a nutshell this is just a stunning masterpiece. A killer mode intoxicant that gets everyones attention. Very beautiful and longlasting. This was the fragrance that made me seek other sospiro fragrances. Now I have Laylati and Capriccio, they are also good though they do not match Wardasina. Very pricy but 2 puffs is all you need for the day.
