Wardasina

Wardasina - little rose, such a sweet tenderness attached to the name but it has nothing to do with the atomical rose trapped in the bottle. This perfume is so seductive, alluring & mysterious, my all time signature scent. It has an unapologetic intensity, a vivid burst of earthy green notes that feel almost molecular in the architecture of the fragrance. The heart reveals itself with immediacy and force. Rose takes center stage, unapologetically dominant, supported by creamy patchouli that amplifies its lush, narcotic character. The floral accord is expansive and opulent, with saphron contributing a pronounced indolic depth that enriches the bouquet’s sensuality. Together with the cedar, they form a radiant yet carnal core, unmistakably assertive in presence. Tobacco, musk & vanila morph togheter perfectly and offer such an sensual backdrop for the floral heart of this perfume, which is bold and has such a beautiful and complex depth. Projection is enormous, with a sillage designed to command attention...and it lasts too much, I can still feel it on a blouse from last summer. This is a composition that does not linger quietly, it announces, surrounds and leaves a trace. It is memorable, for sure, I've never smelled something that gives me the same feeling as this one does. I remember a few years ago, I was visitng my cousin and the next day he said that his whole bedroom still smelled like me. The next time I visited he made me rub my neck against his pillow case because he loved the perfume that much...he ended up buying it not too long after so I will definitely say this is indeed a unisex fragrance, I don't know how to explain it but it just smells like lux and opulence.

Most interesting find of the year, for me. I tried Black Afghano and though it was awkward and unfinished. Didn't like it at all. The cannabis note was too strong for me, and it felt oily, for a lack of a better description. Wardasina is basically a black afghano flanker. It takes a similar accord to black afghano, toned it down and smoothed it out, then added an old fashioned aldehydic rose, patchouli, and sweet tobacco to it. I have no idea how it works, but it does. The rose really finishes the fragrance, imo. The original felt like it was lacking a clear subject. There is no foil to the cannabis/amber/smoke accord. It lays flat. The rose/tobacco additions to this really give it lift and life. I also swear there are aldehydes in here, although not listed. The aldehydes also give it lift and sharpness. I feel like this is black afghano completed, even though it is technically a copy by Chris maurice. The original was flat, asphyxiated you. Wardasina, on the other hand, has this incredible 3-D feel. The ambery, cannabis funk fights with the sweet tobacco and vanilla, and the sharp, powdery rose cuts through all of it. The contrast it has is super interesting and elevates every individual component. Not actually the most well blended, as the perfume has elements that are too different to form a cohesive note. This stuff is really weird. Probably very divisive as well. I could see people hating this stuff. I love it though, personally. One of my most worn, and a bit of a dumb reach. Always stimulating. Absolutely beautiful.

Love from the first sight! Chriss Maurice, thank you so much for creating this beautiful fragrance for me! Unique, feminine and sensual. One of my favourites from Xerjoff Velvet Collection, overriding "Erba Pura", "Overture" and "Accento". Beautiful rich fresh green rose, vanilla, musk and something else mysteriously oriental (saffron perhaps). Fragrance fit for a queen.. I have sprayed it into my hair and onto my cotton trench coat before going to the Nativity play and I have received a few compliments as soon as I hit the hall. Luxury and authentic with six seven hour lasting power. I cannot identify any other fragrance, that obtains such an enormous longevity and projection. I feel empowered and wanted whilst wearing it!

This is so beautiful. Mature and has this vintage feel but completely wearable. I am truly in love. It is definetly different from anything i have smelled and something i have been looking for a long time. Upon first spray it was love and it only grew bigger with driedown. Beautiful unsweeten rose, well blended patchouli, smooth and musky. Honestly has this vinatage quality in the best possible way, It makes it so unique. This is definetely grown up secent in my opinion, to my nose done to perfection.

A smoke bomb of dry greenery and a bouquet of dry roses. Opening is super challenging. Took me a while to fall in love with Wardasina. It was a blind buy fail at first, but then I tried it in the cold drizzle of November rain... there is nothing that I experienced that can be compared with this feeling. This blend is so dry, that it needs very high humidity to open up all the faucets. Very cozy, all day projection, so easy to wear in the right weather
