XERJOFF Wardasina Eau de Parfum

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!

Wardasina, or little rose: oh no, I don't agree here!
This is a great rose, which when mixed with tobacco and saffron takes on a very sensual, particular character, which I really liked.
I see myself in a red dress, elegant and exalted even more by this wonderful fragrance.
Definitely ended up on the wishlist.

You get the saffron and the tobacco rose. This scent is discreet and soft. Only the opening is scratchy in the first minute, but then it settles into a soft powdery oriental rose with green undertones. The vanilla gives just a minimal hint of sweetness as it is tamed by the green notes. It is absolutely unisex. I wish it would project more and last longer. On me it turns into a skin scent after two hours.

I love this, and I’m frustrated that I love this, because it does smell of rose-scented soap. It absolutely does. I just so happen to be a complete and utter sucker for the bold, undiluted scent of rose. I adored Rosewater by Crabtree & Evelyn, and this strikes me as a slightly more sophisticated version of that. But only slightly more sophisticated.

After a couple of hours, the sharp soapiness of the rose ebbs somewhat, allowing the tobacco and saffron to peek through. That’s when the fragrance is at its best, imo.

If they had sweetened this very slightly and doubled the dose of tobacco, saffron, and musk, Wardasina may have been more interesting, and more worthy of its sky high price tag.

The dry down of this perfume smells like traditional Suzhou fan/Sandalwood fan. REALLY.
From my nose, this is Rose with sandalwood, a little bit powdery.
I know there's no sandalwood on the pyramid. But I really think it's included.
The scent is so nostalgic. This fragrance is exactly that kind of smell, very very similar.
'Coz my grandma & mom always carried them when I was young as weather here is so hot during summer. Those fan is scented, made by sandalwood.

Quite lovely and nostalgic, lovely bottle too. I quite want a Full bottle!
Longevity is great. Moderate sillage. Leans feminine.
