An Englishman on a Detour
After all the classic scents that the British traditional company has brought to the market, they now also join the oriental segment. "As Sawira" from the Trade Routes Collection comes completely atypically.
One certainly does not expect a classic suit-wearer sipping his Earl Grey tea and laughing at his own British humor from a perfume named "As Sawira."
That is truly not the case!
This Englishman is on a detour, namely towards the Orient! This is certainly evident from the name. The Englishman throws himself into traditional garb, mounts a camel, and rides across a vast landscape consisting solely of sand.
Instead of classic ingredients like lavender, saffron is used right from the start, and not sparingly! It hits hard. Then various spices join in, which I won’t dissect here. A little rose is also incorporated, and there you have the oriental Englishman!
All the ingredients are woven together in a good balance, nothing stands out, which I find quite nice. The sillage is also quite moderate for an oriental, although I wouldn’t recommend it for the office!
Anyone who appreciates English tradition and wants to know how the Englishman envisions the Orient should test "As Sawira"! Otherwise, one can confidently reach for the classic oriental brands like Montale, etc.

That aside, this is beautifully and vividly described. I really like oriental scents (at times). :-)
