The young London

"W I D I A N" in hieroglyphics adorns the beautiful Widian-typical bottle in a cartouche that was actually intended for ancient Egyptian royal names. Does this royal reference do justice to Aswan?
The fragrance starts off fresh and slightly green and is noticeably different from the better-known London. But it doesn't take long for the raspberry to make itself felt. It is fruity, sweet and loud, but also delicate and smooth at the same time.
I don't notice the leather note for a while, unlike the London. Only after a while does a leather base develop, which doesn't steal the show from the raspberry even after many hours.

The freshness and soft green notes make Aswan a fragrance that is more suitable for everyday wear, which is great for the colder and fresher months. I was still very aware of the fragrance after 10 hours - the raspberry was still very noticeable.
Aswan is probably a little too potent for the office, but can be used anywhere else.
It is younger, fresher and more casual than London, but less elegant.
But does that make it the king? - No, in my opinion he is too "inexperienced" for that.
As much as I like him, London is the king, but Aswan is the prince!
