Niche Fabric Softener

Perfumery works for me like everything else on this world, going on circles and repeating itself in the way it operates. What was before mainly the mainstream perfumery focus, the primor with the bottle and packaging, became with time also very important in the niche field too, that in this way become closer to the former, just with an elitist attitude. What separates Wardasina and some of Xerjoff fragrances (Sospiro is one of their brands) from a mainstream creation? The presentation and price. Wardasina for me stays on the limit between a fragrance and a fabric softener and it was negative surprise when i smelled it for the first time. Passing its honey opening, a bitter and animalic one, the fragrance developes into a poor roses accord and a trong synthetic base of woody and musky aromas. It's the kind of combination that would last days on clothes, leaving that bright smell which is hard to distinguish the nuances. As a luxe creation, it certainly fall short, but i guess that who buys it doesn't care at all.

A big Rose

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.

Pretty Woman

...so with the flacon I think first of Julia Roberts in Pretty Women as she goes to the opera and she wears this wonderful red evening dress. I imagine then which fragrance she probably carries and am the opinion Wardasina would fit perfectly to it.
Since I can call the wonderful opera my own, I was naturally curious about the other scents of Sospirio. I was interested in Wardasina because I like extraordinary rose scents.
Thanks to a very generous offer in the souk I can now also call this wonderful fragrance my own.
I take Wardasina was dark, velvety, woody, creamy and also sweet. I do not find the rose overpowering. It is a noble, passionate, deep fragrance.
I imagine myself sitting in the Milan Scala and listening to Turandot - my favourite opera - I wear a red velvet dress and sit next to my dream man:-)).......
For the durability of this fragrance...so I take it the next morning was still and as far as the Sillage is concerned, it is probably room-filling.
Clear test recommendation :-))

The queen of roses

Wardasina is truly the queen of roses.
A wonderfully spicy, woody rose. Not one of those sweet rose fragrances that are already in abundance.
Xjerjoff has once again demonstrated his skills with this fragrance.
This rose smells simply precious and it can afford not to be liked by everyone.
You could say this fragrance is simply a statement!!!
The rose is definitely the main actor in this great perfume. Accompanied by beautiful herbal notes. Not a blind buy. You should definitely try this queen before you order the bottle.

Wow ...

... Wrapped in a pleasant mixture ... sweet, but not... Every time I smell it, I perceive a different need. Yes, predominantly the rose is to be sniffed out but densely accompanied by vetiver, saffron, tobacco/smoked cedar ... and the slight sweet note of patchouli ... hhmm, delicious :-)
The price gives one but I find absolutely justified. Should definitely be tested first on the skin. I was lucky - a successful blind purchase :-)
