SOTD: Aswan by Widian (07/02/2025 Review) I received Aswan yesterday and didn't hesitate to make it my choice today. Widian's Aswan is a fruity-spicy fragrance that blends raspberry, bergamot, and pink pepper in the top notes; cedar and violet leaves in the middle; and leather, tobacco, vanilla, and musk in the base. There's also a realistic leather (not like smooth suede) that's subtly blended and stays constant throughout the experience. While initially fruity, the scent develops into a warmer, more amber and spicy fragrance. Aswan, for me, while having a notable leather note, is rather different than other leather-dominant fragrances like Parfums de Marly's Godolphin and Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather. This is primarily due to the fruity, bright and warm notes playing a relatively more significant role in Aswan. This makes Aswan more versatile, and while masculine leaning is also a great unisex option. The composition is rather unique, but not ground-breaking. While it may not be mass appealing, it is not offensive in my opinion.

This has always been a safe reach for me. Great value and I feel good wearing it in the afternoon. Pretty good YSL Y EDP clone too.

About four months from now, I started a journey to better myself step by step. The first step was working out consistently, and the second was reading daily, and so on. I believe it is time for me to step into the world of fragrances, and what better place to ask for advice than here! Please share any advice you have for any of these questions: What fragrances are your go-tos? What are the must-haves? What are phenomenal-smelling and yet not very expensive? What are great daily/special event fragrances? I will read all the replies, and I will be EXTREMELY grateful for any advice shared.

Trying a layering combo. Going with aqua dubai which is fresh, aqua, clean scent combined with a pineapple bomb in Al Fursan which dries down into a smokey pineapple. Can only describe the opening and the pineapple really pushes off coming from al fursan. You get the bergamot and mandarin from aqua dubai but the pineapple really sets it off. Really refreshing so far.
