Xerjoff Wardasina EDP

Introduction

Xerjoff Wardasina is a niche oriental floral from the celebrated Italian house, released in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Chris Maurice. The name nods to the regal beauty of the rose, and that is precisely what the composition delivers: a lavish, modern interpretation of rose dressed in warm, resinous depth. It is a unisex fragrance that balances floral elegance with a sensual, enveloping character, making it equally at home on a man or a woman who appreciates refined, statement scents.

Fragrance Journey

Top Notes: Green Notes

Heart Notes: Bulgarian Rose, Saffron, Patchouli and Cedar

Base Notes: Tobacco, Musk and Vanilla

The opening is crisp and green, a brief freshness that quickly gives way to the heart. There, a full-bodied Bulgarian rose takes centre stage, lifted by the leathery glow of saffron and grounded by earthy patchouli and dry cedar. As it settles, tobacco, soft musk and a gentle sweetness of vanilla round everything into a warm, polished drydown.

Performance

Wardasina offers strong longevity, comfortably lasting eight hours or more on skin and often longer on clothing. Projection is moderate to generous in the first hours, with a sillage that feels elegant rather than overpowering, settling closer to the skin over time. It suits cooler evenings and temperate seasons best, leans towards night-time and formal wear, and flatters a mature, confident wearer, broadly from the late twenties upward.

Best Occasions

This is a fragrance for occasions that call for presence and polish: dinners, weddings, anniversaries, evening events and celebrations. It also works well as a refined signature scent for special days at the office or cultured outings where you wish to be remembered for taste rather than volume.

Nigerian Climate Advice

In Nigeria's heat, Wardasina's richness is best managed with a lighter hand. On hot afternoons, one or two sprays to pulse points will carry beautifully without becoming heavy. During the rainy season and cooler harmattan evenings, the warm tobacco and vanilla base truly flourish, so you can apply a little more freely. In air-conditioned spaces the composition stays balanced and long-lasting, making it ideal for indoor functions and evening wear.
