WIDIAN Aswan is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021. Aswan opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Virginia Cedarwood, Violet Leaf, and Ambroxan, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Patchouli, and Vanilla. WIDIAN's Aswan carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Aswan is clearly going for that popular raspberry-leather vibe, but it's divisive. Some find it a fruity, elegant masterpiece; others say it's just 'London Lite' with a less pronounced leather, making it redundant or a tad too syrupy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Aswan kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and a juicy raspberry note, spiced up ever so slightly by pink pepper. As it settles, a clean violet leaf emerges, alongside the crisp, woody scent of cedar and a modern touch of ambroxan. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of smooth leather, earthy patchouli, a hint of tobacco, and a creamy vanilla, all softened by musk and coumarin for a warm, inviting finish.
