MEO FUSCIUNI
VARANASI

Varanasi opens with a striking blend of cardamom and nutmeg, layered with smoky incense and a whisper of luxurious saffron. As it develops, the heart reveals a rich floral bouquet of rose and jasmine, softened by the musky warmth of ambrette and the intriguing earthiness of cypriol oil. The dry down is where Varanasi truly stands out, unveiling a robust base of leather and agarwood that mingles with the deep, woody vetiver and the exotic nard Himalayan. The animalic undertones create a sense of raw sophistication, leaving a lasting impression that lingers long into the night. This unisex fragrance is best suited for the cooler months of fall and winter, making it an ideal choice for evening wear. With its long-lasting performance and moderate sillage, Varanasi commands attention without overwhelming the senses. It appeals to those who appreciate complex, bold scents that tell a story of mystery and depth. If you find yourself drawn to fragrances like Tom Ford's Oud Wood or Amouage's Reflection, Varanasi is a worthy addition to your collection, offering a unique twist that sets it apart.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Varanasi opens on incense and saffron before easing into a ambergris and cypriol oil or nagarmotha heart. Animal notes, agarwood (oud), and leather carry the base, which is where the wear ultimately lives. Performance lands in the middle: dependable longevity with measured projection. Lives in the fall-to-winter window with a nighttime tilt. Verdict: a solid mid-tier pick with broad appeal at 3.9/5.
