Latest Reviews of Sasora
After an initial blast of juicy yuzu comes a rather unappealing, sour, oniony, funky and almost rotten smell. Not really fecal but not pleasant. This stench soon morphs into something far less unappetizing and smelling more like varnish. This becomes the smell of fine oud with a little cooling, menthol-like camphor and fresh, juicy yuzu plus a lush green spikenard. This beautiful oud and yuzu comprises the majority of the wear and really is nice. It's just a matter of that gnarly first few moments that is hard to bear.
Personally, I'd probably ante up the extra $150 and buy Di Ser's fantastic Kyara for $1150/33ml.
With Sasora selling at $1000/33ml I don't think I'd want to have to deal with an opening that I can't stand. After that opening though, Sasora is every bit Kyara's equal.
Thumbs up because the beautiful kyara grade oud that comprises the majority of the wear more than makes up for that gnarly bit at the beginning. Still, for an extra $150 you can buy their Kyara and dispense with any unpleasantness.

Current notes from the brand:
Yuzu, agarwood, camphor, jatamansi (spikenard), palisander rosewood
It's overall a quite medicinal combination of camphor and spikenard, juxtaposed with a fresh blast of yuzu, and layered on top of oud. I personally love the medicinal funk in the opening. This certainly won't be to everyone's tastes, but is probably my favorite (and the most interesting) composition from the brand.
