Vasanas is a hindu philosophy concept which explains the difference in the various human personalities.
Vasanas literally in sanskrit, mean fragrance.
The layer of vasanas is the subtlest layer that is the basis of the false notion of separateness of the jiva and Brahman. It is a layer of ignorance that expresses as the sense of incompleteness, desire, agitation, and eventually, action. The smallest action we do in this world leaves its impression, its smell, on our subconscious mind. These collective imprints, or vasanas, propel us into a certain way of living. [1]
The tendency to repeat ad nauseum one's past actions - we call it vasanas. Vasana means fragrance - the fragrance of what we have done and thought of. Whatever we do and whatever we think of, they all leave impressions on us, they pressurize us to repeat ourselves. [2]
