Top 10 Rasasi fragrances Episode # 149

[@jimr880]

Rasasi is probably my favorite Middle-Eastern house and I have 28 bottles in my Scent Armory. I started my Middle Eastern journey picking-up gems from Arabian Oud and Lattafa. At the time, the ones from Arabian Oud (Kalemat, Kalemat Black, etc.) were fairly priced on the discount market...but that quickly changed. So I picked-up Raghba and all the flankers (dirt cheat and almost as awesome) but they too started to be harder to get here in the States, but still quite affordable. I then discovered Rasasi and have been buying these and inexpensive clones from Armaf. The Armaf frags are okay, but no where near the quality of Rasasi...and these too are readily available and generally quite affordable. Anyway, top notch list: Here are my favorites: 1. Rasasi Hawas - I'm on my 6th bottle...better suited for the younger lads, as you mentioned, but it's a compliment magnet...especially from the young ladies agest 18-28. I'm a physically fit older gentleman, and waitresses will come up to me and ask what I'm wearing with my girlfriend sitting next to me. And we're surrounded by the scent of food so this fragrance is beastly for a freshie. 2. Rasasi La Yuqawam Jasmine Wisp - I love this fragrance on my girlfriend and it will drop by boxers. LOL! 3. Rasasi La Yuqawam Tobacco Blaze - asky brandy tobacco...without tobacco...brilliant release by Rasasi. 4. Rasasi La Yuqawam Pour Homme - a Tuscan Leather clone, but it's much more wearable than the Tom Ford. Excellent!!! 5. Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal - could easily slap a Maison Francis Kurkdjian or Roja Dove label on this one. Love it!!! 6. Rasasi Hawas For Her - I just love this one on the girlfriend. 7. Rasasi Khaltat Al Oudh - similar to Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule, but better. Very under-rated IMO. 8. Rasasi Maa Arwaak for Him - Very unique, yet not flashy, but I just love it for whatever reason. 9. Rasasi Daarej for Men - I didn't care for that cumin note at first...but warmed-up to it after a while. 10. Rasasi Sotoor Taa and Waaw (tie) Love or like these (and great clones) but not all that original so I couldn't put 'em in the Top 10: Rasasi Attar Al Mohobba - really nice...but kinda has that 1 Million DNA going on Rasasi La Yuqawam Femme - really nice Black Orchid clone...but it can't touch the original. Rasasi Al Wisam Day - solid Silver Mountain Water clone Rasasi Entebaa - Silver Mountain Water meets blackberry wine. Um...didn't like it as much as Al Wisam Day. Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi Crocodile Pour Lui - Dior Sauvage clone, perhaps, but darker/spicier fragrance. Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi Leo Pour Lui - some Amouage Jubilation Man similarities at the open (very nice!) Rasasi Rumz Al Rasasi Zebra Pour Lui - one of the best Creed Aventus clone out there, and excellent performance. One's that I feel are under-rated...just because I like 'em: * Rasasi Jaish - wood, cedar wood, sawdust, and more wood. I just like it. One's I didn't like: * Rasasi Tasmeem - it's okay, but I was disappointed since this one was hyped a bit * Rasasi Yazan - I need to revisit this one because it was very strange to me. * Rasasi Shuhrah Pour Homme - in a nutshell, Rasasi took Tobacco Blaze and mixed it with a bunch of over-ripe fruit. Kinda interesting, but also kinda repulsive. * Rasasi La Yuqawam Orchid Prairie - synthetic orchid and band-aid = big disappointment. * Rasasi La Yuqavam Ambergris Showers - I didn't like this one, but perhaps I'll warm up to it. I still have to try Rasasi WOW Woody (been on my to buy list, but hard to find over here). I am also wanting to try/buy the Junoon and Boruzz lineups. Thanks for the info on Dhanal Oudh Nashwah...I'm look at it passively, but nobody covers this one *SO* imagine my surprise to find out this one smells similar to Fumerie Turque, which I have been wanting for years and years. Cheers!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Great comment Jim, I am sure this will help a lot of people. Quite like your top tean and would love to try Tobacco Blaze, as I have never smelled it and I am definately setting my eyes on Khaltat Al Oud. . Have you tried any others from Lattafa? I have heard Dirham Oud by Ard al Zafran (?) is very good. Might have to blind buy that one. I recently blind bought Ashaar by Rasasi and that is quite a good Oud based fragarnce, still the Jury is out on that one.

[@umbaipscpscperwad401]

iLove you my rassasi

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

hahahah, we all do bro :).

[@jimr880]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Sorry for not replying, but I didn't see this comment until now...can you review Ashaar because that one has been on my scent radar for a while. The Ard al Zafran perfumes are not easy to come by here in the States, but I did manage to pick up Ard Al Zafaran Shaikh Al Oud, Ard Al Zaafaran/Al Zaafran Land Oud Sharqia, and Ard Al Zaafaran Oud Isphahan/Ishpahan back in 2014/5 and like or love all three. Besides, being hard to find they were not listed in Fragrantica and the spelling of the names is questionable because the writing is in Arabic and I've been them spelled many ways. I would love to explore more from this house, but I gave up because they were so difficult to find and such little information is posted about them.

[@jimr880]

​@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Also, I just checked and noticed Fragrantica lists five (5) of their perfumes, yet I see dozens listed on middle eastern shopping sites. Too bad online sites like Souq.com don't ship to the US or I would have ordered dozens more from Lattafa, Arabian Oud, Ard Al Zaafaran and others. For example, back in 2015 I was really wanting to try the house of Al Musbah (which I guess are widely available and reasonably priced in Saudi Arabia) but are hard to find here and/or too expensive for a blind buy: Al Musbah Intense Oudh. Al Musbah Mujallad 1, Al Musbah Prince of Musk, and Al Musbah Prince of Oudh. Also, here are some others that I had placed on my wish list (2015) but couldn't find (mostly) or at a reasonable price: Ard Al Zafaran Rilisat Oshaq , Asayel Al Oud Masakom Oud, Lattafa Al Azra. Are you familiar with any of these?

[@AmitSharma-cg7qr]

I would like to share my bit about Rasasi, I have a friend who works for Rasasi in Dubai. They are a world class organisation and have state of the art perfume processing plants. They are even better than a lot of so called designer houses as they are just putting a label on the fragrances and a manufacturer like Rasasi actually produces them. A Brand which is only in perfumes will produce better fragrances compared to the one who are into everything like shoes, bags and other accessories. 😊😊😊 Great Intuitive video once again AC.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

That's a brilliant insight Amit, thank you. I am so pleased to learn that their facilities are world beaters but they never shout about it. This humility is evident in many walks of life when it comes to eastern philosophy ... everything seems to be measured by western standards when it comes to production facilities, but it shouldn't be. I have massive respect for this house and for a good reason.

[@sulaimanjalloh]

I enjoy your reviews, and this is the second one I've watched. You do justice to the fragrances and give a fair, balanced, and practical perspective to each of them. I appreciate that you're fully informed about Middle Eastern and Western fragrances and that you recognize the nuances between similar productions. You tell it as it is with truth and honesty, and no facade, fanfare, or pretenses. Just by this review, I've already placed three of the items in a cart as we speak....thank you.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Nice one Suleiman, which ones did you go for my friend. Most appreciate your kind words for me, thank you !

[@sulaimanjalloh]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews I watched your review about the Aventus contenders (I'm glad you just didn't relegate them to being clones), and thus I'm acquiring "Rumz Al Rasasi Pour Lui", "Al Wisam Day", "Boruzz Abeer Malasiya", and "Dhan Al Oudh Nashwah". I also plan on getting from your 10 complimented designer fragrances: Aqua Di Parma Colonia Intensia, Bvlgari Man In Black Essence, and Dior Homme Intense. What I love about the way you reviewed the complimented 10 is that you gave your impressions of the effect of the fragrance on you and others. That tells me that the perfumery's artistry did hit the mark and that your subjective taste concurred. I think we have similar tastes.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Brilliant picks Sulaiman, I have a feeling you will like all of them :)

[@SkyDiverTO]

Daarej, Enteba and Hawas are my faves especially Daarej.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Unfortunately, i havent tried Dareej and Enteba but Hawas is pretty good :). Thanks for watching :)

[@aromafromheaven]

Great video..I appreciate Rasasi so much

[@bikazful]

Who else here finds Shuhrah is the must underated Rasasi fragrance?? I got quite a few of them and here is my top 4 1- La Yuqawam 2- Shuhrah 3- Zebra 4- Hawas

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Great Choices, yes I have to sample Shurah myself properly.

[@briangrossett3381]

I have Rasasi Daarej and Rasasi Tasmeem. I love them. Daarej is for dates and evening wear and Tasmeem is for daytime. Daarej gives me a D&G the one vibe, although they are difderent, but ive never smelled anything similar to Tasmeem.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Nice one Brian, I am going to have to try them both now :).

[@veritasvincit2745]

I like these two as well, Brian. They're great. Daarej doesn't last brilliantly on me although it's by no means an under performer for me. Tasmeem lasts forever on me by contrast. I tend to wear them at opposite times to you. Tasmeem during the evening and Daarej during the day. Best wishes!

[@briangrossett3381]

[@pakscents3429]

My current favourite from Rasasi is Fattan pour homme, which emulates Terre d Hermes. It also solves the performance issues, I traditionally have with Rasasi. Nevertheless, love your endeavours, stay blessed.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Hassan. i have actually never liked TdH so I think I will stay away from Fattan :)). I am surprised to hear that you have performance issues with Rasasi!

[@toruad4263]

Love this list The house is very formidable La Yuquawan Pour Homme is a personal favorite. Need to try some others.

[@jaimejimenez4715]

I agree, Hawas is a great performer and in my opinion much better than Invictus. It can make a great spring and summer scent and can actually work year round if you live in a warm climate. Enteba is also a very nice fragrance.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

I agree James, its a real all weather versatile fragrance. theres another one I would recommend, and that is Dunhill Icon, if you haven't already got it in your collection.

[@Christian-rt3kg]

I actually purchased Dhan Al oud Naswah from your review. I am glad I did! I never would have tried it otherwise. You are 100% accurate in your description AC! At first, I get that skanky smell in the opening, I can see it turning off a few folks who would judge it just for by the opening. Once I got past that initial dirty/skanky oud, this fragrance blossomed into an absolutely beautiful scent. By the way, why does this fragrance have that skankiness in the begging? What is causing it to smell that way? I've never actually smelled a fragrance like that. Thanks again for the fantastic reviews!!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Hi Christian , I am delighted you went for Dahnal Oud Nashwah mate, its compared to Fumerie Turque which is a critically acclaimed fragrance. I adore Naswah and still think its the best Rasasi out there. That skank is the Oud in it I think as only Oud smells skanky in my view, a bit similar to the Oud note in Tobacco Oud by Tom Ford I suppose.

[@noblemonarch6431]

When its Rasasi, rest assured about the quality , fragrance duration and price, the very best in luxurious fragrances., favourite of the masses.

Haha yes Sir, it’s supposed to be similar to Oud Ispahan which I have but according to Me this is much more deeper, thicker and darker also longer lasting and head turner.Also Atheer Cambodia is compliment magnet to the core.perhaps the most distinguished scent on this planet

Simply too much of a powerhouse but I've learnt how to appreciate and wear it now.

Super great review Ac. thx for your review about Rasasi Al Wissam Day. I did check around to find it and I did finally did( it is so difficult to find these kinds of scents in Sweden otherwise), and ordered it , just waiting to see how it is, of course, I do trust you bro*****. Have a rocking day.cheers

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Oh nice one Amir, I am hoping you enjoy Al Wissam Day mate, its really a very good fragrance. Bro, You have been with me since I was 20 subs down, how does it feel to cross 6K ? Thanks for your support man :)

[@sarthbhati9430]

What about Rasasi Daarej???

[@Shukrana_Universe]

Amazing List Sir as usual, My favourite house and my favourites being Asrar Indonesia, Atheer Cambodia and Rooh Al Assam

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

i have never smelled Rooh Al Assam but I have heard that its Pran, Prem Chopra, Danny and Shakti Kapoor in the same bottle. Is that right?

[@GlennMartin]

Pour Lui Zibra is a much higher quality clone of Creed Aventus, CDNIM is so synthetic I don't like it, this has the smooth high quality pineapple that you want. Last just as long as CDNIM. Al Wissam Day is as good as you mention it my man, very well made, was a little too rosey at first but don't get it anymore. La Yuqawam is a beast, two sprays that's it, Tuscan Leather done even better. Hawas: compliment monster, panty dropper. Anyone recommend another Rasasi?

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Wait for my part 2 Glenn :)).

Geranium is used as a substitute for Rose in most western Oud and Rose combination...

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Not necessarily, Geranium has its own merits from its scent profile and various facets it provides, which makes it pretty usable on its own merit rather than being a substitute for Rose.

[@anthonygomes3751]

Which is the BEST Rasasi line: A very strong male perfume which has a blend of Oudh/Fruity/Citrussy...

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Hi Anthony, I would say Rasasi Ashaar, Dahn Al oud Nashwah ( my number 1) , Dahn Al oudh Nokhba and Oud Al mubakhar.

Great List! Al Wisam Day has given me a lot of joy in summer and compliments as well. Have you tried Shurah? Thinking of blind buying it

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thanks. I have a sample of Shurah but never tried it. If you thinking of blind buying then I can highly recommend Shaghaf, thats a brilliant scent. Its based on Shurah but better composition some say. i own it and I love it!

[@pauldean493]

You mention, was it the top fragrance or 2nd, you say it is ' powdery'. What DOES that mean ??!! I haven't a clue. Just bought some Rasasi Oud Al Mubakhar, it's not like any fragrance I've ever used or smelt before, it's got me hooked !!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

wow glad you are hooked to this one Paul. By powdery I mean it smells a bit like the Talcum powers of the bygone days :)

nice top 10, i am missing shuhrah though. Btw this shirt suits you very well, may i ask where did you buy it? :) I would like to buy one myself :)

[@sandsmine]

must try a brand like this soon that is somewhat outside the department store circle. what web site would you recommend to order rasasi from. cheers

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Hi John, depends on your location. If you are in the Uk or Europe I think Notino is the best option. Ebay private sellers also offer competitive pricing on them.

[@myobplease1]

Excellent review. Thank you! Rasasi fragrances really are wonderful. I started my experience with La Yuqawam and recently bought Khaltat Al Khasa and Faqat Lil Rijal which I love. Honestly there doesnt seem much point in Western fragrances with their poor performance and rip off prices. You called Faqat Lil Rijal skanky however can you recommend something even skankier? I want more skank!!

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Thank you Adrian :). the Skankiest Oud I have smelled is Oud Caravan No3 by Profumo.it. Mind you it develops beautifully!

[@myobplease1]

@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews thank you! I'll check out Oud Caravan No 3 for sure. The first time I sprayed Faqat I thought I'd made a terrible mistake buying it. Now my nose is more experienced with oud I can't believe what a bargain this amazing fragrance is.

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

Oh Yes mate, Faqat is a big fragrance, and Oud definitely takes a long time to get tuned into. You have done very well mastering it I think.

[@Papikristo]

Good man. Are these fragrances available in the UK? Which can I use that is a combo of woody, oriental and spicy ?

[@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews]

They are mate, check ebay. Try the number 1 its the best in my opinion. I have also done a full review of it.

Hey AC! Great video as usual. My latest bottle of CDNI (2020 batch) is so watered and the performance is not the same than previous one (a batch of 2018). According to your knowledge, which is the best clone of Aventus in terms of quality and projection? Rasasi Pour Lui Zebra or Al Haramain L’Aventure / L’Aventure Intense? Thanks so much and keep doing this great job!

[@satyajeetdharmadhikari2574]

La Yuqawam is a clone of Tuscan Leather but very expensive for a clone

Hey There AC!!! Have you tried Rasasi Qasamat Bareeq which is also a clone BR540? Will you do a review of this one and compare it to Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge? I would love your take on them...

Sir can u suggest the best office wear from the house of rasai budget is below 3000

Tuscan leather?,you sure mate,thought it was a clone of Ombre Leather,

[@Shukrana_Universe]

But I still love Asrar Indonesia the most in this world... sir how would you rate qasamat Morhaf and qasamat ebhar of Rasasi... about Rooh Al Assam you won’t be disheartened according to me, sexy, sensual and seductive and way better than Oud Ispahan and Oud Palao, the latter being better than Oud Ispahan as Oud note is prominent in Oud palao

Munish, thank you for the recommendations. I could not find Ebhar but just purchased Morhaf :). Cant wait to smell it and then review it.
