Daarej by Rasasi for Men - 3.38 oz EDP Spray

Well damn.I wasn't a fan of the initial spray as it is very sweet. Very much like the spray I used to have to spray around the store when I was working for Hollister. But after 30 mins or so, it settles down into a more mature manly smell.Nevertheless, to my nostrils, the smell projection, to my nostrils, seemed to be very weak after an hour and I thought both the longevity and projection was lame and I was ready to write a scathing review.Alas, it was midway through my nightshift that one of the ladies asked me if I took a bath in aftershave looool. She said that her and another lady, fine as anything, could smell my trail from two aisles down. I was shocked because I couldn't smell anything and said maybe it was someone else, but she said when she got near me she knew it was me.So...apparently this is the type of smell which somehow anaestises ones nostrils but projects to everybody else's...i sprayed roughly around 8:30pm, and the comment came around 2am during my nightshift. That my scent was leaving a trail big enough for her to ask me if I bathed in it. So, my verdict:Comments: ladies notice it.Scent: starts off a bit sweet, youthful...it dries down down to a bit more of a fresh manly scent although you still smell the berries or whatever it is causing the sweet scent.Sillage: It's strong. Where the lady smelt my trail was from around 10m away, which is two aisles.Longevity: It lasts at the very least 6 hours and I sprayed it on neck, chest, pits, back and inner elbows (it is still on my clothes following yesterday).And the women seemed to be a lot more chatty and one little mama was a bit more flirty than usual. Maybe it was the scent or maybe it was that I was dressed a tad smarter...I dont know and don't care.

Loved Rasasi Hawas so opted to try this one after reading a few positive reviews.I'm not too sure about this one, maybe too spicy but the drydown of the fragrance is nice.Maybe it needs a month to sit and mature like most middle eastern fragrances.But the price was good, fast delivery and packed well. The bottle design is nice.

First of all, the packaging was in perfect condition. It arrived quickly and the scent did not disappoint. The bottle looked better than I had expected, quite minimalistic, nothing tacky or screamingly cheap about it, so you really don't have to hide it. The smell: I was looking for a Valentino V clone and I got it. It's heavenly, sexy, unique and smells much more expensive than its price. I am also pretty sure a woman with a taste for non-aquatic unisex could pull this off. It's a very seductive scent and I don't think that cumin is too strong but I like the note, anyway.Scent: 10/10Projection: 7.5/10Longevity: 7/10However, I immediately repurchased a back-up bottle from a different seller because after my purchase these guys increased the price. The one I repurchased was just as good.

Most amazing smell would buy again

Drydown is nice but not the opening

I've got quite a collection of Arabic perfumes, mostly Oud. This is a very nice scent. Soft, sweet, musky and comprehensively nice. It projects and has good longevity 6-10 hours. This is a unique scent. I only wear it when I'm in the best of moods as it reflects my emotion. I just know that when peeps get a wiff of this stuff they must think wow, that's different, nothing like any stuff they buy in the shops. Oriental, exotic. You can adjust this up or down 2 sprays playing safe. 3-5 up to beast mode.. I'm a pretty masculine mature guy, this leans to the masculine side though could easily a unisex scent. Two or three sprays does the trick. The best in my collection.

So ... where do I start. I've never smelt anything like this fragrance, you will either love or hate it. It's quite overpowering at first (I did get a lot of cumin projecting through from the first couple of hours). But after a couple of hours this fragrance really shines. It has monster projection for around 5hrs and overall performance lasts a good 9-10 hours. I applied some around 7am before going to work and could still smell it on my clothes when I got home 6pm (and on my skin too !). It does have a very distinct Arabic vibe to it which doesn't bother me as it stands out from the crowd of mainstream niche frags.I would definitely recommend it - for the price it's a winner, the only reason I am giving it 4 stars is the "cumin" vibe you get from the opening once first applied but this certainly calms on dry down after a couple of hours.PS. I applied some on my left hand yesterday morning 7am, got home did a 45min cardio workout sweat like crazy, showered with soap and shower gel and could still smell it on my hand this morning !

Picked up on a discount at £22.95.Quite a simple scent - powdery vanilla. Quite nice, but very linear. Projection isn't the best, and longevity is a little weak. Settles down to a skin scent in just over an hour. Good for close encounters. I wouldn't recommend this at full price though.
