An oriental spiced fragrance in the old manner, built without any nods to fashion.
— The opening is bitter and aromatic: the cardamom and the caraway bite, and the wormwood brings that green, aniseed freshness you find in classic eaux de toilette.
— Then the rose and the iris soften everything. Iris is the material that gives that powdery impression, a little cool, a little elegant — it is what keeps the fragrance from being just a spice box.
— The base does the real work: sandalwood, patchouli, amber, then vanilla and tonka bean for the softness. You move from a sharp beginning to a warm, comfortable ending, and that transition is the whole interest of the bottle.
Register: autumn, winter, preferably in the evening. Long wear, frank projection in the first hour.

A man's rose, and that is exactly what makes it interesting. At Rasasi, the rose is not a flower for feminine perfumery: it is a round, thick material laid over wood to keep it from being well behaved.
— The opening is unexpected: the tomato leaf brings a green note, a little sap, a little cut stem, which immediately breaks the floral side of the rose and the freesia.
— The heart firms things up with cedar and sandalwood, and the rose returns, this time backed by the wood.
— The base is the serious part: oud, leather, oakmoss. Raw, earthy material that gives the fragrance its thickness and its staying power. The kind of base that stays on a jacket.
Who it is for: someone who wants a fragrance that does not smell like what everyone else is wearing, without going off into gourmand territory. 90 ml format, and the gentlest price in the house.
Register: autumn and winter, morning or evening. Long wear, moderate projection.

This is the reference that made Rasasi known in Europe, and there is a reason: it does exactly what you expect of a modern men's fragrance, with no wrong notes.
— The opening is a fresh apple over bergamot and lemon, with a touch of cinnamon that gives it character straight away. Not a sweet fruit: a crisp fruit, with acidity.
— The heart brings orange blossom and plum, and the cardamom keeps spicing things up.
— The base arrives with its signature: ambergris and driftwood. Driftwood is that smell of wood dried by salt and sun — it is what gives the fragrance its marine side without ever turning into shower gel.
Who it is for: this is the go-anywhere fragrance in the best sense of the term. Office, weekend, wedding, all seasons.
Long wear, strong projection: it gets noticed in a room.
