Reminds me slightly of Giorgio Beverly Hills and the aforementioned Dove soap bar.
I’ve got the oil version which lasts like everyone says.I’m getting twelve good hours.
It’s quite feminine but I don’t mind that.
A good purchase.

This smells nothing like Chanel N5!!! I don’t get the comparison!!!

Given the fact that they were discounted, I bought blindly for about 20 euros (both) Afshan (eau de parfum) and Mukhallad Oud Al Mubakhar, from Rasasi. Though I like strong perfumes, I found that they have harsh opening, almost unpleasant. Afshan has a vintage vibe given by its ressemblance with old and classy Chanel 5, but it’s not similar with it. In opening, yes, Afshan do smell strong and about the same as Chanel 5. But after about a quart of hour, the dry down is awesome for both of them! Afshan transforms in something spicy and ambery/balsamic, but clean. Awesome! No doubt, I found them wearable by men w/o problems. And that’s said by a grizzled man.
Regarding the performances, unfortunatelly Afshan (eau de parfum) is not so long lasting (only 1-2 hours of tamed power), then it becomes skin scent and with medium to poor sillage. I expected more from it… On clothes is long lasting. I layered it with Mukhallat oud Al Mubakhar and the result was outstanding. Seriously, give it a try!
EDIT/UPDATE: Afshan IS a monster of longevity especially on clothes. (Attention! It stains.) And its dry down is DIVINE. Still use it layered with Mukhallat, the combination is outstanding.

Clean, soapy and a bit vintage in a very lovable way. Ylang-ylang really gives some aldehydness of the composition, the aquatic notes are also there, laundry-white synthetic musk (of a high-quality detergent) can be detected too. The silage and lasting power are rather not that enormous on me, however big enough.
It smells like pure white cotton bed sheets washed with nice neutral liquid detergent, dried outside on the Sun and taken home slightly wet just to iron them easily. Afshan has positive, simple homey vibe.

Big surprise! Rasasi sparkler !, Soap, pepper, flowers A beautiful blend of a bouquet of purity, suitable for every season, especially for a summer evening, in the winter they wrap you up like a thick winter coat. Wonderful and long-lasting! It’s so clean, creamy, woody and warm at the same time that I could drink it! Beautiful ylang-ylang perceptible. Wonderful, nothing more nothing less, 5 stars! My favorite.

This was a blind buy after reading reviews. I was excited about the promise of it smelling like a mix between a fresher Amouage Gold, Chanel No.5 and a bar of Dove soap – that combo is everything I ask for in life as I adore soapy florientals. So I’m happy to announce that Afshan by Rasasi ALMOST shot straight to my signature shelf! The only issue I have is that everyone says it’s strong but I’m not finding this. I bought it directly from Rasasi and I wish it was strong and long lasting. I give it about 10 sprays and it still doesn’t project more than 15cm or last longer than a few hours. This fragrance likes me and I like it so my skin must drink it all up.
If anyone can recommend any other similar fragrances to this, then please let me know.
Edit: I’ve just bought the 20ml oil to see if that’s stronger than the 100ml spray.
Edit 2: The oil is amazing! It has the great projection and silage that I was looking for. It has now become my everyday signature scent.

When sprayed it smells like white coccolino fabric softener, light on spices, white florals, tulip.
After 5-10m transforms into the typical white soap scent, more crisp and clean than mugler cologne. More soapy, creamier, softer. From it’s woody accord I can smell only the cedars slightly. Despite it’s softer than mugler, this is more remarkable, clearer and more distinguishable than that cologne.
My brother says this is like wunderbaum car freshener.
Lasts 6h+ with 50cm+ projection, settles to close-to skin scent for 10-12 hours. On clothes it can be smelled for more than 24h.
In skin-scent state it has a citrusy vibe.

Love it….soap and flowers.. oriental and very long lasting. NICE SWEET AND SPICY….MY FAVORITE UNISEX. GREAT BOTTLE. Namaste!
lkk557JeomiWogkig – :
One thing for sure is that it is very strong and beast mode.
The thing is it smells like cheap soap. It smells like the soap you find in third world toilets to wash your hands with. I sprayed it once and I had to smell it the whole day. I have found 1 good usage for it , which is a good bathroom sprayer after taking a number 2. I sprayed it on my shower curtain 2 days ago and I can still smell it. This is a thumbs down for me.

floral-aldehydic (probably because of ylang-ylang)…this has kind of vintage (70-80s) touch that I remember from many women´s perfumes of that era (White Linen by E. Lauder comes to my mind as one example)…but this is rather unisex and can be easily worn by men without feeling too feminine 7.25/10

I love this perfume! Soapy powdery clean scent. Elegant and sophisticated fragrance. I love Chanel N°5 and this is Chanel N°5 but in arabic interpretation. 🙂 It has a tremendous power and very very long lasting also. This perfume worth its every penny! I am happy that I own a bottle of this wonderful scent! Marvelous!

This is a white bar of creamy luxury soap, your soft fresh clothes washed with luxury detergent and yourself polished to clean perfection in fresh sheets with your sweet smelling halo of shining pureness.
Exotic white flowers, a hint of cool greens and moss, a tiny hint of creamy woods and amber, is what I smell. From close proximity I get the spices, just like when you smell a large lilly in fullbloom from up close, where you’ll get a hint of peppery spiciness too.
From a little distance you get the overall floral-creamy-soap perfection.
I tested this one blindly and was afraid to like it, because I percieved it as a fragrance of incredible quality, no harsh alcohol, round and long lasting with great projection and was utterly surprised to learn it is quite cheap! Awesome!

Very soapy scent. Reminds me of Mitsouko (but Mitsouko is better). Longevity and projection are very good. I don´t like this scent, it was a disappointment for me, it is true that it is not arabic type of scent.
sterrlockerrs – :
It reminds me of White Shoulders by Evyan (and Chanel 5) .
I think its not oriental, but a heavy, thicker floral with SOAP at the end just like White shoulders. Nice, wearable (for a mature person or who likes vintage perfumes) but im not amazed (anyway i like vintages). I expected lot of spices and arabic fragrance.
I found a new home for my bottle fortunately.
