Smells like indian food to me.
Cumin is so strong! Mostly what i get.
Selling it.
edik_kostyuk – :
Beautiful scent. Goes from spicy sweet to creamy, masculine dessert. Had a mighty fragrance haul recently for winter with Jacques Bogart Pour Homme, Ted Lapidus Pour Homme Black Extreme, Ted Lapidus Pour Homme, Thierry Mugler Pure Tonka, Boucheron pour homme and Armaf Hunter Intense.
This is the winner. Great feedback from everyone I know. Strong, delicious crowd pleaser.
german666 – :
This one is a good performer for winter and cold place. However if you are living in a hot places or countries I would suggest avoid this one. Unless you are going to use this one as office scent with indoor and air condition.
It stills have a high performance but cloying and give a headache vibes to those around you especially in a public transportation.
sprinter_man – :
Really good fragance, been trying it for about 2 weeks and I’ve got compliments from it and also I liked it from the first sniff.
It is very sweet but sexy, pretty good for a close encounter at night with the girl you like and you want something to happen this night.
Longevity: 9/10
Silleage: 8/10
Scent: 9/10
Versatility: 4/10
Worth blind buy? hell yes
elias – :
Another banger from Rasasi. This is one of my dumb reaches for fall/winter. Performs and projects all day it seems like. Fantastic scent at an amazing price.
What more could you ask for?
bob-odessa – :
Wow, I’m surprised! Smells unique. Smells expensive… for € 21,00 …
I’m wearing this stuff today for the first time. It’s so damn unique that I can’t believe it costs only 21 euro’s.
Keywords: unique, sexy, warm, winter. Super easy blind buy.
napal3 – :
How is it: Bought a third bottle. Although I am still on second one. This one is a gem and I want to have it with me always. I carry it with me wherever I travel. It smells rich! So rich! Although it is linear but I love its smell.
Performance: Perfect! Lasts really long, lasts all day. Projection is really good because you keep smelling it on yourself all day long. Although its not beastly but well you do not want a perfume like this to shout like 1 million or Eros. This perfume is perfect in the way it smells and in the way it projects and yes, lasts easily all day long. (I stay in Gujarat, India and when I say it lasts all day long, this means this is beast in longevity and perfect projection.)
Compliments: This one is going to get ample of compliments. I have received many on many occasions. (I do apply it in office as well since I love the smell although one might not wear it in office and when I come back home after such a long busy day, she could still smell it from arms length distance and she loves it.)
Verdict: You must give it a shot. Can be blind bought. You can go ahead with any batch truly. 2nd and 3rd bottle I have is of 2018 itself.

1973ut2010 – :
Blind bought this due to how extremely cheap it is and the good reviews.
Absolutely gorgeous fragrance which they could’ve easily charged more for.
The opening is seductive and warm, and then it transitions into a sugary sweet scent. I wish the opening would last a bit longer though.
konstantin_474747 – :
Daarej, the rebel cousin of aristocratic Tasmeem…
Bought blindly, following reviews on various internet sites, the Rasasi Daarej. I will compare it with my last previous, also blindly purchase, its cousin Rasasi Tasmeem. The presentation is rather poorer than Tasmeen’s: a box without personality, an ordinary bottle with a plastic cap. If Tasmeem has an aristocratic appearance, Daarej looks rather spartan.
The juice inside the bottle is nice, sweet enough to be almost at the limits of my tolerance. The sweetness of Daarej by Rasasi is much more pronounced, but still not cloying or nauseaous. Spicy, but less than Tasmeem. It’s a well blended perfume. It’s discreet, but it seems strong than Tasmeem thanks to its sweetness. The opening is better than the drydown, IMHO, because at drydown the sweetness became even harder. The late drydown, otoh, is awesome: it loses the sweetness and became ambery, similar to Baldessarini Ambre, one of my favourites. Vast majority of people say it’s similar to Valentino V. I never smelled V, but I can say that Daarej is a very good perfume, despite its sweetness. It’s in the today’s trends, it can be wore by young people in various situations. Though I like it, for me Tasmeem it’s much classy and refined. Anyway, both of them are awesome and they shouldn’t miss from perfume lovers collections.
Smell 10/10
Longevity 8/10
Sillage 8/10
Overall 9/10, highly recommended!
foxxx666 – :
I bought it from souq.com for only 14 USD, it was a blind buy on various YouTube reviews, but i fell in love with this fragrance,in winter it has beast mode longevity i applied it on my shawl and i could fell its sweetness after 2 days believe me or not, opening is masculine, after 30 minutes it will turn into a sweet yet masculine… Love it.. A must buy in 14 bucks
andrej160485 – :
I find it odd that nobody has been talking about the harsh opening (maybe only to my nose?). I guess its the cumin but i really struggle with the opening. So much actually that i thought i might got a fake/bad bottle. I like it after 10 minutes or so.
bubkin19751105 – :
It’s just gorgeous perfume .. l just bought it and I loved it.
ygd621Diobtetty – :
I LOVE this!!! A very sexy fragrance that smells like a sweeter grapey-er version of Opulent Shaik Classic No 77 at a fraction of the cost!
And yes… a sort of sweet grape-ish powder smell that is freakin sexy!!! Almost like a suave Welch’s Grape juice purple candy powder. Longlasting AND good sillage. Every time I wear this I get compliments!! A must have!!!! Perfect for going out on dates, clubbing, intimate… males and females have complimented me on this every time I wear it. Thank you Rasasi!!! Excellent!!! 🙂 Trust me!! Get this!! You won’t be disappointed.

(“daarej” means “slang”)
I refuse to pay €200~€250 for one of the remaining Valentino V for Men bottles still on sale in the Amazon or E-Bay channels.
Last year I bought I bought Rasasi’s Daarej. I trusted Rasasi’s to make decent perfumes, and, based on some reviews and the note list, I blind bought Daarej for men. I was hoping it to be a nice above average sweet fragrance and maybe – just maybe – have a vibe that would make me remember Valentino V.
It’s 95% similar to V and with an excellent projection and longevity. I am still not at ease to write 99%, but I can say…. “It’s BANG ON on V..
I even think that Rasasi Daarej is a bit smoother, and I like it that way. The 100 ml flask costed me 20 Euros in a local through the net distributor. I already used half of the flask juice, and I am going to buy a backup bottle in my next order.
Daarej – along with Fattan por Homme – is surely the best non oud fragrance of Rasasi.
The journey starts with a strong but distinguished cumin and cardamom blast, and with a touch or artemisia. After this promising start the dominant cumin/cardamom accord slowly unveils some rose and Iris with a bit of smoke similar to the one found in other arabic perfumes (a non listed orris root note for sure).
A couple of minutes later you start to feel some fougére and wood, but a second dominance towards the sweet scent, is developing: An astonishing musky combo of vanilla, tonka and enveloping amber marks the signature of this fragrance..
The vanilla/tonka dry down it’s a real head turner and it does last for more than 8 hours. Sillage up to 6 feet is slightly above average, and it projects for two hours or so.
Let’s check the math for Rasasi Daarej:
Scent Opening: 9.0 (my judgement; divine cardamom/cumin combo)
Scent Dry Down: 10.0 (my judgement; you pray for the velvety vanilla/tonka heavenly scent never to go away)
Longevity: 9.0 (2 good sprays may last 8+ hours, usualy close to 10 hours)
Sillage: 8.0 (up to 6 feet at its peak with just 2 sprays; projects for 2.0 hours)
Uniqueness: 7.5 (As Valentino V was released before Daarej, I discount 2.5 points. With the discontinuation of V, Daarej has become virtually unique in the market)
Wearability: 8.5 (A three seasons scent for both outdoor or indoor, day or night; just avoid the summer hot days)
Versatility: 8.5 (An “all around” versatile fragrance that will make feel like very well dressed Italian man from Milan)
Compliments: 8.5 (This fragrance is very close to a compliment magnet; it’s an above average alluring pleaser)
Quality: 9.0 (Above average quality, quality ingredients, nice flask, nice sprayer)
Presentation: 7.0 (no faults, elegant flask in a glass strong black color and a good metal cap. Tacky box.)
Price: 9.0 (100 ml non tester for € 20.00)
Overall rating: 8.55/10.00
Advice: This gem is highly recommended. If you are looking for a very attractive, versatile and inexpensive perfume, you will find one with Daarej.
With a Lalique made flask, Morillas or Polge as perfumists and the name of Tom Ford, Hermés or YSL in the label, Daarej wouldn’t be an inexpensive hidden gem any longer. It would be a well known expensive gem.
I also do recommend this fragrance for 2 reasons more:
1) All people longing for Valentino V don’t need to look any further.
2) All the people not knowing Valentino V but possible customers of a fantastic Oriental Spicy fragrance should try and buy Daarej.
In summary, ou should just blind buy Rasasi Daarej (for 20 Euros) because it is an amazing oriental spicy sweet fragrance independently of being similar of Valentino V or not.
Antectnah – :
Smooth and sweet, pleasant but unfortunately smells cheap and doesn’t last more than 3 hrs. Yet, it is good deal for its price (15$)
ing52 – :
dsdhanasekar … I totally disagree with you .. there is nothing similar between them !
Xeroxluanx – :
The distinct cumin note is not for me. Some reviewers have noted not smelling the cumin. I think if you have a sensitive nose, you smell the cumin, and it smells really out of place with the vanilla/tonka.
tutamasdj – :
It smells great. However, on me it really doesn’t last at all. Six sprays and it is still gone within 1/2 hour. I can get a slight trace of that caramel thing really close to my skin, but nobody else notices it. This clearly doesn’t match the experience that others are reporting. I don’t know if it is the batch, or the weather, or my skin. Disappears just as quickly on paper.
Candypoeth5 – :
Masterpiece
shabo – :
I actually found this to have more character and smells nicer the Rochas Man. This lasts longer too. Daarej is an excellent sweet, caramel, spicy and vanilla perfume – it really is an absolute steal for the price folks!
8999 – :
it is gourmand perfume, it smells like chocolate cake sweet bitter but in very low quality. i advice you not to waste your money, buy roshas man instead
Iyrii – :
BLIND BUY SUCCESS
Mine just landed and is a MILDER VERSION OF ISSEY MIYAKE NOIR AMBRE (you can even say Kalemat Oud) ….
Both Issey Miyake & Kalemat Oud are potent , this is very mild infront of both & doesn’t give you headache and you can wear it to office & still enjoy the scent for whole day .
LOVE IT 4.5/5 for me .
klmn555 – :
OMG for the price this is an absolute steal. It’s a very seductive sweet fragrance.to me it kinda smells like a warm sugary rose, and it last for a long time.
10/10
Felol – :
This is very similar to Valentino V it is so strong and it lasted more than a week, it is one of the the strongest colognes that I ever had this was so strong that when I was wearing the same outfit the one that I applied this on, that same smell was already there and I was very surprised about that by the way I left the house without applying more fragrance on it. Nothing is sweeter than buying fragrances that are long lasting and that you don’t have to worry about not smelling anything shortly after applying your fragrance.. I will buy myself another one for sure
genafon – :
Superb juice! Intoxicating from the first spray and only gets better! It gives me the same “feeling” that I get when I wear D&G Pour Homme or Bond Bleeker Street…..I’m NOT saying that this smells anything like those, but they evoke the same emotion at least for me. Very mature in it’s wear. I think after first spray not everyone will love it, so wait maybe half an hour if you’re expecting the most positive reactions.
hmj427speagoessenda – :
Elegant , sexy long lasting perfume in good price. Nice job Rasasi
Niolay – :
I blind bought it due to a YouTube review. I can only smell it at the time of spraying, after a little while there is nothing!!!
I learnt one thing though, never blind buy, no matter how good the reviews are…..
islam-kadi – :
I am comparing this to my old bottle of Valentino V below.
Valentino V is more musky (white musk), hence the soapy powdery notes that I can appreciate more than with Daarej. Valentino V is also sweeter and projects more. On the other hand, Daarej has very good lasting power but less projection, it is also more fresh than Valentino V.
Daarej feels related to this decade, whereas Valentino V is more last decade. This might be due to changes in my own bottle of Valentino V over time that make it smell more musky.
In terms of similarity, I would say it’s probably 90% similar to Valentino V , and most people will not notice the difference unless they have very sensitive olfactive buds.
sokol24 – :
Love this! Starts out spicy (cardamon and cumin both make their appearance), but clean. It then mellows to a more vanilla note with a cologne-like (for lack of a better adjective) undercurrent that keeps it fresh and that I find very appealing. great longevity. Does lean towards night and cooler months, but could be worn in the office if you are easy on the sprayer.
avkolpov – :
Pls dnt blind buy this. Young guys looking fr panty dropper fragrance – THIS S NT WAT U looking FOR!! sample a 5ml decant then purchase!! Fr me this smells like burnt rubber in dry down!! Projection fr 1 hour, skin scent 3 hrs!! * avoid *
5strannik – :
It opens very sweet for my nose (a little too sweet), but within 30mins it calms down and is reaaaaally lovely. I love its balsamic creaminess. Color is much better than on this photo here. I would say is kind of unisex (but still more on male side). Very strong scent, I can smell it all day long on my clothes. Better for night than day, but i guess you can do both. Definitely for cooler weather, i cant even imagine it sweetness in high temperatures. I actually like it better than my F black By Ferragamo (but still close, both are great for the price). Good for all ages, probably best for 18-40 🙂
fedea bivol – :
It’s not groundbreaking but worth every penny. As mentioned many times it’s very fresh, sweet and clean – and it doesn’t change much from the initial spray to dry down – which I think makes a good office/daily scent.
For the price it’s safe for blind buy, and can be worn easily without offending anyone.
Also, as a Rose hater, I do not get any rose in this or it’s well-blended or hidden behind other notes. Sandalwood and light vanilla makes good base on this one, and the sharp opening that lasts for few minutes should not scare you. Also knowing people don’t prefer Cumin too much in frags, you can safely buy this. In the end the majority of the cycle is blended with sandalwood, musk vanilla and I think the fresh feeling coming from artemisia and cardamom.
postman-ptz – :
I saw many reviews of it. But i didn’t toke it seriously. One day i went to the mall and tried this. And the smell of this was unbelievable for me. Really? Why it’s so cheap. Nice sweet masculine smell. I bought this. It was about smell.
Now longevity. I live in malaysia. It’s too hot here. We hardly can get 5-6 hours from perfumes. So i sprayed it at evening time. You believe it or not it last on me about 10-12 hours. And when i woke up at morning, it was there. Longevity is mind blowing. Projection is not superb like sauvage or others but good soft projection. I love this perfumes. I think girls who like sweet fragrance, will like this. Who are looking for a good fragrance in a budget should get this. I love this perfume.
This is my first comment in fragrantica. This perfume forced me to give this comment. It’s my honest opinion for those who think too much to buy a perfume. I m also one of them. So guys just buy it.
rmax – :
I just got this juice yesterday,it was a blinde buy based on some ytube reviews. For me it was a hit. Smell nice, project more than decent and the silage is also decent. Price was around 20$ on notino. Is a sweet masculin fragrance perfect for winter time.
filins – :
Well I bought this based on reviews. I can say from currently wearing it that it does smell a bit dated. There is something intriguing me that smells modern about it but it smells like something I know It’s Elizabeth Taylor for men. It’s also a bit feminine I’m disappointed by that. It does have good performance with great sillage. The reviewer below was correct it is similar to ultrared also desire. You can overlook this
rozzziiiccckkas – :
Daarej is a very nice gragrance! I´m suprised by the quality of this juice! I was i blind buy…but a safe one! I´m glad i did this blind buy! I wore this fragrance yesterday and today i´m wearing once again. I think the dry downis similar than one of my favourite and discontinued fragrance of all time: Paco Rabanne UltraRed! In my opinion, there are notes in this fragrance that reminds me Ultrared!
I don´t think this fragrance is similar to Tasmeem! This one´s more spicy and that initial cumin note gives my strong headache!
sergej_lesko – :
I purchased a bottle of Daarej long ago (late 2014/early 2015) before the hype and endless comparisons to Valentino V. Back then, I felt Daarej opened on a left-foot with a strange combination of cardamon, artemisia and cumin. While I do love the note of cardamom in fragrance, the cumin quickly takes over and it is a little unsettling for those not used to cumin…or even those who are. Moreover, I occasionally detect a slight bit of a grape-soda vibe – but not always.
Thankfully the cumin note fades away after 15-minutes or so and what’s left in the drydown is an herbally-spiced vanilla that is slightly woody, aromatic and definitely powdery. Definitely a better Fall/Winter scent, which projects moderately and lasts an honest 7-8 hours on my skin. I felt it was an okay fragrance, but I definitely didn’t love this one. Additionally, I feel asleep while wearing Daarej and developed a mild skin rash/irritation. So be careful not to keep this one on your skin too long since either the strong cumin accord or something mossy may cause a very slight irritation if worn too long.
Fast-forward a couple years and I do enjoy wearing Daarej from time-to-time, but it is not a favorite and I have never received a compliment while wearing this scent…but it is definitely a quality fragrances that is affordably priced. I finally received a .5ml samples of Valentino V from a fragrance friend so…yes, to me Daarej is extremely similar (not identical) to V. In fact, I actually preferred Daarej over my rather small sample of the infamous Valentino so there is no need for the vast majority of folks to spend insane prices on a rancid used-bottle of V from an untrusted eBay seller. Heck, if you’re buying a decant on eBay there is a greater than 50% you’re getting a decant of Daarej – so just buy a bottle of Daarej for $25 and give it away if you don’t like or love it.

capcarapa – :
To be honest, this fragrance is really seductive and projects really well. I’ve had a couple compliments already. People can smell it from a good distance. And let me tell too cheap (price) for the quality and for being an EDP. First time I tried it, I thought the smell disappear after an hour, but the compliments I got (as mentioned before) were approx. 2-4 hours afterwards. I really recommend this one from the house of rasasi. By the way I just join this community of frag heads. This is my first comment ever.
Farogyt – :
1 Word: GORGEOUS
7thsq – :
Spicy and deep. It’s hard for me to pull apart notes here. Spicy, moderately loud, but not a clubbing scent. More classy and mature. Feels like higher quality ingredients were used even if that’s almost certainly not true based on its price. Definitely western in its smell, like from an American or European designer house.
Average longevity on my skin (4-6 hours) with good projection for an hour. Surprised it didn’t last longer based on how dense it smells initially.
An 8.0/10 for me. Worth seeking out and usually under $30.
llp659speagoessenda – :
I’ll start by saying I give this fragrance a 10/10. It has BEAST longevity, pretty good projection and the scent itself is divine. I never smelled Valentino V, but this Daarej is a fantastic signature scent.
It is sweet without being childish. Vanilla and tonic are what I smell most but the vanilla is edged with kind of incense I can’t put my finger on. It smells seductive and sensual. I went with six sprays (2 under my shirt, 2 on my neck and 1 behind each ear) but the smoothness of the consistency meant that it wasn’t cloying.
I danced with a woman that couldn’t stop nuzzling me because she was intoxicated by this scent. It makes me smell sophisticated. Nothing makes me feel more confident than when I KNOW I smell great and unique. It makes me stand a bit taller.
I’m immediately buying a backup bottle of this because I never want to run out. This will be my go-to ‘going out’ scent.

I’m telling you guys, grab yourselves a few bottles of this while it’s still cheap, in Canada it’s 35$ a bottle, this one is a big time winner in my opinion!!! great longevity and projection. Beats a lot of more expensive fragrances out there!! very good price quality ratio.
Xeroxoyjoo – :
I was not expecting this to be sooooo good.
10/10
duzer – :
To add……This really grows on you – it’s addictive and it has a powerful and lovely silage. Will get this one again when I run out. Daarej is in my top 25 of all fragrances.
3cheaphotelsu – :
This smells like a unisex fragrance that leans more towards the feminine side.
It’s a little chemical for the first minute, then opens up with pretty, sweet spices and vanilla. It tends slightly towards sickly sweet, like spilled fruit juice left to dry.
Over the first hour, it develops some creamy powdery notes. They intermingle in a way that smells almost exactly like the soft plastic parts of girls’ dolls.
Scent: 5/10 (pleasant enough thoughout but too feminine for a pour homme perfume)
Sillage: 7/10 (moderate for 2 hours then gently recedes, which suits the character of the scent)
Longevity: 7/10 (around 7 hours)
Conclusion: It makes me feel like an old lady.
KOSS25 – :
I just sprayed this on a piece of paper. I then sprayed Valentino V on another piece of paper. They are very close. The only thing that I can smell different is that this does not contain pink pepper. Still its close that if you love Valentino V then this is a great substitute.
igor24 – :
Rich fragrance with oriental notes. Long lasting on my skin, more inexpensive than other fragrances that don’t have the performance of this one… 10/10. Good work Rasasi.
orlandoche – :
I blind bought this fragrance to try a Rasasi scent for the first time and because it was really cheap (19 €).
So far only tried it once.
It’s amazing. It’s outstanding. It’s worthy every cent.
The vanilla/tonka dry down it’s a real head turner.
I should have bought 2 flasks….
What a great FRAGRANCE
nik2702 – :
There’s no sugarcane in the notes? but what all I figured out there’s a blend of vanilla, cardamom, lavender and sugarcane. It’s good in its own way cannot relate it with any other perfume and if you must want me to relate it with some perfume so you can have a basic idea then I’ll name “Versace, The Dreamer” Yes, When Dreamer settles down after three hours that seems little same to the “Daarej” at some point — Well, the longevity is hardly three to four hours and silage is also moderate. But in this price it’d be considered a gem!
sergua – :
What a great Vanilla based inexpensive fragrance it is. Now if you are not fond of middle eastern sweet fragrances, dont just blind buy it. Give it a try first. I am not usually into these kind of fragrance and i tested it twice on shops before actually buying one and trust me you are not going to find such a good fragrance in 15$ Only.
The top notes are pure vanilla and Cumin after which sandalwood and Amber kicks in which dries down with musk, patchouli and Tonka bean.
The Silage and Longevity is Amazing as i gets loud 6 to 8 hours on me followed by light 3 to 4 hours.
A Spring/Winter Night Scent for Date or formal events.
Its a 7.5 Out of 10 for me considering how good yet very cheap it is.
res000 – :
House Rasasi you continue to impress, my God this is beautiful!
This is one of the best vanilla musk based scents I’ve ever smelled. It’s so delicate, so soft, so alluring. This is a seductive powerhouse that will have women complimenting you left and right. That is, if they catch whiff. It’s not beastmode in projection, but it does project, and silage is good too. This is an EDP and the longevity is incredible. I’ve never smelled Valentino, so I can’t make any comparisons. But the idea of adding pink pepper to this makes me interested. Daarej is one of the best blind buys I’ve made outside Raghba by Lattafa. These middle eastern houses just continue to put these western, watered down marketing ploys to downright shame. Incredibly affordable for this quality. And boy does it ooze out quality. This is good juice, guys. Really good juice.
This is a safe blind buy in my opinion, and almost anyone can wear this. I got 10 hours of performance from this beast. For a fragance as delicate? Incredible. Vanilla musky heaven.

Hi. I have a treasure from Rasasi! Just arrived. Beautiful and masculine scent, it smells expensive. Beautiful vanilia and lovely bottle. My favorite! 5/5 stars for Rasasi! Thank you Dubai. Masterpiece! love it!
GoLLIA – :
Not familiar with V and I bought this one blind. So glad I did. This is really nice. Starts off with musk, fruity notes and caramel. Evolves into a really pleasant musky vanilla. Longevity and silage are both excellent. Lovely bottle and the color of the juice is a deep purple. Daarej is not expensive either. It’s a eastern gem!
velikiy7777 – :
Powdery sweet vanilla with a light spicy background. To compare it too Valentino V i would say the similarity is about 90 Percent. But this Rasasi clone longevity wise is almost nuclear. But i love this scent. Easy Blind Buy. Pick it up you will not be disappointed. Perfect for fall and winter and cool summer nights.

khalil-salimov – :
I ordered blindly based on reviews. Daarej seems so familiar, not a new experience to my nose, although I didn’t know Valentino, I’ve never tried it. When I wear Daarej reminds me of Kylie Minogue Inverse, Animale Animale and Bentley intense perfumes, maybe cause of the pathouli-amber-vanilla combo, but I can feel cinnamon also. It’s sweet and balsamic but not as a feminine juice, more unisex way, I like it, gives me self-confidence. It’s bold, warm and strong, can be suffocating, but at the same time I don’t think that projects too much on me, behaves like Bentley intense, I feel strong on me but the “public” not enough. It stays long time on my jacket, on my skin only 3-6 hours. For this price this is an awesome fragrance, cheap and unique, I recommend absolutely. You can wear everytime if you want some “flash” and attention:)

@esteban.vihaio – I do find a massive difference between this and Pure Havane, I can’t really think of any similar traits that they both share.

Longevity is awesome!

Edit: Yes indeed my bottle says “Daarej pour Femme!!!” So it is indeed quite feminine and not this frag. Unfortunately it’s not listed in Fragrantica (yet)

Great fragrance.. I never tried the Valentino so I can’t make references to that one. But what is great about this fragrance is that it has this character about it that is addictive and appealing. Don’t be afraid of the cumin note, this doesn’t have any BO type smell at all.. It gives off this sweet and seductive kind of unique smell that you keep sniffing because its addictive. I’m not saying it smells like la nuit, but it does something similar to what la nuit did. the opening is fine to me, although some find it harsh, and the dry down is very sexy. The scent could be considered unisex, but i don’t find it feminine. This is a sleeper for sure.

This should be classified as unisex! It is lovely for everyone. Try the Rasasi line if you hav not. They’re amazing fragrances at incredibly low prices. Love this!

I have never smelled Valentino V. I had also never heard of Rasasi or purchased any Middle Eastern perfumes. With that said, this is simply an amazing affordable fragrance. The subtle but present cumin note, along with the slight rose in the background mixing with tonka and vanilla makes this a very soft sensual yet masculine scent. It truely is beautiful. For under 30 dollars this is a steal and a beautiful seductive fragrance. Affordable, beautiful bottle and seductive scent.
9.5/10
