let me start by saying….what a fabulous presentation…bravo..10/10. now the smell…its very cozy and rich…not cloying or animalic in nature…i have been wearing this for sometime…yet to review it…but i get the up class vibe of Kalemat black..the most wearable chocolaty wood in the world..its clean, lil dark, gourmand like…and lots of amber as well. i think this Junoon Satin is for the most luxurious men/women, who want to remain under stated..away from general public and just enjoy the beautiful mild aroma of it…its probably best for fall night time…if you are gonna get intimate with your lady or man…this is what will smell like making love in heavens…. lovely fragrance…has a tom ford vibe in it..like mild tobacco vanille type but not anywhere near as cloying… these are some thoughts i have gathered so far…and i cant believe my beloved rasasi is producing such quality fragrances…no wonder they are selling so many units of SO MANY fragrances..im lucky to own and experience a lot…from their basic to high end boruzz line…love you Rasasi…someday i wish i could own all their fragrances
this is timeless classic…for sophisticated people 🙂
10/10 in every way…performance perhaps 8/10 🙂

Thanks so much andrewj and 98tacos. Greetings from Houston.

@Houstonx, you can buy samples of Rasasi fragrances from their UK/Europe dealers/distributors, Sama Perfumes. If you google “Sama Perfumes” you’ll find them.
The samples are not listed on their website. You have to email them with a list of the perfumes you want to try. Then they will email you pricing for each sample and the shipping charge to your country.
They are extremely stingy with the sample sizes, by the way. One ml is standard. One or two of the samples I bought from them had even less than one ml, perhaps due to leakage during air transit.
But as far as I know, it’s still the cheapest way to get Rasasi samples. Well there is one other way, which is to go to a shop selling Arabic products – food, books, clothes, perfume, etc. You could smell the perfumes there if they stock Rasasi. But if you don’t have a store like that in your area, then Sama Perfumes is your best bet.
@BlackRussian, I totally agree!

The smell itself is not too bad, but doesn’t have much character and it doesn’t perform really well for an EDP. Very nice bottle I must admit. In the breakdown the first note according to Rasasi is bergamot and I wish it was, because it’d have more character to it. But all I get is the light candy like floral at every stage of the dry down. I agree with Gustav, it’s certainly more on the Western end of the spectrum.
Rasasi has an amazingly large collection. And I’d love to try many of them since I really like middle eastern fragrances. But as far as I see except for the Yuqawam line, they have no tester samples in the market. And since they have very reasonable pricing for most of their products, I blind bought all my Rasasi frags (5 in total) so far. But I was dissappointed with my last 3 purchases. So I guess until Rasasi’s samples in small vials for their larger collection are available in the U.S. market, I am done blind buying this house’s products.
So if anybody knows where we can find Rasasi samples, please holler.
p.s. If the price for this frag was $25 a bottle, I’d say go for it, but it’s 75$ for a 50ml bottle. So if you can, try it before buying it.

Admins, please add Junoon Velvet to your database! As well as many other increasingly popular Rasasi perfumes like Hawas, Pour Lui Leo, and Pour Lui Crocodile.

“Junoon-Satin, Pour Homme, is an expression of confidence, charisma, and effortless charm. The fragrance opens on the fresh masculine notes of bergamot, meandering through spice-inflected floral accords to culminate in a dark, intensely smoky and woody base laced with a hint of raw sensual energy provided by oud and musk.” This is how the perfume is described by Rasasi themselves.
This is not an Eastern-oriented perfume, it was conceived in collaboration with a Western perfume house, and this is very evident once you smell it. This one combines western innovation with eastern quality perfumes, making it a winner all the way.
It’s definitely a unisex fragrance, it has very prominent floral sweet notes which most women can wear comfortably if they don’t mind heavy perfumes, and this one is HEAVY.
The bergamot is weak, florals are strong, and I can swear I can smell strawberry there although it’s not mentioned in the notes! there are some woody oud notes in the background, but they hold the perfume together rather than run the show. Musk is also there and becomes very prominent in the dry down, it is clean soapy white musk.
Sillage and longevity, monstrous!
Surely a niche addition from Rasasi

I am so curious GustaveTheNos!!

So I will be the first to review this gem. Everything about this new line from rasasi screams luxury, starting from the box, which slides upwards to reveal the perfume; the bottle itself is a display piece, very heavy glass with polished cap and base made of heavy plastic to resemble metal, the bottle looks small but it’s quite wide which gives the impression it’s of small size. It also comes with a pendant hanging below the cap, adding another luxury touch to it.
The juice is very modern, sophisticated, and top quality, I can see the light reflection on the skin for some time after spraying due to the oil content.
I will give this some time before I dissect the notes, I’m sure it will develop over the next few hours, and since I’m wearing heavy oud already, it’s hard to spot all the aspects of the notes… To be continued
