Rumz Al Rasasi 9453 pour Lui Rasasi 2015

On my odyssey through the inscrutable world of Aventus Dupes, I wanted to get the Rumz al Rasasi Zebra at the right (price) opportunity.
When the package arrived today, I was disappointed to find out that the leopard was delivered instead of the zebra. I looked again in the online shop, it was probably a mistake on my part, because they do not carry the zebra at all. I should concentrate more when ordering.

Briefly looked here, rating 7.7, maybe it fits. First spray, what is that for a (stink) bomb? Quite difficult to classify, what in my collection there is still most similar, is the Shaghaf Oud Abyad by Swiss Arabian. Also compared directly with each other (left arm - right arm) and let it work. Top note very similar, oriental-smoky. While the dense incense and oud smokiness remain with the Swiss Arabian, they become more subtle with the Rasasi, and something floral emerges. But not necessarily weak durability, even after 6h still very clearly audible.

The fragrance is already very special. Can you wear on vacation in Dubai. In everyday working life absolutely unthinkable.
My sister in law found him terrible.

A fragrance that fits only a few occasions. Even if he pleases me quite after some time. Let's see, maybe I keep a small part for special occasions and see if someone wants him in the souk. Somehow I have enough perfume for the rest of my life now and need to structure/economize it a bit. But no hurry...
