Qasamat Bareeq by Rasasi

Fragrantica rating: 4.16/5
This one is my 3rd flanker in the Qasamat series. Contrary to the popular belief, this is not a dupe of br540. You may get br540 vibes after spraying for a few seconds but it gets into its own unique character pretty quickly and stays that way for the rest of the time. It's a sugary sweet, saffron, caramel, and ambery scent. The performance of all Qasamat series flankers including this one is excellent! The bottle looks elegant. Everything about this fragrance is just great.

Don't be...

Please don't be scared. If you own Instant crush or baccarat rouge because of the comparison of this fragrance with those. don't get me wrong. There is a vibe that's similar to those two, but it has enough difference that's worth owning them all. Because of the melon note and the apple accord that I'm getting makes this very unique in its own way but at the same time giving off that same vibe as both. A very nice fragrance from the house of Rasasi.

Rasasi - Armaf with a Twist

Rasasi - a fragrance house that speaks to me greatly, and through various comments, I was encouraged to order two scents blindly. One was Al Wisam (with my favorite fragrance DNA from Silver Mountain Water) and the present Qasamat Bareeq. Rasasi is known for, similar to Armaf, copying well-known fragrances. However, Rasasi, which also comes from the UAE, interprets and slightly alters these scents in a different way. Just Armaf with a twist...

Qasamat Bareeq belongs to the mid-range price class (around 40 euros for 65ml) from the house and forms, together with Qasamat Ebhar, Qasamat Rasana, and Qasamat Morhaf, the Qasamat family. Each scent here reflects a well-known fragrance DNA: Ebhar - Oud Satin Mood, Rasana - Aventus (or Hacivat), Morhaf - Rose d'Arabie by Armani Prive, and Baccarat Rouge 540 for Qasamat Bareeq. It should be noted that almost all of these fragrances here on Parfumo are either in the upper 8-digit range or even over 9 (with quite few reviews, which speaks to the relative obscurity of the fragrance house).

Now to the actual scent: Yes, right after spraying, there is an unmistakable similarity to Baccarat, although I only know the 540 fleetingly. I refer here to my more detailed experience with Cloud by Ariana Grande (which comes across as somewhat less “medicinal” and really only smells like cotton candy). Immediately after, this impression dissipates, and a fruity note comes to the forefront; this is initially a bit unusual and even slightly off-putting. In the heart note, the floral notes then push more strongly to the front, and a bit more sweetness becomes noticeable. This is likely attributable to the caramel listed as a scent note. Here, it becomes more similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 again. Towards the end, the scent becomes a bit fresher and woodier, with vetiver and cedarwood making their presence known. A little later, it also acquires a slight powderiness.

The big question now is whether the current rating of 9.4 with ten reviews is justified (which, of course, is always subjective). I would say - not quite. I give the scent an 8.0, making it definitely very good, especially for a blind buy; but I must also be honest, a certain disappointment is also spreading, especially since the other reviews led to even higher expectations. Nevertheless, I am fond of the scent and will certainly try one or another fragrance from the house again sometime.

Sillage and longevity are very good, which was to be expected from such a scent. Especially at the beginning, the sillage is enveloping (but not quite as strong as the biggest sillage monster ever: Into the Void by Juliette has a Gun).

The bottle is, by the way, very pretty to look at and appears quite high-quality (in stark contrast to the bottle of Al Wisam, which creaks with plastic).

The scent can certainly be worn all year round, although it may be a bit too heavy for summer. It is indeed a unisex scent, although it tends slightly towards the feminine, which does not mean that men cannot definitely wear it (which I certainly will). Age-wise, it can be worn by almost anyone, especially younger people (compare Cloud by Ariana Grande).

Overall, a very nice, rounded scent (which can be off-putting in the top note), that indeed reminds of Baccarat Rouge 540, but does not copy it 1:1.

The Creed-BR540 Hybrid?

Sounds good? 6/6 Parfumos can't be wrong if this fragrance gets a 9.9. Al Haramaine offers very moderately priced scents, with which I have not had any bad experiences so far (of the 1 "one" fragrances I have tested, mind you).
So, boom, 15% off at the online retailer, ordered.
10 days later it was with me. It comes nicely in a gold-printed bottle. It is said to smell similar to BR540, of which there should be enough clones by now.
With the first spray, I was greeted by that burnt sugar Baccarat impression. Definitely a nice, sweet scent. I was a bit puzzled by the floral notes (marigold? violet?) in the top and heart, which do come across as slightly piercing.
As the base note slowly comes through, it reminds me more and more of Aventus Creed; it definitely has a certain freshness that BR540 lacks.
So, the perfect BR540/Creed hybrid?
Wait, haven't we seen this somewhere before? Regardless, I currently have nothing comparable in my collection, and I will certainly enjoy wearing it out... So probably in 2022. :)

It's Worth It

Hello everyone,

I actually wanted to hold back on writing reviews as a "newbie" in the perfume world, but I can't help myself with this scent.

For about a year, I've had samples of almost all the top fragrances at home and recently started to build a small collection, even if they are mostly mid-range scents for now.

Nevertheless, there is one brand that has stood out unchallenged among all the Xerjoff, Tom Ford, and Parfums de Marly samples: MFK!

Baccarat Rouge 540 and Oud Satin Mood... these are still, to this day, the best fragrances I have ever had the pleasure of smelling, both in terms of performance and the actual scent.

A bit pricey, though. That's how I stumbled upon this dupe, clone, or however you want to call it. I had already tried 2 fragrances from Rasasi and find that this house offers an amazing price-performance ratio.

Today, Bareeq arrived, and I had to apply it immediately, and what can I say? I am absolutely thrilled. 40 € for an EdP with such strong performance and a scent that comes extremely close to Baccarat.

It takes about 2 - 3 minutes to unfold, but then it's there, flattering and always close to you, like a bodyguard. It smells great and has superb performance.

For me, it's an absolutely worthy alternative to Baccarat when you don't want to spend a three-digit amount on a fragrance.

No novice will smell the difference.

BR540 in the opening, a different DNA of saffron, musk, caramel, moss and leather in the dry down. Unisex and beautiful.

Irriscent saffron rose in blood-red crystal 540, but bulky and harsh. Violet-dusted love wounds. Syrup seeps under the band-aid.

BR540 and Widian/London were snowed in at the alpine lodge and passed the time. 9 months later came Quasimodo, uh, Qasamat.
