Oh dear, Tonka and Vanilla again - is this still exciting?
Hello dear Parfumos,
I am now so incredibly enthusiastic about the brand Rasasi that I order the fragrances blindly - and most of the time I am rewarded for it. Of course, one or the other turns out to be just like the... one or the other or doesn't deliver what the pyramid and the grand promises... promise. But I haven't experienced a real crash landing with this brand, as the (most) fragrances are quite affordable. Rasasi pour Homme L'Eau Verte was a supplementary purchase - how it performed, I will now tell you...
The top note is fresh-floral-sweet; I don't smell the bergamot that is listed in the pyramid at all. After about 20 minutes, I can clearly smell the flowers, especially the jasmine - without it being too feminine. Cypress is lively in the mix, while the lavender unfortunately gets overshadowed (I really like lavender and imagine that it has a calming effect on me...). Unfortunately, there is a synthetic shower gel vibe in the heart note, which, however, is hardly present after about an hour. At the same time, it becomes a bit woodier and sweeter - by that time, I already have the fear that the base will turn into a 'modern' uniform vanilla-tonka blend that the discerning Parfumo should by now be quite familiar with....
From the 2nd hour onwards, the sillage shrinks to arm's length, which I believe fits the fragrance - more would be a bit intrusive, as the flowers slowly retreat and a kind of light, slightly too sweet and fresh licorice takes over. After 4 hours, there is nothing left to smell of the flowers; the described light wood (now not quite as fresh) has taken the scepter. Unfortunately, the base is nothing special, as in the end it is the feared vanilla-tonka mix with a bit of patchouli that threatens to 'bore' the rather exciting fragrance progression. The longevity is okay at 7-8 hours, the sillage breaks down after about 3-4 hours and then becomes almost skin close.
My conclusion: It can be bought, but it doesn't have to be had, as the fragrance overall is not individual enough and unfortunately ends up being arbitrary. However, since the little scent is offered at a fair price, it is not a disappointment, and so it may remain in my Rasasi collection for the time being...
