How Xerjoff polarizes
The perfume house Xerjoff accompanies me for a good year. Many fragrances I have tested and a few also moved in with me.
Everything began with Alexandria II and a curious test in the perfume department of a Breuninger. Since I was very interested in Orientals before, this fragrance was far up on the tasting list.
So generously sprayed on the arm and off we go.
To cut short the story of how much I liked the scent, I'll tell you that it moved in two weeks later and started the Xerjoff journey.
Of course, it hadn't taken long for the "reformulation" with Alexandria III to quickly come into view.
As a classic Parfumo I have of course studied all the comments to make me a picture of the fragrance, because often reformulations rather entail deterioration. In the said Breuninger, there was this version unfortunately not as a tester, so remained also initially only this approach.
But at the time, the statements to this fragrance were very mixed, just polarizing.
Either praised in the sky or partially verrissen. It was a copy of the comments and statements on Alexandria II before the hype began. I found it very amazing how such a gradient in reviews could occur, from majestic scent to "scratchy" or "synthetic".
A storybook example of how scents are perceived.
But let's get to the scent itself:
The fragrance DNA has described my previous speaker HIRH perfectly, which is why I do not want to repeat the fragrance pyramid in detail, but would like to reflect the feeling that gives Alex III.
You can immediately see that both fragrances are relatives. We have here no classical reformulation, as one knows it with designer fragrances. It is rather a different interpretation. In the sense that the third version is "clearly" more floral, a little less sweet and "oudiger". In short - more oriental.
Whether it is better or worse than its predecessor, I do not want to evaluate at all, because they are not for me in a competition, but complement each other.
Certainly I can share with all interested readers that the second generation is more pleasing and a bigger crowd pleaser, as they say nowadays.
But who is interested in Orientals, which have not been too much steamed for Western noses, can take the next step here. Because you get for my feeling the best of two worlds - very high quality, authentic ingredients and a fragrance that you can wear in our latitudes excellent. (I've tested it for a year ?)
For those, the "expensive money" for a bottling will also not be wasted, because the experience is worth it.
Finally, a few words about the Perfomance and Flakon.
As befits an oriental fragrance, you get your money's worth here. He does what he should - hold and radiate. In the end, of course, the dosage decides.
Flacon and packaging are top league. You can always tell that Sergio Momo was a glazier in his previous lives.
In this sense - remains curious!

Recommendation
How does Rasasi Qasamat Ebhar appear at first impression?
It appears rather complex and "dense" in the sense that individual scents do not immediately stick out and it is very balanced. Roughly described, it is first and foremost very creamy and gourmand. Regarding the pyramid of scents I can confirm the indicated tonka bean, vanilla and praline.
For me personally, the fruity rose that we have in this fragrance is very well integrated. It doesn't drown out everything but rather accompanies the course of the fragrance. So it does not become obtrusive.
In my opinion it has slight similarities with Oud Satin Mood by MFK. You could say it was his little brother. He is not so loud but rather nestles to the body
I see the fragrance as basically unisex, but with a tendency to be feminine. But with this I do not want to discourage men from wearing Ebhar. If you like these slightly gourmand scents, this one might be a good candidate.
Especially for the Orientale-Fans among us, this scent is worth a sample.
As far as the performance is concerned, I can certainly praise Ebhar. Even for my pampered oud nose he is long perceptible. The first 2 hours he has a good projection. After that he retreats step by step.
In summary, I can say that Rasasi has once again developed a fragrance that deserves attention and last but not least is very interesting because of its great price-performance ratio.
