Terente

Bought blindly, following reviews on various internet sites, the Rasasi Daarej. I will compare it with my last previous, also blindly purchase, its cousin Rasasi Tasmeem. The presentation is rather poorer than Tasmeen's: a box without personality, an ordinary bottle with a plastic cap. If Tasmeem has an aristocratic appearance, Daarej looks rather spartan.
The juice inside the bottle is nice, sweet enough to be almost at the limits of my tolerance. The sweetness of Daarej by Rasasi is much more pronounced, but still not cloying or nauseaous. Spicy, but less than Tasmeem. It's a well blended perfume. It's discreet, but it seems strong than Tasmeem thanks to its sweetness. The opening is better than the drydown, IMHO, because at drydown the sweetness became even harder. The late drydown, OTOH, is awesome: it loses the sweetness and became ambery, similar to Baldessarini Ambre, one of my favourites.
Vast majority of people say it's similar to Valentino V. I never smelled V, but I can say that Daarej is a very good perfume, despite its sweetness. It's in the today's trends, it can be wore by young people in various situations. Though I like it, for me Tasmeem it's much classy and refined. Anyway, both of them are awesome and they shouldn't miss from perfume lovers collections.

I blindly bought as a present for my wife, because she likes how Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue smells. Indeed, they are similar, but Tag Her is even better. In fact, Armaf Tag Her is a DGLB in disguise, better finished. A gorgeous arabic perfume, who makes a better impression than the european original. Long lasting and good sillage. Bergamot in opening, then a pineapple-ish accord (vanilla & orange blossom?), very durable and pleasant. I smell it very well on my wife even after 5 hours, then it became skin scent, but it still lasts more hours.

Bought blindly, following reviews on various internet sites, the Rasasi Tasmeem. The presentation is rather luxuriant for its price. A nice box, a very nice bottle, a good steel cap, and the good taste shapes give Tasmeem an aristocratic appearance.
But the juice inside the bottle... increases this first impression. Tasmeem by Rasasi is an Extraordinary gem (caps lock intentional). A little bit sweet, but not at all nauseous. Spicy and very well blended. Discreet, but strong in its hearth. The opening is divine, but also the drydown. It's similar to Cartier Declaration (must agree my portuguese friend Carlitos :) ), but having much better flavor. I had to choose between Daarej and Tasmeem and I choose Tasmeem because it can be worn also in warm seasons. It has multiple faces. It has an appearance of barbershop fragrance, but also a refined face.
Safe to blind buy. Girls and guys, this perfume outperforms many of the european designer creations. Believe me, I'm a hunter of this kind of perfumes: cheap but awesome. After Al Haramain - Excellent, this is the second gem I found. Amen! :D

Bought it blindly with Masculin 2 Gold Fever for ab. 5.5 euros each. Lemony, woody and spicy, in this order. Very good longevity (more than 8 hours on my skin), but moderate to poor sillage. Skin scent after ab. 3-4 hours.
Ratings on this site are... shitty. Both of them last about the same period of time, but here we have a difference of 0.6 points between them, which is not true.

Bought it blindly with Masculin 2 Black Instant for ab. 5.5 euros each. It smells for me mostly like red/black grapes, but it has some notes that I can only suppose them. Very spicy. I smell also cinnamon and apple. Very good longevity (more than 8 hours on my skin), but moderate to poor sillage. Skin scent after ab. 3-4 hours.
