Hasaa

I owned and wore YSL "Black Opium Le Parfum" and loved it. But the perfume's projection and performance were poor on my skin. I decided to try Al Absar "Hasaa" as an alternative. Hasaa is touted as Black Opium Over Red...and I like a well-done cherry note in perfume. Sweet, perfectly balanced cherry meets beautiful, mixed white florals. There's coffee, some vanilla. The fragrance is gorgeous. But literally within minutes of applying this perfume, I cannot smell much and neither can anyone around me. I love the fragrance. It's unfortunate that the performance is so poor. I'll allow this one to sit for a bit...see if the performance improves.

Instead of a burst of Cherry, I got a deeper note that smelled like a chocolate to me but there is no chocolate in the notes, so not sure what I'm smelling. Comparing it the OG on paper, it comes across a little darker. After about 20 mins on paper, the smokey feeling I was getting dried down to a smoother composition. It became a little creamier and harder to distinguish between this and Black Opium Over red. They are so close to my nose but I do need to test on skin. The Og just seems a tad bit brighter than this but both very enjoyable to my nose!

Yup, this is it - Black Opium Over Red best dupe. I have both and wouldn't tell them apart after like 5 min. Beautiful, sexy cherry scent, but not cough syrup. Amazing, the best cherry I found. Some coffee and flowers, my bf compared it to cherries in chocolate with a bit of alcohol inside. Lasts super long and projects a bit. Recommend!!!

I've just received today. It was a blind buy from an international site, because Hasaa is not available in my country...It smells so high quality, it's sweet, but in a dark way, spicy, floral, vanilla, everything so well blended and sexy, and distinguished. I love it so much and I hope they don't discontinue it <3

I put this on to show my wife what I got in the mail today. I sprayed liberally. She joked that I have a problem. Then I held out my arm and said “sniff.” May lightning strike me dead if I’m lying... she immediately started unbuttoning my shirt. Need I say anything more? Nothing else matters.
