Raees

What an amazing fragrance at an incredible value(6oz bottle!) not just because the bottle size but because it performs well in projection, and especially longevity. I'm not familiar with ADG Profondo, but if it smells like this I can see why it has such a following. I don't even know what I'm smelling here I just know it's all very green, herbal, refreshing, and invigorating. Obviously it has a very citrusy and green aquatic opening, and then as it dries down it becomes spicy, musky and a bit powdery. I've fallen in love with the dry down of this one, and I think I know why. I've always loved patchouli when I can detect it in heavier style fragrances like Givenchy Gentleman, Kouros, and Giorgio Beverly Hills, but I've never been good at picking it out when it's not such a major player. However I think the patchouli in this one is what gives it that smoky, peppery character that I love about it. Well done Aribyat Prestige! Thank you, and I look forward to more of your fragrances(especially Raees in the black bottle). Good longevity excellent smell win win.

I've owned the original ADG Profondo, so I wasn't expecting much when I picked up Arabiyat Prestige Raees. After wearing it side by side, I'm genuinely impressed. To my nose, it's 99–100% identical to Profondo. The fresh marine opening, the aromatic herbal notes, and the clean mineral dry-down are all there. In a blind test, I'd honestly struggle to tell them apart. What surprised me the most is the quality. Raees doesn't smell cheap or synthetic—it has a smooth, well-blended composition that feels much more expensive than it is. The projection is also excellent. I consistently get strong projection for the first couple of hours, and it settles into a pleasant scent bubble that lasts for the rest of the day. If you already own or have owned the original ADG Profondo, you'll immediately recognize the DNA. In my experience, Raees captures it almost perfectly while delivering impressive performance and excellent value for money.

Beautiful mass appealing fragrance, can't imagine someone would smell this and disagree. Cheap while smelling high quality and 180ml! I don't know why this is not popular it is really good. Also if you want to know how much juice is left, you can shave off the paint on one of the sides with a cutter blade (under the paint is regular clear glass), quick and easy process same as what some people have been doing with the liquid brun bottles. Edit: Just tried ADG Profondo EDP, it opens brighter more citrus than Raees, but in the dry down (30 minutes later) I got a weird "eggy" smell. This is not the case with Raees, I prefer Raees to ADG Profondo.

Yea lil bro i’m ngl nothing is ever gonna come close to ADG Profondo but this is our only option. It’s genuinely a crazy deal for the amount u get and the longevity. The only difference is they can match the quality and blend it aswell as the actual ADG. However this was a very good purchase and i will be ticking this cologne since i ran out of the OG and this still smells GOOD. ALSO I don’t know why the bro below me is talking about this being weak it’s genuinely stronger that the actual discontinued ADG🙏 9/10

A complete hidden gem. The biggest difference between this and Profondo as far as scent profile is the mandarin isn't quite as strong. However the longevity and overall strength is leaps and bounds over ADG so it's perfectly fine. The best Profondo clone I've found at least. The only issue I have with it is the atomizer is very prone to breaking, which I experienced and had to try and fix. Still though for the price it's hard to find fault with even that.

This one is a 10/10 when you add it all up. First off its $35 for a 6.0 ounce bottle. Second its 95% the same as ADG Profondo. Third its stronger than the og. No brainer if you like ADG Profondo. I think Chrome Extreme smells better and is the best Profondo clone. But overall this one is still excellent. This one smells very similar to Liam blue from Lattafa.

Citrus, green, aquatic. Excellent take on ADG Profondo. Just starts out a bit sweeter and has more of a soapy vibe (in a good way). Projects very well and has solid longevity which is rare for this type of scent. $35 for a 6oz. is a ridiculous price for the quality and presentation you're getting here.

Inoffensive aquatic which has a certain density to it, making it a versatile and inexpensive daytime office safe scent.

performs and smells like profondo but a tad bit sweeter (got it for $40) for 180mL / 6.0oz

Icy adg profondi, amazing performance , very strong projecting 10/10

OMG this smells sooo freaking good!!

Really nice fragrance that feels like it has ADG DNA and really comes off as Profondo. Solid blue-style marine fragrance that is office safe IMO. For my skin to keep 7-8 hrs longevity I first spray it on right after showering and then a few more sprays before walking out the door.

The performance is not good. Longevity is poor. One thing I must mention that when I open the sealed box and nozzle and top cap found losing out and not attached with the original bottle.

Never smelled the og but this does smell nice the Performance is TERRIBLE tho.

Just got a bottle of this & was really looking forward to getting it as love Profondo & Profumo. Sadly this is pretty weak straight out of the bottle, you are met with a burst of citrus which quickly dials down to what is like a soapy shower gel, expected it to be more aquatic or oceanic considering the love this gets. Paid around £34 for my bottle which for a 180ml is super value for money, having said this if the scent is just Meh then there’s no point buying it again. Some will say put it away to Mature or Macerate but I just don’t buy into that Bullshit & think it’s all in people’s heads, so with that in mind I’m not expecting this to mysteriously somehow get better. My bottle arrived with the cap loose in the box & also the atomiser had detached & was stuck sideways inside the cap, don’t really think this would make a difference. As this is only my initial wearing of this, if my opinion changes then I’ll update with my experience, but as it stands right now then I wouldn’t recommend this frag, it’s just not noticeable enough & a pretty dull wear for me.

Raees is a spicy marine and aquatic scent profile without the salt note.. Opening of Raees is subjective.. You might like it or hate it.. definitely you will not love it.. I purchased it for 3000₹ and the quantity is 180ml .. which is definitely a huge value for money.. Initial projection and scillage is very good.. Two wheeler commute in hot summer days or moderate days are very well taken care of by the initial two hours .. the final dry down after 2 to 3 hours is very good which will stay with you for 6hrs.. Definitely not a blind buy safe.. !!!

The pros: Insane value, performs much better than the OG The cons: smells very “off” even after monthlong maceration. The citrus is super synthetic lemon, similar to cleaning products. The musk has a very prominent “dirty” scent. Overall, 5/10

Always sample before buying and save yourself $$$ on wasted blind buys :) If anyone's interested in a sample at the best price check it out at my website: Decantified.com we have them all! ---- thank you! Here is my honest review for Fragrantica: I've been sitting with Raees in my collection without having tried it out yet for about a month! After I saw another user post about how good it was yesterday I was convinced to finally give it a wear today. I had a GREAT experience with Raees. It projected very well for a freshie. And longevity was slightly above average. This bottle is huge! 6 ounces for around $35 is a steal!! This to me is like the perfect 'classic' freshie. With real marine notes to it. Not like a laundry detergent kind of freshie. Nor does it resemble megameres sickly seaweed kind of smell. It's just a pleasant aquatic smell mixed with some great florals and citrus. It's male leaning for sure, but can still easily be used by both sex's. It opens so strong, in the most inoffensive way lol. It reminds me of a darker kind of Abercrombie freshie. It's got some weight to it, a little less airy. Like a foaming ocean instead of flat lake water kind of vibe. I sprayed at 10am and I can still smell it on my arm after a very heavy day at 6:30pm. It's 9:30 now and the perfume is for the most part gone. Quality is what surprised me. It really does smell super natural, leans towards the high end designer kind of quality. The smell itself although not synthetic, it is generic. So it may not blow anyone's socks offs, but it such a easy pick and easy wear. It just works. Everyone around me really liked it a lot and I got insta compliments. The opening of that Rosemary, orange, and cypress mixing with the marine notes is incredible. I love rosemary in fragrances, always such a clean smell. This is the best Acqua di Gio Profundo clone that I have in my large collection. I'm gonna give this a 9/10 because of how easy and pleasant it is to use. You can always try before you buy, but this is one of those rare occasions I can truly vouch for something. The only problem you might have is if you find it too boring.

This is a banger. I am a huge fan of that masculine ADG dna and this just takes it to the next level. I had ADG Profondo EDP (the newer formulation) and I traded it away because I liked this one so much more. I will warn you that it needs about 2-3 weeks to sit, with the cap off, to settle. At first this was a patchouli BOMB and did not feel very well blended. However, after sitting, this is an easier to wear ADG Profondo, mainly because it removes some of that “wet dog” saltiness that some people get from it. Sprays: I would do 6-10 sprays with this, some on skin and some on clothes to get the maximum effect. Tone it down by a couple of sprays if you’re wearing to work or the office. Longevity: I get about 6-8 hours on skin, depending on the temperature, and over 12 on clothes. Sillage: this stuff is powerful AF at first and settles to a smaller bubble around the 2 hour mark, with others noticing it on me 4-6 hours after. This is one you can get nose blind to, so just because you can’t smell it doesn’t mean others can’t. For $35, this huge ahh bottle is a heck of a deal, and it’s going to be my summer dumb reach daily. Highly recommended.

Clearly this is a top clone up there for Profondo. Strong projection, but I can’t tell yet if it last a bit better than original but I’ll compare them to see which last longer and come back. Either way 180 ml (6.0 oz) and for $30-$35 on Jomashop is just insane. Definitely recommend this if you want a very affordable fresh fragrance that just smells as majestic as the original. Needs a little hype but I understand that it just got released.
