Raghba Classic

Just got this today. It is fabulous. I'm not sure why everyone says oudh is difficult, because on my skin, it just smells like it was made for me. I have been looking for perfumes like this all my life, as I just knew what would be 'right' on me. I have Shalimar and love it, but it's somewhat soft, even in it's gorgeousness; I wear Opium, and on my skin it is not brash or loud, just a lovely fragrance. Most other perfumes vanish within a couple of hours or smell like a sweet shop - yhew! This Classic, though, is perfection; it's dark and enveloping, warm and sensual, and the joy of it lasts soooo long. It's not a 'feminine' perfume, but a full 'woman' perfume, and I'm sure a real man could pull it off really well, too. I know I would have a hard job resisting a man wearing this wicked juice. It's like sex with black molasses sauce. !0/10

The floral is very prevalent at the top but settles down on the dry down revealing a nice oud. At first I was not sure I would like this but it is quite pleasant after an hour or more. Longevity is excellent.

OMG! I'm not afraid of oud anymore. This stuff is gorgeous. Please dont think its just one for the boys. Dont miss out on this beautifully balanced, inexpensive, heavenly eastern olfactory experience.

Excellent scent, worth more than its price, good projection and sillage

The floral, incensy cousin to the original Raghba, this one's a lot more mature, more refined, and more fancy. Where the regular raghba is playful, sweet, and yummy, this one is more cool, floral, and laid back. Hard to describe, but I suppose you could imagine two different scenarios. In an old Arabic court or kingdom, the sword-wielding womanizer with a masculine charm and playfulness would wear the regular raghba, sweet and oudy, sugary and vanilla deliciousness, and women would flock to him and his perfect smile. However, Raghba classic would be worn by the lord, royalty, or those in high class familys. While the swordplaying rascal would wear the regular raghba, the captain of the guard, wise and stoic, would wear Raghba classic, with it's cool, almost refreshing incense, warm oud, and deep, complex florals. It oozes out class. Lovely scent. I think women can certainly pull this off as well. In fact, some men may find this too feminine due to the florals, although I would disagree. Lasts forever too. Excellent performance. Scent: 8/10 Silage: 9/10 Longevity: 10/10 Personal Appreciation: 8/10
