Entebaa

This should've been called Al-Wisam Night. Entebaa smells a lot like Al-Wisam Day, only sweeter and with a bit more spice. A few days after this arrived, I saw FragBoy Stewie's review hyping this stuff up. I have to agree with his take on Entebaa. When I first smelled it, I thought to myself, "This smells like La Nuit de L'Homme!" which I was not expecting. I was expecting this to smell closer to Creed Silver Mountain Water or Rasasi Al-Wisam Day. The top smells like the top of Silver Mountain Water (Al-Wisam Day) with a heart like YSL La Nuit de L'Homme. FragBoy Stewie says the dry down on this smells like Dior Homme Parfum, which I am not too sure I agree with. In the mid and drydown, I actually get something closer to Original Santal. Entebaa definitely has the same sweetness as Original Santal plus La Nuit de L'Homme. I would never say that Entebaa smells directly like any of these fragrances though. In the testing that I've done, I found I get olfactory fatigue from Entebaa pretty quick. That makes it easy to think this doesn't have good projection or longevity, but I've found it lasts and projects. Several hours after spraying Entebaa, other people could smell me from several feet away while I could no longer smell it on myself. I was only wearing a few sprays, so it's safe to say that this has decent projection and longevity. I wore this to a wedding reception over the weekend and my friend's wife asked "What are you wearing? It smells amazing! Can you text me the name so I can buy it for (my husband)?" My first time wearing this out and I received a compliment, so if that's what you're after, this is a good fragrance. I could see this being used mostly for dates, but also for night out and even casual situations where it's okay to wear something that's a little sweet. I'd say this is best for fall, spring, and cool summer nights. I would recommend this fragrance to men in their 20's and 30's. I feel like most guys could pull this off except super masculine, lumberjacks that would rather wear Fahrenheit, Kouros, and Antaeus. In my opinion, Rasasi Entebaa is great juice. I would label this as a love. I've been really impressed with this house so far. They make quality fragrances at great prices. I would be happy with my purchase, even if Entebaa cost double what I paid. The packaging wasn't quite as nice as other fragrances I've purchased from Rasasi, but that's not a big deal to me since I do not keep my bottles in the box. Here's how I would rate Rasasi Entebaa on a scale of 1-10. Scent 10 / 10 Projection 8 / 10 Longevity 8 / 10 Presentation 7 / 10 Originality 6 / 10 Price/Value 10 / 10 Since originality is not a big deal to me, I am going to omit that rating from my overall score. Overall Rating 8.5 / 10

I'm going to have to spend more time with this as I just received it. Initial impressions are very good. So, the notes I get but aren't listed is rose and tea. That rose note may be a combo of the plum and Vetiver. However they got to this smell isn't as significant as the smell. And this smells great! I don't have SMW, but smelled it and Silage from Armaf. I personally like this version better. A much better opening before it settles into the mid with that rosy earthiness. I'll update once I've had the chance to give this a full wear. But I'm very impressed. Update same day: This projected very well without maceration...for about 2 hours at least. Longevity is good and just going to get better as it sits. Sprayed on at 6am and at 5pm, I can still smell this on skin. After the 2 hour mark, I got a nice arms length bubble for about another 4 hours. Now, the weather is warm in TX and I believe this is the perfect weather for this fragrance because the sillage improved as the day got hotter. I'll leave my initial scores below. Getting this fragrance was a great decision! Projection: 7 (this will improve) Sillage: 8.5 Longevity: 8.5 Smell: 9 Price: 10 Overall: 8.5 Update 5/16/24: For some reason, this fragrance works extremely well off my skin. It's gotten better and better, more smooth. The rose I thought I was smelling isn't there anymore. Now, the tea is dominant while presenting itself as maybe one notch above soft. That makes the other notes blend perfectly 👌🏾. The plum and tea notes combine to make this wine tinge that is addictive, very! This stuff lasts all day on my skin. I spray in the mornings and 10 hours later it's still there. The silage is great and sneaky...others will know you're there. If compliments matter, this has gotten me plenty of those too. Updated scores: Projection: 8 Sillage: 9 Longevity: 10 Smell: 10 Price: 10 Overall: 9.5

Just received Entebaa. I will not compare to creed silver mountain water,due to its popularity. I want to keep your mind open lol. Moreover, it is very reminiscent of Armaf Derby Club House Blanche. This is more of a dried floral note fragrance that gives the "red wine vibe" or sangria feel. The citrus in this composition is evident & well done. Very natural in its development, and its strength grows as it develops. Therefore, becareful to not spray too much before the dry down (10-20m) has passed to assess the projection. Projection is good. I'm still evaluating the longevity, but it seems that it will last passed the normal "4 or so" hour range. Cons- Some may say it's too sweet or lack woody notes strength for the huber males out there. Pros- Natural smell, modern, some complexity in the dry down development, & a little richer in "darkness (fruit or floral wise) than Armaf CH Blanche 9/10 for price, potential crowd pleaser, & in my opinion potential compliment garner. Definitely in SMW and Armaf Club House Blanche genre. BUT, if you have either of these or both, it my be redundant. Just saying. Review coming soon YT shavenonthedarkside

I literally just got this delivered 30 minutes ago and I'm loving this so far. I agree with people that says it smells like sangria. It's STRONG! It projects really well. I'm thinking this isn't a work scent or even a very casual one. This is a night out scent all the way. And yes, it's unisex to my nose, but that's fine. It smells like sangria, flowers and sex. I can see getting a TON of compliments with this on an evening out, especially on dry down. I wouldn't be shy on sprays, 5+ if needed. It's sweet for sure, but not sickly so. It's definitely bottle worthy for now but I'll have to test it in the field. Maybe Friday for St. Patrick's Day festivities... EDIT: I have to say the longevity is excellent and I love that it has two distinct phases: The sweet, sweet opening and the sensual, smoky dry down. EDIT #2: Trust me fellas, this is a compliment magnet! Ladies love this one. And as I said before, it has two very distinct phases and women love BOTH. The sweet "black current wine" phase and the smoky, heavy dry down that is the one that lasts the longest. You will get crazy compliments all night. This is a night out staple. 9/10

I blind bought this beauty based on the positive reviews before me. I just got my bottle today and true enough, I can’t agree more. To my nose, all the elements I’m looking for in a scent profile is here. Its not linear and it gives me an olfactory joy ride. It starts off with a burst of citrusy fruity combination and a fresh salty aquatic vibe similar to Creed SMW, although this one has some boozy nuance. It will then transition into something more sensual with a faint creamy sweetness by the tail end of the dry down. That must be the comparison to Mancera’s Roses Vanille which I had a sample vial. That transition makes this even more beautiful. On my skin, it has a decent performance and longevity and at a fairly reasonable price point, so what more can I ask for? As a bonus, I find this versatile as well. I love to wear this especially while just chilling at home this summer time 🌞 Try before you buy unless you’re decided to blind buy 😉👍 9.5/ 10 for this humble winner 👍
