Esraa

Upon application of the perfume oil, the ylang ylang and saffron notes immediately jump off my warm skin, followed closely by sandalwood- a woody, spicy, oriental affair that is intoxicatingly gorgeous and unmistakeably oriental in its scent offering. The ever so slightly earthy-powdriness from the orris, spiciness from the balsam, and sweet musky quality of ambrette reinforce that oriental scent cloud around the saffron-sandalwood heart, and when the heart is gone, the notes that remain form the sweet, musky, spicy dry-down. Silage and performance when applied to skin or clothing, are quite strong for the first 3 hours (heavy on ylang-saffron-sandalwood) and then dries down to become a more orris musky skin scent. Longevity on skin is weak- 3/4 hours, but on clothing, it clings for more than a week. I cannot sing enough praises for this oriental beauty. It is middle eastern from the opening to the dry down, and it cannot be faulted for this. If you find that saffron and/or musk mallow work well with your body chemistry, and have been considering this fragrance, falter no longer, but ensure that you purchase your bottle from a reputable seller. I adored the oil so much that I hunted down a 65ml EDP. I don't see myself wearing this in the winter, the saffron, balsam and ylang ylang notes have a short projection and so will do better in warmth. Update: I wore this in humid, hot temperatures and the sensual florals displayed the glory of their potency. Again, I wouldn't advise to try this in cold weather, you will be left unimpressed as the notes do not develop smoothly. Addendum: I much prefer the oil to the perfume spray.

This non alcohol Emirate perfume oil has been my signature Rasasi scent since I was 19 YO & picked it up @ ICNA in Rosemont Chicago. I find it's unisex. I have millionaires asking me what I'm wearing. If I wear a dress, hang it up, a year later it still smells like this wonderful fragrance. It's intoxicating. There is now a spray version of this, 1 dab behind the knee caps, near arm pits, wrist, neck, and bottom of feet. Typically, cedarwood (the best oil comes out of TX) is masculine leaning, however, the creativity of the noses behind this fragrance is sublime. It's not over powering, 0 complaints about allergies when I go out, no sneezing. I could be buried in this enchanting scent. 💘💘💘💘

I love it when the seasons change, especially from summer to fall. After several long, hot months spent wearing crisp greens and watery floral I'm always ready for velvet petals, a waft of incense, a trip through the spice market. My search this year was for saffron, and Esraa delivered. It opens with a sharp blast of metallic rose, but quickly sorts itself in to more defined notes. Just enough bergamot, orris root and ylang ylang, tempered by saffron that is almost mouth watering. It's a very "Yellow" fragrance, and the beautiful bottle reflects that perfectly.

Esraa is a mysterious and powerful perfume. It opens with a strong note of saffron softened by a creamy ylang ylang. It is very special, it remembers the autumn days. Very intense with a powerful sillage and very good longevity (8-10h). Overall it is an interesting scent, of wake and certainly will not go unnoticed. Beautiful Sillage: 9./10 Longevity: 9./10 Scent: 9./10 Overall: 9./10

This fragrance is not for teens but for real women. Complex, rare, delightful. Sophisticated. It exudes mystery, irresistable mystery. Even the next morning after spraying on Esraa, it lingers delightfully on one's skin. As exotic as exotic can get. I love it. I agree with @elderflowers, Brilliant! If one is not a lover of woody musk, this is an education in how beautiful it can be.
