It's Essential

the box gave me a papercut so I started with a bad mindset, the box its self also smelled like genuine BO so I had low hopes but when I sprayed this, oh my god. This may be one of the best fresh fragrances I've ever smelt. Has the ysl l'homme dna but ive never smelt ultime so I have no take on that. Opens up with the brightest citrus youll ever smell then starts to settle into a touch of musk. Almost reminds me of boss bottled bold citrus. I just put this up to my nose and felt it touch my brain so its projecting amazing. This stuffs crazy man as for longevity I literally just got the bottle so I have no clue. People say this is like ultime but with a perfected scent and lasts longer. Ill post this review in a few hours to give my take on the longevity and projection Scent 8/10 (Im to young to use such citrus fragrances but its still great) longevity 5 hours projection is good and not too much, still go light with the sprays. it preforms well but doesnt last insanely long great fragrance, im happy to own it

I've never smelled Ultime before, so I'll be reviewing It's Essential as a standalone fragrance. This fragrance is fantastic, especially for it's price! It was a blind buy that I added to my cart to reach a free-shipping threshold, and I have zero regrets. It's currently my gym fragrance as it is inexpensive and invigorating. Definitely an office safe fragrance. It's pleasant, inoffensive, very versatile. Don't let the tobacco note in the base fool you; this is not a tobacco based "heavy" fragrance at all. I get much more of the aromatics comparatively. I'd say it may be too light to be worn in the winter time (outdoors) as I would think this would be suppressed without the excess heat to help it project off skin. All other seasons and relatively warm weather are fair game. If you're looking for a fresh aromatic everyday scent that won't break the bank, I 100% recommend this.

I don't know why, when this sits on my skin for 15 minutes, I can smell a little bit of similarity to LV imagination. But not as much as on my shirt. But this is probably the best one I have smelled from Rasasi. I have smelled the Hawas, ice, etc. This is by far the best and my favorite one. It's not overly sweet, it's not spicy, it's just a very settled and mass appealing scent. I love this thing, for only $30 ish, I have nothing that smells similar to this one, besides, there is a hint of similarity like LV Imagination. I can't tell you which note is similar to Imagination, but if you have both fragrances, you will figure it out what I mean. This is by far one of my best fragrances for only $30.

So I actually ended up getting this as a gift from my girlfriend but I saw it in a video posted by fragrance content creator McNasty and my god was he right. This fragrance is a genuine 10/10 BANGER it doesn’t project super duper well so if you’re looking for something that will fill a room this isn’t your guy BUT everything else about it is amazing. At the top you get this super fresh fruity almost like fruity pebbles accord and also I get a hit of like ink almost, but not in a bad way and as it dries down you get this super warm woody tonka and it’s literally perfect to wear as the day goes on. Highly highly highly recommend.

Edit: this shizzle is soooo good, I bought 3 bottles of it! Another under-the-radar gem by Rasasi! Exceptional value. **** IMPORTANT: The notes are wrong on here. **** This is ~60% L'Homme Ultime (with the awesome L'homme DNA), ~20% LV Imagination and ~20% (others). Inspired by the best of the YSL L'homme lineup - L'homme Ultime! The ginger stays thru to the mid notes. Value for money for what it is attempting to do. Currently 6-7 hours on skin and longer on clothing, and that's just 3 weeks since opening. Like other ME frags, it will get stronger (maturation) with time.
