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.

Great YSL L'Homme Ultime clone. I do have to say though, with the extra maturation that Armaf Infinity edges it out as a richer and fuller experience but leans a bit more cooler weather while It's Essential will be better suited for desert Summer weather. Very happy to own both though. Bright pear (favorite fruit note), orange, some bergamot that gets aromatic in the heart from the lavender lift and a geranium assisted soapiness. The base then becomes a creamy vanillic cedar tobacco. It's very good; I have to give them props for being the first of the Ultime clones.

It's Essential Rasasi It does have similarities to L'Homme Ultime Yves Saint Laurent But It's Essential doesn't have the rose or ginger that you get in Ultime. However it smells great, and should be great for outdoors, sunny day, summer, exercise, gyms, office, schools etc because it's refreshing and fresh. Good that it's inexpensive and you can overspray it without much thoughts. Spray is pretty good. The presentation is simple but comes with a small sample vial of the new Brilliant Silver and a sheet of catalog of their fragrances. Not bad at all.

Such a hidden gem, as a dupe of a discontinued fragrance not many people know the original and so there is not many people looking for a dupe, but this is my favorite fragrance so far, it has the distinct top middle and base notes, but as a big tobacco fan I can always enjoy this on me, as a cheap fragrance it is so worth it, definitely get this even as just a blind buy that's what I did. it is not an overpowering smell at all and is very safe for use anywhere. you definitely should get it

Got this on a recommendation and hated it. Left it on the shelf for a month or so and came back to it, and now I love it. I couldn't tell you why specifically; I can't tell you if i just grew to like it or if it went through maturation sitting on the shelf, but boy it is great. I know this is inspired by the discontinued YSL L'Homme Ultime, but I never knew that scent for comparison, none the less I like the fragrance. It's very unique and I have nothing else like it in my collection.

A great citrus and floral scent, with a slight tobacco in the background after an hour or two. This smells so fresh and it's great for the price point. Unfortunately for me, it does not project or perform at all. It's mainly a skin scent for me, and the longest it'll last is like 4 hours at best. Great smell otherwise, I'd definitely buy YSL ultime if it was still in stores if it's anything like this.

Wore this at work in weather that was 40C with the humidity absolutely sweating my bag off and this perfume really shined. Smelt amazing and lasted very well. Close to ultime, can't say it's exact because I haven't smelt it in a while but to say it had nothing to do with it or even come close to ultime is delusional. Lasts longer than it too. Great cheapy!

Been rotating this and my Ultime on and off since picking this up. This is 90% Ultime, and to say otherwise is absolute nonsense. This outlasts my Ultime by miles. To the point that I am spraying this over my Ultime just to get some legs out of it. My Ultime won't be missed when the bottle runs dry. Just my personal experience.

Don't know why someone would hate this fragrance. Whether it smells like lhomme ultime or not, it's still a great cheapie that will make you smell pleasant to everybody, probably even those who do not like perfumes. And someone marked it as overpriced. If $20+ is overpriced, maybe perfumes are not for such an individual...

It's Essential is really good. Rasasi hasn't really let me down. This fragrance is smooth, floral (rosy) and lasts all day. It reminds me of Ultime and also Dunhill X-Centric but stronger. Projects off clothes all day. My girl was into it. This is exceptional value.

love this fragrances so muchh, good fresh cheapies, its airy really uplifting floral fresh scents. great for everyday / signature fragrances. the opening kinda smells like "salty / sweaty" (?), and the performance is mid. but great fragrance overall 9/10

A more citrusy version of L'Homme Ultime. Same exact DNA as OG but instead of the rose note, amps up the bergamot/orange. In my opinion, I enjoy this more since it is more versatile for high heat.

Absolutely amazing, my best and strongest summer fragrance in my collection. Opening is a little sour but i dont care. 8/10

What a gem of a perfume this is. Blind buy safe, very seductive smelling little green as well. Blend is great in this. 9/10

My daily rotation as freshie fragrances. How i'd like this perfume? Rate talks.. Rate 9.5/10 ✨

Dry down is 100% Baux L'Occitane. Nice opening. 9/10 Scen, 8/10 performance. So cheap.
