Junoon Satin

let me start by saying....what a fabulous presentation...bravo..10/10. now the smell...its very cozy and rich...not cloying or animalic in nature...i have been wearing this for sometime...yet to review it...but i get the up class vibe of Kalemat black..the most wearable chocolaty wood in the world..its clean, lil dark, gourmand like...and lots of amber as well. i think this Junoon Satin is for the most luxurious men/women, who want to remain under stated..away from general public and just enjoy the beautiful mild aroma of it...its probably best for fall night time...if you are gonna get intimate with your lady or man...this is what will smell like making love in heavens.... lovely fragrance...has a tom ford vibe in it..like mild tobacco vanille type but not anywhere near as cloying... these are some thoughts i have gathered so far...and i cant believe my beloved rasasi is producing such quality fragrances...no wonder they are selling so many units of SO MANY fragrances..im lucky to own and experience a lot...from their basic to high end boruzz line...love you Rasasi...someday i wish i could own all their fragrances this is timeless classic...for sophisticated people :) 10/10 in every way...performance perhaps 8/10 :)

"Junoon-Satin, Pour Homme, is an expression of confidence, charisma, and effortless charm. The fragrance opens on the fresh masculine notes of bergamot, meandering through spice-inflected floral accords to culminate in a dark, intensely smoky and woody base laced with a hint of raw sensual energy provided by oud and musk." This is how the perfume is described by Rasasi themselves. This is not an Eastern-oriented perfume, it was conceived in collaboration with a Western perfume house, and this is very evident once you smell it. This one combines western innovation with eastern quality perfumes, making it a winner all the way. It's definitely a unisex fragrance, it has very prominent floral sweet notes which most women can wear comfortably if they don't mind heavy perfumes, and this one is HEAVY. The bergamot is weak, florals are strong, and I can swear I can smell strawberry there although it's not mentioned in the notes! there are some woody oud notes in the background, but they hold the perfume together rather than run the show. Musk is also there and becomes very prominent in the dry down, it is clean soapy white musk. Sillage and longevity, monstrous! Surely a niche addition from Rasasi

Only a tiny bit feminine for a men’s fragrance but this is beautiful, silky and for a confident, athletic, man. A little floral and only very slightly sweet with a touch of leather and oud in the background which grounds it as a man’s fragrance. Two sprays are enough, it’s relatively powerful, with a decent projection such that the wearer will be able to smell it for hours, let alone the others around you. There are similarities with the sweet notes from Al Nashama Caprice or YSL LNDH, except this smells more luxury with gentle leather notes blended in. I tend to use it before bedtime or nighttime only. It’s well blended and there’s no harshness or synthetic sense to it. This is just magic to layer with any other woody, dry, oudy fragrance that is not good on its own and needs a lift because it doesn’t bring citrus or any other problematic or clashing notes. This should be available in 100ml!

So I will be the first to review this gem. Everything about this new line from rasasi screams luxury, starting from the box, which slides upwards to reveal the perfume; the bottle itself is a display piece, very heavy glass with polished cap and base made of heavy plastic to resemble metal, the bottle looks small but it's quite wide which gives the impression it's of small size. It also comes with a pendant hanging below the cap, adding another luxury touch to it. The juice is very modern, sophisticated, and top quality, I can see the light reflection on the skin for some time after spraying due to the oil content. I will give this some time before I dissect the notes, I'm sure it will develop over the next few hours, and since I'm wearing heavy oud already, it's hard to spot all the aspects of the notes... To be continued

I was in Saudi Arabia when i tried this. The arabs were very generous with their testers. They literally drenched me in this deliciousness. I wore the tester for a whole day. This to me is a constantly revolving complexity. I get different notes everytime i smell it on me and it lingers around my nose constantly throughout the day with it’s different notes that i couldn’t quite figure out what note it was but each note was gorgeously blended. It lasted long on me with great sillage in the middle of a hot Saudi Arabian day that i had to go to a Rasasi outlet near my hotel and bought two of this. Fabulous. Just fabulous.
