Poise

This is a bargain that I obtained for £10 and is definitely inspired by Halfeti. It's got a great presentation, the juice is good for the spend, I've had it for 6 months now and it's a lot better since I first bought it. I've got Rayhaan Tiger which is a much stronger scent and is a very good interpretation of the original fragrance also and the profiles are exactly the same. It just depends if you want to buy a slightly lighter fragrance, which still gets the job done but lasts for only a couple of hours, or get the Cal Cologne Tiger one for about twice the price but projects and lasts at least twice as long depending on your skin chemistry. Either one is a bargain and they're very good clones of Halfeti indeed. I use them both in regularity, depending on the scenario. Horses for courses....

Opens with that sweet and juicy Grapefruit, and it quickly develops into a crispy, woody almost leather fragrance. Very elegant for a night out, turtleneck vibe. Very big fan of the scent profile, I think this kind of fragrance works as a stand alone perfume but if you could layer this with something sweet and spicy, like I have before, you WILL get compliments. I think I would have liked it a little more if it maintained that sweetness as it died down, but still very nice. Longevity will be all day, I got a compliment 7 hours after spraying this and they told me they got a whiff of it from arms length

a slept-on Frag that I saw no one talking about. and how I came across it was a total coincidence, my wife was buying some make-up and I saw a stand for Rasasi Perfumes, tried 7 perfumes, but this stood out amazingly. truly, love at first sniff. the grapefruit and cardamom in the opening are done beautifully, and the dry-down is majestic. an ambery musky tonka beans smell that is a joy to smell all day.

Blend 3/5 linear Uniqueness 3/5 (many have done the recipe in many years) Perceived Quality 4/5 (just ok) In a pile of Halfetis themed perfume, Poise is closer to Emir rendition of Halfetis. Halfetis themed comparisons : Rasasi Brilliant Bronze = Ambery (feels much higher quality than Poise) Emir Warm Leather = Rasasi Poise Fragrance World = fruity halfetis

A clearance purchase of lesser-known Rasasi fragantes. Only £10 for this one! The scent is still subtle, but it promises to improve with a few weeks of maturation. It has a hint of Halfeti and I can see it being used in all four seasons, day and night, in the office or on outings. A bargain well taken.
