Royale

This is an aromatic, lavender, fresh spicy bomb. I definitely pick up some green undertones as well, and there’s practically no sweetness to the overall scent profile. Definitely reminiscent of fragrances from days of the past. Smells like the shaving cream you’d find in your dad’s medicine cabinet. I absolutely agree with everyone commenting below saying that it smells like an old school soap. Very nostalgic in a way, but a lot of people will enjoy that, me being one of them. It’s also highly masculine and totally contrary to the endless vanillic/tonka bean releases that have flooded the market in recent years. Performance is very solid and a few sprays should carry you through most of the day. Not going to be a scent profile that suits everyone (especially people under 35), but if you appreciate the old school fragrances then it’ll be right up your alley. Btw, the people complaining about the synthetic nature of the scent need to remember that it’s literally an $18 fragrance.

Rasasi's interpretation of Drakkar Noir. Classic men's lavender and wood scent. So, what do I get out of this fragance: Classy, mature scent that doesn't come off old or dated. It has this gorgeous powerful lavender and patchouli base, and develops into a more dark woodsy scent. You can even wear this even if you haven't passed the age of 50. It has this self secure feel to it. It could be called Drakkar noir intense, because that is what I think. Compared to the real Drakkar noir, I prefer this. I simply fell in love with this from the first moment I sniffed the a tester in a local Somali food store. I have had 2 bottles of this but my father in law fell in love with the juice, so I had to hand him my first bottle. Had a hard time finding a second bottle and I searched for over half a year, but eventually the same Somali food store restocked this. Overall a great frag, for the lavender lover, so I give it a 8/10.

This was one of my first olfactory loves :-). I had a bottle of it 10 years ago. Very soon after started using it regularly to the office, i realised that i was not alone who liked it. The office secretary where i worked in those days used to appreciated it so much that once she requested me to get a bottle for her. And, despite my warning that it's for men, she gladly accepted it and later, gifted it to her husband! The perfume is enormous in sillage and lasts for at least 7-8 hours. It has an uplifting opening and doesn't change much through the drydown. And, just like other Rasasi perfumes, it's cheaper on the wallet.

After a lot of rain today is bright and cloudy there's Snow and in the top of the mountains and after a long time today i wore this again and this smell makes so happy that I can't describe today is one of the best day of my life for no reason this fragrance gives me a feeling that no perfume have ever did that's why i love this so much and if i have to choose one perfume for rest of my life I would definitely choose this

My first fragrance was this one and after tried so many fragrance I still love this one it's One of my best fragrance I've ever tried it's a lavender bomb if you love lavender like me this one is for you

Underrated..hidden gem indeeeed. Best daily summer use perfume...notes explode with increasing heat.

No.1 in my top 10 fragrances of 2023

My review is based on my vintage bottle from 2003. This is a beast mode fragrance. It projects crazy for many hours and you can pick it up after a day on clothes. It's aromatic and warm. Very nice for colder days. Mostly voted for a warmer weather fragrance here but my bottle I will choke myself an others if I use it in warmer weather. I still can't apply small enough so it doesn't roar on me. This is the exact opposite of many today's fragrances that you have to shower with to get a few hours projection and longevity. Every single listed note is identifiable in it but lavender in mine is more like a supporting note. Cinnamon is more of a warm spicy type than being very cinnamony. Overall, I really like it and I hope I can keep my bottle for many years to come.

I bought this for $8.70usd/$12sgd from Mustafa 2 weeks back. 06/2022 production date. Initial test on tester points me to old school DN. I smelled synthetics but I thought let's try it for such a price. Wore it today, 4 sprays both wrist and inner arm. The Projection is very strong even after an hour. Silage too. My friend can smell me some distance away. But despite it smelling like DN it's too synthetic for me, it doesn't have anything natural smelling it seems, perhaps 4 sprays are too much, even with a mask on its pretty overwhelming. I hope the person next to me is alright. I think I'll give it away. Coincidentally I got a bot of lomani pour homme at even cheaper, perhaps that bot would be more fun wearing

smells okay, its been one week im using, average perfume for the price..its either not lasting on my skin or might be something wrong with my nose,not real compliment getter. Update review! My bottle is about to finish, got 3 compliments today. But unfortunately I'm not really in love with, amazing to get compliments after 8 hours. Just wow perfume compare to price and performance.

35 AED (Dirhams). 2nd floor, Diera city Centre. Go quickly!! Hurry!!!! Hurry!!!! I understand the comparison to drakkar noir but It's actually better It's like the classic Lacoste for men mixed with a little oud Almost like the common Gillette body spray with some darkness eventually. The blue is even cheaper at 30 AED Not bad for $10. Correction, it's great for $10

This fragrance was definitely inspired by Drakkar Noir. The lasting power of Royale is much better than today’s Drakkar. I did a side by side comparison of the two their similar with slight differences but it’s safe to say that Royale beats out Drakkar in the performance department.

Drakka noir from rasasi, other things refer drakkar noir..

That Drakkar Noir comparison is true!

not bad at all i like it . 6/10

This smells like an old school aftershave or similar soaps. Heavy on lavender.

A synthetic and cheap smelling drakkar noir. Nauseating.

Literally smells like an old soap.

If you want to smell like an old school shaving cream all day, there you go! I do not get cinnomon or any fruity aspect of it. It is a lavender bomb, very green and soapy. The performance is above average. I only used it twice for test purposes and each time I got around 8-9 hours longevity, at least 3 hours of strong projection. It was only 14 dollars at a local thrift store so I couldn’t pass but I will give away this bottle to someone older in my family, definetly not for me!

This fragrance is no way young! Its totally for the more mature people imo Well this is as synthetic as it goes (really wat more do u expect for that price tag?), talking about notes its dominated by something meant to be lavender and there I can smell some cinnamon too, this is just not my type of scent, too sharp, soapy and linear although being quite popular where I live, still I find it very off-putting Thumbs down from me Rasasi, its a synthetic mess Scent: 5/10
