Tasmeem Men

When I started my fragrance collecting journey, I wanted to find scents that weren't popular. My mindset was to find scents that I would not smell on everyone else. When i stumbled on the Middle Eastern House of Rasasi I was blown away. Tasmeem is a beautiful scent. Be warned though, its sweet and the cumin may be off putting to some. I've come to find some are extra sensitive to this note. The combination of notes however work really well to create a very unique sweet scent. One concern i had when looking at the notes was the ROSE. I was going to blind buy this and a rose done well is amazing but a lot of rose notes in frags can be much. it can be mature lady feminine and annoying to my nose. But to my surprise I smell and love the rose in this scent. U know its there but it never takes center stage and its presence actually enhances the smell. Its like a talented backup singer who knows their role. THIS IS A TYPICAL SIGN OF A VERY WELL BLENDED FRAG and i would dare to say it's certainly niche quality. It performs reasonably well...It lasted 7-8 hours on my skin and projected for about 3-4 hours which for me is ideal. It is a Parfum concentration which actually means it under-performs for what it is though. I would expect a stronger concentrated scent since its a Parfum but maybe its lack of beastliness is a good thing. If it projected too much it could lean too much towards the Feminine and might be cloying. For me, its performance is perfect...No where near weak and won't choke out a room when you enter it. People will notice this amazing frag though. You can also wear this scent year round. Its versatility is great. Some will say this can't be worn in the summer but id beg to differ. On summer nights out this scent works. If ur a guy who doesn't like sweet scents you will not like this. And if you hate CUMIN u will really hate this scent. However if you are a guy who loves sweet spicy scents u have to try this. It will probably be one of the most unique designer scents in your collection. This scent is one of my favorites in my collection. I would discuss its price but it's so low that merely bringing it up will put it in the "CHEAPIE" class...I hate that classification because not every niche scent is great and not every inexpensive scent is bad. But when one thinks of something as cheap, it many times automatically becomes devalued. But quite simply there are scents 5x's more that cant hold a candle to this scent. Rasasi doesn't have to conform to the IFRA so the quality of their scents are many times more natural than typical scents within its price range. I highly recommend sampling this. 7/10 YouTube Channel- Simply Put Scents

Rasasi Tasmeem Men is a really wonderful fragrance! To my nose it’s somewhere between Rochas Man and Thierry Mugler A*Men, maybe 70% Rochas Man and 30% A*Men. Tasmeem Men don’t have the cappuccino note like Rochas Man, but shares the same elegant and sweet seductive aroma without being cloying or overwhelming. Tasmeem Men starts with spicy notes in a very appealing and masculine way. The interesting thing here is that the opening is not very loud unlike many other fragrances which start really powerful for about 30-40 minutes and then shortly calms down. Tasmeem Men doesn’t have such a powerful start and I think there is a reason – as I mention, the opening is spicy so it’s a good decision from Rasasi not giving too much power to this spicy start, otherwise it would be cloying or even unpleasant... Tasmeem Men is very smart and sophisticated scent from the first minute. After 30 minutes I can smell very nice rose notes which give Tasmeem Men some floral character and makes the drydown very complex and easy to like. You don’t have to worry about the rose – it’s not loud, feminine and persistent. The combination from spices and rose notes is giving very sexy and appealing creamy vibe. Later the vanilla and patchouli notes are getting louder in a pleasant way. If a have to describe Tasmeem Men in a short it woulb be – seductive harmony! Everything in Tasmeem Men is extremely well mixed and the result is very sexy creamy vibe... It’s an example how a sweet scent can be seductive, sophisticated and elegant in the same time. If you like creamy, sweet, spicy scents I’m sure you will like Rasasi Tasmeem Men too. Longevity – very good – on my skin it stays for about 8-9 hours. Sillage – between good and very good. I know Rasasi can produce really powerful perfumes and I believe there is a reason why the sillage of Tasmeem Men is not “beast mode” – I think the idea behind Tasmeem Men is not to be loud sweet club scent, but elegant and smart as well. Don’t get me wrong – you definitely will be noticed with Tasmeem Men. It think it is suitable for those who find Mugler A*Men too strong and/or Rochas Man a little bit weak... Versatility – It can be worn everywhere anytime in any occasion. The bottle is pure class and I was stunned when opened the box. Great presentation! Final words - Rasasi Tasmeem Men is a real hit and deserves attention.

I've just written a review for Rasasi Daarej where I compare it to Tasmeem, so I would recommend you to read also that to get more information. I purchased this for a recommendation by Deetron and I fully agree with him. This is really good, man! :-D It's sweet, creamy and spicy. It's very well mixed, everything blend together nicely and the result is fantastic. It's a very very nice and pleasurable scent, with good sillage and longevity. If you blind buy this, you can't go wrong (I suppose that even if you don't like it, it will be really easy to find someone who does). I find it more spicy and fresh than Daarej, so it would be more suitable to day-wearing and would be perfect for spring-summer-fall (longevity and projection is so good that you shouldn't use it only on summer). Here the vanilla and tonka bean are much less prominent. Cumin, cardamom and patchouli are more potent and that's why this is more spicy than Daarej. In both of them I sense a powdery effect, probably caused by the orris root (powdery iris?), and women love powdery male scents! The rose note is also more identifiable than in Daarej, but it's not the main accord. It's just present to richen the blend in a very good way. The sillage is between moderate and heavy for me, and the duration is very good (long lasting, up to 12h). From the tests I'm doing, I think this lasts more than Daarej. The bottle is stunning, and the box is very nice (impressive contrast between textures and cut-outs). Beautiful glass bottle, painted in the back, with a very heavy metallic cap of good quality. On the top of the cap there is a plastic decoration with false jewels representing a design also seen on the box. This makes it visually attractive and eye-catching, so it can be perfect as a gift for someone you love. Since I've also bought this for 20€ (100ml EDP), I can safely conclude that this also offers very good value for money. It's very fresh and comforting and smells really good (I love it!). And it's very well done: it's not cloying and it's not a beast (perhaps to make it more "wearable"). I'm more into beast fragrances, but this has been a really good purchase. Highly recommended!

Reminds me of Dareej with a hint of spice, I get the similarities to Kenzo Le Elephant which my wife owns and is an utter monster performer that I love. Tasmeem is very nice I really love it. . Solid stuff from Rasasi, my favorite house. Rasasi is hands down one of my favorite houses next to Jacques Bogart, I own so many from Rasasi, backup bottles too, can’t get enough of their stuff, I hope Rasasi stays on par with what they have released, they have a good thing going on. Tasmeem 10/10 but take that with a grain of salt, I prefer and love over the top in your face spicy and or animalic stuff, pungent and strong so everybody won’t share my taste, Tasmeem is not in your face for me but it is just like a spicy Dareej. I could list many in your face loud unforgiving frags that most people will not like but some will love. Tasmeem is very interesting which is why I love it. I own many bottles of some weird off the wall stuff that my wife hates, I personally don’t care ;) She prefers designer tastes but I relish in the odd or not so odd well done masterpieces that I adore to sniff so Tasmeem does not follow along those normal lines in a world full of flanker after flanker of recycled trash, Tasmeem is a very good addition to any interesting collection and has it’s own shining qualities that some can really appreciate. In addition, Tasmeem is a beast, anyone who says otherwise is just nuts, it is however a subtle beast with crazy longevity, the scent remains on my skin 20 hours later, although it’s more of an odd powder spice smell it’s still very much there and not faint at all. Tasmeem is very very strong but subtle, that’s what needs to be understood.

Tasmeem, with G from gem :))... Bought blindly, following reviews on various internet sites, the Rasasi Tasmeem. The presentation is rather luxuriant for its price. A nice box, a very nice bottle, a good steel cap, and the good taste shapes give Tasmeem an aristocratic appearance. But the juice inside the bottle... increases this first impression. Tasmeem by Rasasi is an Extraordinary gem (caps lock intentional). A little bit sweet, but not at all nauseous. Spicy and very well blended. Discreet, but strong in its hearth. The opening is divine, but also the drydown. It's similar to Cartier Declaration, but having much better flavor. I had to choose between Daarej and Tasmeem and I choose Tasmeem because it can be worn also in warm seasons. It has multiple faces. It has an appearance of barbershop fragrance, but also a refined face. Safe to blind buy. Girls and guys, this perfume outperforms many of the european designer creations. Believe me, I'm a hunter of this kind of perfumes: cheap but awesome. After Al Haramain - Excellent, this is the second gem I found. Amen! :D Smell 10/10 Longevity 8.5/10 Sillage 7.5/10 Overall 9/10 highly recommended!

This comes off a little like Dareej with the Cumin, but lighter and a touch of a powdery feel. I assume it is the Orris Root. The cumin is there in the beginning, but it burns off quick. You are left with a cardamom, vanilla, SLIGHTLY powdery, non cloying non synthetic composition. What really helps this fragrance is the artemisia. The bush type of bitterness was put into place very nicely to prevent it becoming to sweet. Very inoffensive 5 mins after the cumin goes away, which I don't mind. As I alluded to before, Dareej cumin note stays longer which also improves the projection and longevity in THAT fragrance. Back to Tasmeem, it is a very good fragrance and not generic at all compared to Western fragrances. Longevity is 6 hours with 2 hrs approx. of projection on my skin. In addition, this is an all season fragrance, but I would take it easy on the sprays in hot temps and office settings. All age safe too. 8.5/10 for price, uniqueness (compared to western frags), crowd pleasing, and of COURSE-- price. YT shavenonthedarkside Review coming soon...

Tasmeem another gem and hit from Rasasi SOTD: Rasasi: Tasmeem as of 12/24/18 Superb scent from the house of Rasasi: Tasmeem. It projects within 2-4 hrs, and performance/longevity to me is beast mode lasted on skin between 12-18+ hrs or longer it varies on skin chemistry and how many sprays as well. Value is incredible. Tasmeem is similar to Daarej, but Daarej to me is more blended and balanced and I prefer Daarej than Tasmeem. Vanilla, Cumin and Rose dominates the notes but I scent as well the Tonka Bean and Cardamom. Cumin is not overpowering but is there and I love how the Cumin is blended well with the Vanilla and Rose. For some people Cumin can be offended due to a B.O. or body odor that gives out. To me to my nose I don't get that body odor scent on the Cumin. Is a great value for a fragrance. The presentation/design is superb. Recommended Rating Scent: 7.5/10= Similar scent to Daarej Value: 9/10 Presentation/Design: 9/10 Performance/Longevity: 9/10: last on my skin between 15-18+ hrs or longer varies on skin chemistry Overall: 8.5/10

Daarej had a cousin and it's name is Tasmeem Just received Tasmeem this week from Amazon, did a test scent on my left arm on 12/05/18, so far is a beautiful scent to my nose and I do smell the cumin but not potent and does not have that body order that people proclaimed, it all depends on the individual's body/skin chemistry. I scents the Tonka Bean, Vanilla on the dry down, has the powdery scent.So far this is my 4th fragrance in the Rasasi line (Daarej, Entebaa, and Hawas) and La Yuqawam is arriving soon from Fragrancenet.com. If I would rank my Rasasi fragrances 1. Daarej 2. Tasmeem 3. Hawas and 4. Entebaa Rasasi is bringing their A game in their fragrances and again don't sleep on this house Daarej has the similarities with Tasmeem and both smells beautiful, but I gave Daarej a slight edge over Tasmeem Scent(Opening/Dry Down): 7.5/10 Longevity/Performance: Longevity/Performance: 9 /10: 10-12+ hrs still smell Tasmeem on my skin going on 15+ hrs Value: 9/10 Overall: 8.5/10

If you put this scent in a Mancera bottle and kept the same scent composition but just increased the potency, you can charge $90+ for this. Complex scent. A little linear but complex. It is advised not to judge this scent upon initial spray. Put it on skin and/or clothes and go out. Walk around. Let your body chemistry synthesize with it. Only then, in my opinion, will you get the full effect of this scent. -Smooth sweetness from the vanilla/tonka bean base -bitter, herbal & even very slightly animalic spicy touch from the cumin, cardamom & artemisia -slight floral/powder effect from the rose & orris root -even with the above complexity,there is an aromatic feature that comes out the further in the scent life you get For the combination of the price, bottle presentation and quality/complexity of the scent, this deserves nothing less than 8.5 out of 10. For visuals, check out my YT channel:The Scentrovert. Thanks for your time.

Upon first smelling this I did not like it very much. However, the second day it smelled different and waaaaay better. I don't know what happened exactly but I have read previously about the first couple sprays of perfumes being misleading, and I have to say that it happened to me with this perfume. It's spicy and sweet but not cloying. Definitely a nice scent that got me a complement from a coworker immediately. It projects very well and I am yet to test it's longevity but it seems to be above average. Overall, I am happy with the blind buy. Tasmeem and Daarej are really both worth trying and I am loving both. Rasasi continues to be one of my favorite houses so far, I own La Yuqawam pour homme, Al Wisam Day, Daarej, and Tasmeem and they all are high quality. Tasmeem: Scent 8.5/10 Projection 8/10 Longevity is decent

Tasmeem is a lovely scent. However, the combination of notes works really well to create a very unique sweet scent. I detect and enjoy the rose in this scent. You can smell it, but it never takes center stage, and its presence actually improves the smell. It's like a skilled backup singer who understands their role. This is a typical sign of a well-blended frag, and I dare to say it's of niche quality. It does a respectable job. It stayed on my skin for 7-8 hours and projected for about 3-4 hours, which is ideal for me. Its adaptability is fantastic. This scent is great for summer nights out. It will most likely be one of the most distinctive designer scents in your collection. Really wonderful fragrance!

Oh how i wish Cumin stayed till the end. What a beautiful scent it is and for the price it is a steal. I haven't sniffed Midnight in Paris so can't comment on that. Although to my nose the dry down smells like Avant Garde. Performance seems good, i would say solid 8-10 Hours but projection is just average, not close to skin though. Its can be safe blind buy. Many people are worried about cumin note and how it would come off on their skin. IMO, cumin is very subdued and stays in the background. I wished it stayed like that till the end but it does not. I may be bit biased because Tonka happens to be one of my favorite notes. This is Tonka and Vanilla all the way till the end.

I had this one before when I was just starting my fragrance hobby. I was intrigued because this was my first frag with a Middle Eastern origin and thought I misplaced it when we moved. I learned about this gem from Jeremy Frag. This is a floral vanilla scent but exudes a very gentlemanly vibe. It somehow reminds me of Versace the Dreamer although they are totally different. Great for date nights or evening encounters. Performance and projection on my skin was pretty decent and this is more appropriate for age group 30+ but a confident young man can pull this off easily 👍 Let me give this humble juice a 9/10

very very nice smell for summertime/ warm weather and spring.. ..?..some reviewer want the opening remained throughout the fragrance.?..if you know Perfumes you absolut know that topnotes dont last throughout any fragance...if they are not made of Only bottom notes...!! Any way This one does keep moste of the note very long time...i took it on about 8 hours ago its a very hot summerday and i can still smel it around me....wow:-) Sillage super :-) Longevity is so long :-) overall 8,5/10

I don't like disagreeing with reviews as they are pretty subjective. But not sure I can let "Safe, sweet and dull" and "I don't think it has any [notes]" pass, @jivanshi! Are we talking about the same scent? Safe... dull: This is a banger. A head turner, and gets a few negative comments as well as plenty of positive ones. No notes: Try cumin, cardamon and rose which you should be able to smell as soon as you start watching your bottle on Ebay. Lots of others named above.

tried it at the rasasi store and it is one of their cheaper fragrances. the performance is not that great it stays close to the skin and lasts for 3-4 hours but the smell is very good and definitely unique. What i get from this is a nice clean creamy freshness with a hint of sweetness. it performs just like Armani code and smells classy. it is definitely worth the price and better than most designer frags

very nice i love it for the price wow smell amazing all women like this it's sexy attractive vanilla with cumin spices and hit of flower background very well blinded performance up to 10 hours projection up 4 hours Versatility all year round highly recommended for any one who found it sadly it's discontinued just buy can't go wrong

All the similarity mentions are misconduct. Tasmeem is mostly a cardamom-vanilla note. It ́s sticky thick but also airy. Can be worn all year round. The fragrance is a reinterpretation of Fahrenheit 32. The first releases were more expensive and had great sillage.

Hi! Merry Christmas my Friends in Fragrantica.....Rasasi Tasmeem is my gift in Holidays TODAY....WOW! THIS IS BEST FRAG.IN RASASI... NICE AND SWEET SCENT - ROSES AND VANILLA... REMINDS THIERRY MUGLER ANGEL WOMAN....GREAT UNISEX! I LOVE IT. Best Bottle.... Namaste!

One of the best from Rasasi. Lovely opening cardamom blast. Very unique scent. Moderate sillage and lasts from 6 to 8 hours on my skin. Costs $15 here in UAE. For that price, you surely can't go wrong.
