Rakaan

Rakaan from Swiss Arabian This perfume on the first day of use I fell in love with. I never felt so amazing with a smell after #Hawas in this way. Its love at first sniff. I can now say #Rakaan can be my alternative best fragrance after Hawas from my collection (thats a small collection only lol) #Notes_from_Website: #TopNotes: Grapefruit, Caribbean, Lime #MiddleNotes: Lotus Flower #BaseNotes: cedarwood, Sandalwod, Agarwood. #Presentation: Brilliant. I received 5 Gems from this fragrance house and this was the biggest box among all where as its only 50ml where as others are 75 to 100ml. For a 125SAR perfume the presentation is good. Some might not like it but this one looks fancy for me. Im not throwing the bottle away even if I go out off juice. #How_do_I_felt: I first sprayed and immediately I felt its a fresh oriental fragrance. Its a citrusy woody fragrance by notes. And yes I felt the same. No doubt its one of the best above average performing fragrance. Hot and humid good go for formal events. In the dry down I felt #Raaqi from this house had similar vibe. A nice oriental fresh oud for high hot and humid weather. #Performance: #Sillage/#Projection: It formed a cloud of an arm length I would say. I sprayed when I was in my room and came back in the evening and felt the smell still there. I also felt the smell without sniffing on myself close which I used to do often to check the performance. This with no doubt a performer. #Longevity: well, I used on my shirt. I normall go with 7 sprays on any perfume as I don’t believe with the 1 spray thing as I barely smell it if I do lol. I sprayed on both shoulder as well. I washed my shirt the same day and while drying the shirt I never tried even once ti sniff if I can detect the my perfume yet I tried to for the first time. Well, I detected the smell still there not a little but very well. So longevity at its best as well. 12hrs I can say it can carry out. #Versatility: Its above average as well. Summer, Spring and Fall for sure. On winter if you are a fresh fragrance user, you can give a go as its more oud oriental than other western freshness. #AgeGroup: Its an unisex EDP. But more used for a men who work than young generation. Working women can give it a try too. #Occasion: For a formal event or business meet either day or evening, this can perform better. Not a sporty or date night kinda fragrance. Can be used for casual occasions but I would prefer it over formal occasions. For this perfume, I can give my rating as 9/10. This is totally my opinion with my nose buds and experience. If anyone has used it and felt any different experience let us know in the comments below. - Thank you.

Heavy earthy vetiver moss and sharp soapy citruses. Spice it up with some frankincense and Cardamoms and maybe some cedar. It took me a while to appreciate it. Its got the heaviness of Terre D Hermes. No sweet relief at all. Its a decent scent with a monstrous performance. No dirty Oud rose here. Unique stuff. Only wear a little.

This starts out as an overwheming blast of industrial strength bathroom cleaner. I really hated it the first time I wore it. But then I gave it a few more trys, and now I love. Just let it drydown, and it turns into a beutiful fragrance. Terrific longevity. One of my go to summer frags.

OMG, this is the worst perfume i ever had 🙂🙂🙂 I felt like i am a bathroom cleaner walking in street 🙂 Edit: I am sorry this is fantastic, just give it a time to understand.

Wow, this is the first time since testing Bond no. 9’s Wall Street about a year ago that I’ve been so divided about a perfume. I’m testing the EdP and the note pyramid here seems somewhat simplified : the thing that makes it unequivocally different from others is that the top notes left me thinking I had doused myself in a classic bathroom cleaner by mistake – very weird. It’s supposed to be just lime and grapefruit, but the interaction of notes is giving off something that smells a lot like a wet oil-like aloe vera soap also. In the heart it transitions over a floral note of lotus and some peppery carnation into the base of sandalwood and a hefty dose of musk (is this what others have described as oud?) which is pretty nice – but I swear that there’s some geranium in there as well as something more peach-like. I’m not really sure what to make of this, one moment I find it synthetic and cleaner-like and 5 minutes later I’m enjoying it very much. Again, not sure this one is for me, but it’s unique no doubt. Pro’s : nice drydown and overall a decent summer scent with very good performance. Con’s : the opening smells very much like generic bathroom cleaner to me - try before you buy!
