Which Should You Buy?
Rasha is the ultimate cheat code for Gucci Rush fans - a divisive, beast-mode oriental floral that's almost identical but costs a fraction. Love it or hate the 'plastic peach' vibe, its punchy sillage and staying power are undeniable.
Penhaligon's As Sawira is a divisive ode to oud, saffron, and rose. Some find it a richly blended, sophisticated oriental, while others dismiss it as an overpriced, uninspired take on a well-trodden genre. Prepare for a strong opening and a dry down that's either divine or dull.
