Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - First Love

Rasasi First Love is a tricky one. It aims for romantic nostalgia but can veer into a headache-inducing synthetic mess for some, while others adore its unique, powdery floral embrace. Definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Guess 1981

Guess 1981 is an undeniably 'nice' scent, a clean, musky violet that's an easy reach for many. However, its notorious weakness divides opinion, with some praising its subtlety while others lament its fleeting presence. It's safe, pleasant, and utterly inoffensive, but don't expect it to make a lasting impression.
