Raaqi

Which Should You Buy?
This YSL Y dupe is a divisive one. Many hail it as an impressive, affordable clone, even preferring it to the original. Others complain of poor performance and a harsh, cheap opening. For the price, it's worth a punt for dedicated fans of the scent profile, but don't expect miracles.
This is an absolute bargain of a fragrance. If you're after a budget-friendly Azzaro Wanted alternative that performs like a heavyweight, Raaqi is the one. It's a sweet, fresh crowd-pleaser, perfect for those who want to smell good without breaking the bank. Just watch out for that cap.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for casual wear and the gym, with many reviewers recommending it for these settings. While some find it office-appropriate, its sometimes-harsh opening and variable performance push it lower for formal occasions and dates where consistent projection is key.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.
Occasions
Raaqi is a versatile all-rounder suitable for most situations, especially casual and date nights where its fresh, sweet appeal shines. Though it performs well, some users find it can be cloying in high heat, making it less ideal for formal settings or overheated offices. It's often recommended for younger men and socialising.
