Which Should You Buy?
Compiled from community sources (Notino's fragrance-notes listing): an alcohol-free unisex perfumed oil (attar-style, 22ml travel-size) from Rasasi, opening on neroli-lily of the valley-saffron over a violet-apricot-aromatic heart, settling into an amber-cedar-patchouli-leather base.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Rasasi - Wahami - a woody fragrance led by bright opening notes, with oud depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The oil format's skin-close warmth and amber-leather base favour cooler weather, though the neroli-lily of the valley opening keeps some spring appeal.
Occasions
Perfumed oils project modestly and wear close to the skin, making Wahami a low-key, all-day option better suited to office and casual settings than a projection-forward evening scent.
Seasons
The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.
Occasions
Its woody, oud signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.
