Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imagination
A fresh, green, and unapologetically masculine scent that punches well above its weight for value. It's a crowd-pleaser with sneaky depth, far more interesting than your average cheapie.

Our Verdict - After Dark
Rasasi's After Dark is a decent all-rounder if you're after a classic scent profile that won't break the bank. It's not pushing any boundaries, but it's a solid, wearable fragrance for everyday use, especially if you like a bit of a musky-fresh vibe.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean, and moderately projecting profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear without overwhelming. While versatile, its more traditional and less overtly 'sexy' blend means it's less ideal for formal events or a highly romantic date, though it certainly wouldn't offend.
