Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Manal
This perfume is a gorgeous saffron-rose-wood blend that's firmly unisex, despite its 'feminine' branding. Definitely a crowd-pleaser that gets rave reviews, it's a testament to Rasasi's knack for quality at a decent price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Safari Oud
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an affordable oud powerhouse, while others just get cheap synthetic wood. Definitely sample first, as it's not a blind buy for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit

Manal

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and warm, woody, slightly spicy character make it fitting for dates and casual outings without being overwhelming. While reviewers noted it could fade quickly, its beautiful scent makes it versatile enough for formal settings or a less stuffy office environment.

Safari Oud

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

Given its strong woody-musky character and potent projection, Safari Oud is best suited for evening wear or cooler climates where it won't overwhelm. It's too assertive for an office and too heavy for casual daytime, but makes a statement on a date or at a formal event.
