Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Oud
A divisive take on the classic rose-oud, Midnight Oud is a bold statement. While some find its opening challenging - think 'burned plastic' or 'gasoline' - patient wearers are rewarded with a dark, sophisticated dry down. Definitely not for the shy, but a must-try for oud newcomers and dark romantic souls alike.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Midnight Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong opening, significant sillage, and long-lasting nature, this scent is ill-suited for the office. It excels in intimate date settings and formal evening events, particularly in cooler weather, where its bold character can shine without overwhelming.

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.
