Which Should You Buy?
Seriously, this isn't for novices. It's a proper grown-up scent, a real powerhouse with a classic Oudh profile. No crowd-pleaser, but if you're after something bold and distinctive, it delivers.
Safina by Rasasi is a classic chypre for those who appreciate a true vintage vibe. Some find it a beautifully complex and evolving scent, a brilliant throwback. For others, it's a harsh, chemical mess that's frankly offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a steal if it works for you.
