Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive affair, alright. You'll either adore its opulent, smoky honey-tobacco embrace, or you'll be running for the hills from what some call an 'ashtray' scent. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a masterpiece.
If you're after a warm, inviting spice bomb that's a dead ringer for a certain Tom Ford Private Blend, Rasasi's Waqar is your budget-friendly ticket. It's a confident, slightly boozy gourmand that delivers on luxury without the eye-watering price tag.

Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear, as noted by reviewers. However, the luxurious tobacco and honey accords, combined with its 'sultry' and 'magnetic' feel, position it perfectly for upscale date nights, formal events, and cooler evening wear, as many users attested.
