Rasasi La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers opens with Violet Leaf, Galbanum, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Mate and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, and Styrax. Rasasi's La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is a divisive creature, a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece, a unique green-leather bomb with beastly performance. Others think it's an aggressive, headache-inducing mess that smells of old cigarettes or odd seafood. Definitely sample before committing.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, this scent isn't ideal for the office, where it might overwhelm. It fares better for dates or casual wear, especially in cooler conditions, as suggested by its rugged, bold character, but its unique profile might be too avant-garde for traditional formal events.

About

Imagine a cool, damp forest after a storm; La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers opens with a sharp, green splash of violet leaf, galbanum, and a hint of tangerine, which quickly deepens into an aromatic, ozonic heart of mate and clary sage. The dry down is where the rugged character truly emerges, a powerful interplay of leathery notes, earthy vetiver, and smoky styrax, creating a scent that's both fresh and deeply grounding, with an undeniable animalic edge.
