Rasasi La Yuqawam Femme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. La Yuqawam Femme opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Incense, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Pink Pepper, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Milk, Musk, and Sandalwood. Rasasi's La Yuqawam Femme carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising perfume, often labelled a dupe for Tom Ford's Black Orchid but with even more punch and longevity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair; if you dare to wear it, be prepared to embody Morticia Addams - sultry, mysterious, and definitely not for the faint of heart.

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.

Also Works:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense sillage and longevity, La Yuqawam Femme is far too dominant for most office environments. It shines in evening settings like dates and formal events, where its bold and mysterious character can truly make an impression without overwhelming. Definitely not a casual or sport scent.

About

La Yuqawam Femme opens with a bold, smoky incense and a bright, zesty whisper of lemon, quickly joined by the warm, inviting spice of cinnamon and pink pepper. The heart deepens with the exotic, creamy floralcy of ylang-ylang, before settling into a rich, powdery base of sandalwood, milky sweetness, and a soft, lingering musk. It's a complex, deeply sensual aroma that demands attention.
