Rasasi Maisam is an Eau de Parfum. Maisam opens with Oud and Rose, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Jasmine, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Rasasi's Maisam carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Maisam is a real head-turner, and not always in a good way. It's a bold, spicy oriental beast that some adore for its unique character and incredible punch, while others find it a bit too much, even synthetic. Definitely one to try before you buy.

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.

Casual

Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Maisam is best suited for evenings and special occasions where its potency can shine without overwhelming a confined space. It's too grand for the office and certainly not for active wear, but its unique character makes it interesting for a date or a distinctive formal statement.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This Rasasi offering smacks you with a spicy, woody opening, quickly transitioning to a heart of rich sandalwood. As it settles, a clean, almost wild rose emerges, softened by musky and vanilla undertones. The underlying warmth of patchouli and oud gives it a luxurious depth, creating a potent and long-lasting oriental experience. It develops considerably, so give it time to show its true colours.
