Rasasi Poise is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Poise opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Rasasi's Poise carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A solid, affordable alternative to Penhaligon's Halfeti, Poise delivers a deep, ambery-woody experience. Some call it a bargain, others find it a bit generic - but it's generally well-received for its rich, elegant dry-down, especially at the price.

About

Poise bursts open with a vibrant, juicy grapefruit and spicy cardamom, quickly mellowing into a romantic heart of rose and nutmeg. As it settles, it reveals a luxurious tapestry of amber, rich sandalwood, and a soft, inviting leather. The powerful amber-woody base is smoothed by a powdery embrace, making for a sophisticated and enduring scent.
