Rasasi Safina is an Eau de Parfum. Safina opens with Rhubarb, Green Notes, Bergamot, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Resins, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Rasasi's Safina carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Safina by Rasasi is a classic chypre for those who appreciate a true vintage vibe. Some find it a beautifully complex and evolving scent, a brilliant throwback. For others, it's a harsh, chemical mess that's frankly offensive. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a steal if it works for you.

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.

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
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Opens with an intriguing, almost boozy rhubarb paired with bright, effervescent aldehydes and hints of green. This tart, sparkling introduction quickly mellows, giving way to a heart of rich rose and creamy ylang-ylang, underscored by the earthy depth of orris. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of mossy oakmoss, resinous warmth, and a touch of animalic castoreum, creating a lasting woody-green impression.
