Risala Let's Be Strong is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Let's Be Strong opens with Chestnut, settles into a heart of Lavender and Sage, and dries down to a base of Oud and Vanilla. Risala's Let's Be Strong carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A bold, powerful statement piece that might lean masculine for some, but don't let it put you off layering it for an earthy, sweet and long-lasting scent. It's a bit of a beast, so go easy on the trigger.

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.

Its heavy, long-lasting nature and potent oud-vanilla blend make it too assertive for the office but perfect for cutting through the noise on a date or formal event. The earthy, sweet character could work casually, but it definitely commands attention.

About

Imagine a rich, sweet blanket of oud and vanilla, deepened with an earthy, nutty chestnut. As it settles, fresh lavender and herbaceous sage weave through to provide a grounding calm. This isn't a shy scent; it's a deep, enveloping warmth that lingers for hours, making its presence known with a confident, almost primal allure.
