Tasmeem Men Rasasi for men

Lovely vanilla scent close to dareg and lomme ideal good performance compare to price . I do recommend to try

can someone tell me that is it winter perfume or for summer days?

A gentle fragrance that persists....very vanillary in the first hour. drys down to warm and spicy.

10/10 sexy fragrance.

unique fragrance,
this is not a gourmand fragrance, the smell of cardamom is quite prominent in this perfume.
masculine and sexy in its own way without imitating other fragrances.

Tasmeem is a lovely scent. However, the combination of notes works really well to create a very unique sweet scent. I detect and enjoy the rose in this scent. You can smell it, but it never takes center stage, and its presence actually improves the smell. It's like a skilled backup singer who understands their role. This is a typical sign of a well-blended frag, and I dare to say it's of niche quality. It does a respectable job. It stayed on my skin for 7-8 hours and projected for about 3-4 hours, which is ideal for me. Its adaptability is fantastic. This scent is great for summer nights out. It will most likely be one of the most distinctive designer scents in your collection. Really wonderful fragrance!

Beautiful, warm, & alluring. Got two bottles of it . This to me can be worn all year round. I will describe this a creamier version of Jean-Paul Gaultier. The vanilla & amber notes in this makes the perfect marriage for a wonderful male scent.

I had this one before when I was just starting my fragrance hobby. I was intrigued because this was my first frag with a Middle Eastern origin and thought I misplaced it when we moved. I learned about this gem from Jeremy Frag.

This is a floral vanilla scent but exudes a very gentlemanly vibe. It somehow reminds me of Versace the Dreamer although they are totally different. Great for date nights or evening encounters. Performance and projection on my skin was pretty decent and this is more appropriate for age group 30+ but a confident young man can pull this off easily 👍

Let me give this humble juice a 9/10

All the similarity mentions are misconduct.
Tasmeem is mostly a cardamom-vanilla note.
It´s sticky thick but also airy.
Can be worn all year round.
The fragrance is a reinterpretation of Fahrenheit 32.
The first releases were more expensive and had great sillage.

This is a really strange fragrance… when you smell it up close it smells like BO. But when you catch the sillage, it smells gorgeous! 😂

Beautiful but requires a lot of time and wearings to get use to its aroma. It goes partly in the direction of the Cartier Declaration although it cannot match its quality. Don’t throw this into the background behind other perfumes because above all Rasasi tasmeem, unlike other generic and synthetic hyper-sweet scents, has weight and character. Give it a chance and try it

This one reminds me of Pure Havane but with cheaper ingredients. I’m not 100% in love with this one, but I’d wear it on the beach or at the gym. I much prefer other scents by Rasasi, especially Fattan and Zebra for Men. It’s worth a blind buy since it’s only $35

I am very disappointed from rasasi tasmeem , never last more than an hour on cloths and probably not more than two hours on skin. With weakest sillage.
Perfume smells more like for women than men. Only 2 major notes that i can smell which are cadamom and vanila.

A aromatic and fresh summer delight. Both sweet and delicious to my taste. Performs best when oversprayed 10-15 is best. Enjoy!

Once the dry down kicks in, it reminds me of Cuba Gold.

If I had to describe Tasmeem in one word it would be:

Unique.

Rasasi has gained quite some popularity in the fragrance community and for good reasons I might add. Tasmeem however seems to be on the less popular side compared to the much liked La Yuqawam.

While La Yuqawam is mostly known for it's close resemblance to Tom Fords Tuscan Leather, Tasmeem is very much a fragrance that stands on it's own.
If you like oriental spices combined with sweet notes you are probably going to like Tasmeem. And I have realy grown to like it quite alot because it is so different. Chances for you to come across this in the wild are probably close to zero. But with this uniqueness come some tradeoffs. It is a very potent fragrance. Sometimes overbearingly potent and strong. And atleast in my opinion only suited for the very cold days in winter. On my skin this scent projects like crazy and also lasts for a realy long time. For the low price this fragrance is worth the gamble event though it somtimes can be quite clingy.

Agree with others that it is similar to Daarej from the same house. A youthful fruity fresh fragrance. Nice for a short time then unfortunately gets cloying for me.

If you put this scent in a Mancera bottle and kept the same scent composition but just increased the potency, you can charge $90+ for this.

Complex scent. A little linear but complex. It is advised not to judge this scent upon initial spray. Put it on skin and/or clothes and go out. Walk around. Let your body chemistry synthesize with it. Only then, in my opinion, will you get the full effect of this scent.

-Smooth sweetness from the vanilla/tonka bean base
-bitter, herbal & even very slightly animalic spicy touch from the cumin, cardamom & artemisia
-slight floral/powder effect from the rose & orris root
-even with the above complexity,there is an aromatic feature that comes out the further in the scent life you get

For the combination of the price, bottle presentation and quality/complexity of the scent, this deserves nothing less than 8.5 out of 10.

Thanks for your time.

No, I do not find it similar to Daarej. Daarej is extremely sweet, Tasmeem - not. Tasmeem is more complex. What also makes them different is distinctive buzziness of Tasmeem. The latter has also some spiciness in it.
Tasmeen is not as linear as Daarej but I do not see much of an evolution of if throughout its life. Sillage and longevity are moderate.
I do not know Amen by Mugler so the only similar fragrance I know is CH Men Prive although it's not a huge similarity.
Overall 6.5/10.

If you have sniffed Amen by mugler?! Then you gonna get 90 percent similarities also I can say shares some vibes by Layton from parfums de Marly but mostly in Amen side... great longevity 20 hrs plus, and Huge projection...

First, I’m not an expert, just a regular guy who would like to share my experience and hopefully help.

Sweet, vanilla, some citrusy note in it maybe ?
Some similitude with Givenchy Pi and Jean Paul Gauthier – Male.

Changed my mind on this one. At first I didn't like the cumin note, but tried it again later on and i thought it was a very nice smelling fragrance. Had a change of heart on this

Too sweet!!! It is not for men!!!

Tasmeem another gem and hit from Rasasi

SOTD: Rasasi: Tasmeem as of 12/24/18

Superb scent from the house of Rasasi: Tasmeem. It projects within 2-4 hrs, and performance/longevity to me is beast mode lasted on skin between 12-18+ hrs or longer it varies on skin chemistry and how many sprays as well. Value is incredible. Tasmeem is similar to Daarej, but Daarej to me is more blended and balanced and I prefer Daarej than Tasmeem. Vanilla, Cumin and Rose dominates the notes but I scent as well the Tonka Bean and Cardamom. Cumin is not overpowering but is there and I love how the Cumin is blended well with the Vanilla and Rose. For some people Cumin can be offended due to a B.O. or body odor that gives out. To me to my nose I don't get that body odor scent on the Cumin. Is a great value for a fragrance. The presentation/design is superb. Recommended

Synthethic. A long lost relative to Dareej.

Daarej had a cousin and it's name is Tasmeem

Just received Tasmeem this week from Amazon, did a test scent on my left arm on 12/05/18, so far is a beautiful scent to my nose and I do smell the cumin but not potent and does not have that body order that people proclaimed, it all depends on the individual's body/skin chemistry. I scents the Tonka Bean, Vanilla on the dry down, has the powdery scent.So far this is my 4th fragrance in the Rasasi line (Daarej, Entebaa, and Hawas) and La Yuqawam is arriving soon from Fragrancenet.com. If I would rank my Rasasi fragrances 1. Daarej 2. Tasmeem 3. Hawas and 4. Entebaa

Rasasi is bringing their A game in their fragrances and again don't sleep on this house

Daarej has the similarities with Tasmeem and both smells beautiful, but I gave Daarej a slight edge over Tasmeem

Bought a 100ml bottle from Notino a few days back,tested it today with a good friend

B.NO:R3009034/F1064347
MFG JUNE 2018

Presentation: 9/10
The bottle is very well made and just BEAUTIFUL, someone would guess the bottle belongs to a much more expensive perfume

Scent: 8/10
The scent is a very linear,clean smelling cumin+vanilla+rose combo along with a fresh minty note.Cumin didn't have any smell similar to body odor as some people have claimed. The skin scent is just wonderful!

Sillage: 6/10
Sillage is very mediocre. Definitely needs more than 3 sprays for a winter night outdoors setting.

Longevity:8/10
The longevity is great.Most people will probably need to reapply after 4 hours,but skin scent will linger for the whole day!


Overall rating:7.7/10

Not really blind buy safe but i highly recommend this for vanilla and spices lovers.I am very satisfied!

i love that cumin arabian smell ....
doesn´t matter if it costs less amount of money,
overall very interesting, non-generic yet pleasant vibe

Oh how i wish Cumin stayed till the end. What a beautiful scent it is and for the price it is a steal. I haven't sniffed Midnight in Paris so can't comment on that. Although to my nose the dry down smells like Avant Garde. Performance seems good, i would say solid 8-10 Hours but projection is just average, not close to skin though.

Its can be safe blind buy. Many people are worried about cumin note and how it would come off on their skin. IMO, cumin is very subdued and stays in the background. I wished it stayed like that till the end but it does not.

I may be bit biased because Tonka happens to be one of my favorite notes. This is Tonka and Vanilla all the way till the end.

I'm wearing this frag to work on a friday with jeans and a button up. Temps outside is arounf 55-60 degrees in the heart of the fall season. I must say this is a pleaseant smelling frag. Veryy inoffesive and laid back. Its not a "busy" scent at all more so calm and laid back. It tends to "jump" with movement thats when its noticed by others. Very powdery in the dry down. It has a Midnight in Paris type of vibe. Overall I give it 3.5/5. Based on the price tage i say 4.5/5. Worth a buy. You wont regret a blind buy. Especially if you are exploring middle eastern scents like I am.

Excellent fragrance for the price. It costs 14 USD for the 100 ml in dubai from rasasi store.

Very airy, slightly powdery and light due to the orris roots and the white musk but thick at the same time by the rose and the semi-sweet vanilla.

Pleasant, inoffensive, romantic, chic, safe, good performer and very affordable.

Tasmeem, with G from gem :))...

Bought blindly, following reviews on various internet sites, the Rasasi Tasmeem. The presentation is rather luxuriant for its price. A nice box, a very nice bottle, a good steel cap, and the good taste shapes give Tasmeem an aristocratic appearance.
But the juice inside the bottle... increases this first impression. Tasmeem by Rasasi is an Extraordinary gem (caps lock intentional). A little bit sweet, but not at all nauseous. Spicy and very well blended. Discreet, but strong in its hearth. The opening is divine, but also the drydown. It's similar to Cartier Declaration, but having much better flavor. I had to choose between Daarej and Tasmeem and I choose Tasmeem because it can be worn also in warm seasons. It has multiple faces. It has an appearance of barbershop fragrance, but also a refined face.
Safe to blind buy. Girls and guys, this perfume outperforms many of the european designer creations. Believe me, I'm a hunter of this kind of perfumes: cheap but awesome. After Al Haramain - Excellent, this is the second gem I found. Amen! :D

Smell 10/10
Longevity 8.5/10
Sillage 7.5/10
Overall 9/10 highly recommended!

very very nice smell for summertime/ warm weather and spring..
..?..some reviewer want the opening remained throughout the fragrance.?..if you know Perfumes you absolut know that topnotes dont last throughout any fragance...if they are not made of Only bottom notes...!! Any way This one does keep moste of the note very long time...i took it on about 8 hours ago its a very hot summerday and i can still smel it around me....wow:-)

Sillage super :-)
Longevity is so long :-)

overall 8,5/10

So far the best from Rasasi house. very unique and sensual fragrance. Good projection, Moderate longevity. definitely will buy again.

Reminds me of Dareej with a hint of spice, I get the similarities to Kenzo Le Elephant which my wife owns and is an utter monster performer that I love. Tasmeem is very nice I really love it. . Solid stuff from Rasasi, my favorite house. Rasasi is hands down one of my favorite houses next to Jacques Bogart, I own so many from Rasasi, backup bottles too, can’t get enough of their stuff, I hope Rasasi stays on par with what they have released, they have a good thing going on. Tasmeem 10/10 but take that with a grain of salt, I prefer and love over the top in your face spicy and or animalic stuff, pungent and strong so everybody won’t share my taste, Tasmeem is not in your face for me but it is just like a spicy Dareej. I could list many in your face loud unforgiving frags that most people will not like but some will love. Tasmeem is very interesting which is why I love it. I own many bottles of some weird off the wall stuff that my wife hates, I personally don’t care ;) She prefers designer tastes but I relish in the odd or not so odd well done masterpieces that I adore to sniff so Tasmeem does not follow along those normal lines in a world full of flanker after flanker of recycled trash, Tasmeem is a very good addition to any interesting collection and has it’s own shining qualities that some can really appreciate. In addition, Tasmeem is a beast, anyone who says otherwise is just nuts, it is however a subtle beast with crazy longevity, the scent remains on my skin 20 hours later, although it’s more of an odd powder spice smell it’s still very much there and not faint at all. Tasmeem is very very strong but subtle, that’s what needs to be understood.

Great scent, very similar to Kenzo Jungle elephant...

I was going to get more but apparently they have discontinued it. :((

beautiful creamy vanilla, nice bottle and its dirt cheap price. I didn't even smell the cumin note. what else is not to like ??

To start things off, this smells a whole lot like Honey Oud from Floris. But, this one is a tad bit spicier as well as smelling more middle eastern.That being said, this is such a seductive rose and vanilla combo. Please don't smell it so close to your skin, it comes off smelling like body odor due to the cumin note This bad boy in the air is absolutely gorgeous and last like 9 hours with an amazing projection for 2 hours. I love this one and I regret not picking up another bottle or 2 when it was only 14 bucks on Notino.

This fragrance is really similar to Cartier's Declaration, but with better scent and performance. It costs less than half of Declaration.
I do recommend it!

I don't like disagreeing with reviews as they are pretty subjective. But not sure I can let "Safe, sweet and dull" and "I don't think it has any [notes]" pass, @jivanshi! Are we talking about the same scent?

Safe... dull: This is a banger. A head turner, and gets a few negative comments as well as plenty of positive ones.

No notes: Try cumin, cardamon and rose which you should be able to smell as soon as you start watching your bottle on Ebay. Lots of others named above.

Rasasi Tasmeem have great presentation. It have eye catching design and its even better in therms of presentation from some of the expensive fragrances out there. Tasmeem have above the average performance for a eau de parfum concentration. The smell of this fragrance is different and can be too strange for beginners. It have spicy, rose opening which goes down after 15 minutes and it becomes more softer vanilla, minty type of a fragrance on top with a hint of spiciness and sophistication on the background. I will give 9/10 for the presentation and 1 point goes down, because the presentation is a bit more fresher spring or summer type of a look, but the actual juice is going in different direction of what this fragrance actually smells like.Speaking of it I personally don't think that this fragrance is wearable during the summer or even during spring, simply because it can be very strong and too out there for temperature over 15 degrees Celsius, but this only my opinion. For the juice inside i will give 8/10 because its not that versatile and cannot be worn over the all seasons, since this for me is more fall/winter type of a fragrance.

they share same notes with dareej

very nice i love it for the price wow
smell amazing all women like this it's sexy attractive
vanilla with cumin spices and hit of flower background very well blinded
performance up to 10 hours
projection up 4 hours
Versatility all year round
highly recommended for any one who found it sadly it's discontinued just buy can't go wrong

Instead of a review I'm just putting my thoughts. I have Rasasi Dareej for men and I get out off by that cumin note and I'm not able to sell it too.. so I guess just for the cumin note I will pass this one...

I don't know to me it smells very feminine. Maybe I got the female version by mistake in this sample. I get heavy florals and rose that really peaks its head through. It has some spice, sweetness but the rose kills it for me. As it dries down it gets better and the spices come through more.. The cumin note in this is used well. Its a nicely composed fragrance that smells classy or sophisticated at times, but its just a little too feminine in the opening for my personal taste. But I must admit I find myself enjoying it more the more it dries down.
For my taste 2/5 as far as scent goes in the opening
3/5, possibly higher for when it dries down.

for an objective score for the scent on its composition. 3.5 or 4 out of five

Performance seems pretty decent but haven't fully tested..

My guess 3 to 4.5 out of five

One of the best from Rasasi. Lovely opening cardamom blast. Very unique scent. Moderate sillage and lasts from 6 to 8 hours on my skin. Costs $15 here in UAE. For that price, you surely can't go wrong.

This is Rasasi's best men's fragrance in my opinion, despite it being one of their cheapest price-wise. To me, it resembles Burberry Brit - but punchier and with better projection. As with most Rasasi EDPs, the performance is otherworldly. If you don't like this scent, there's a high probability you won't be impressed with any of the brand's other offerings.

EDIT (March 1st): Disregard my review above. It was based on my experience during the time I was using Tasmeem (2003-ish to 2010). Today, I visited an official Rasasi store for the first time since 2014. They reformulated the crap out of this fragrance, to the point where it bears NO resemblance to the one I distinctly remember. The salesperson confirmed as much. It's a completely different scent now. No more choc-chip cookie powderiness - just your typical hand sanitizer smell. They also jacked-up the price by exactly two-thirds.

On a separate note, I've got some sad news for all you Al Wisam Day/Evening fans. Those two have been watered-down heavily, although the price remains the same.

tried it at the rasasi store and it is one of their cheaper fragrances. the performance is not that great it stays close to the skin and lasts for 3-4 hours but the smell is very good and definitely unique. What i get from this is a nice clean creamy freshness with a hint of sweetness. it performs just like Armani code and smells classy. it is definitely worth the price and better than most designer frags

Wow very different I smell cumin but its minty not BO or bad in anyway was expecting taco or cooking cumin smell. But no cumin very light at opening and becomes a beautiful Rose/Vanilla spicy minty mix as the cumin fades. The vanilla/rose become the main players as it drys down. Very complex and well blended was a blind buy based on reviews. Just sprayed on 10 mins ago or so bit first impressions are wow I like this.

Absolutely unique and interesting scent with a decent performance!!!

This scent is nice and very different.
Would buy it again.
Batch 10/2016
Sillage three to six feet from my body.
last a little over 8 hours.
3.4oz bottle $17.00

Upon first smelling this I did not like it very much. However, the second day it smelled different and waaaaay better. I don't know what happened exactly but I have read previously about the first couple sprays of perfumes being misleading, and I have to say that it happened to me with this perfume.

It's spicy and sweet but not cloying. Definitely a nice scent that got me a complement from a coworker immediately. It projects very well and I am yet to test it's longevity but it seems to be above average.

Overall, I am happy with the blind buy. Tasmeem and Daarej are really both worth trying and I am loving both. Rasasi continues to be one of my favorite houses so far, I own La Yuqawam pour homme, Al Wisam Day, Daarej, and Tasmeem and they all are high quality.

Tasmeem:
Scent 8.5/10
Projection 8/10
Longevity is decent

Hi! Merry Christmas my Friends in Fragrantica.....Rasasi Tasmeem is my gift in Holidays TODAY....WOW! THIS IS BEST FRAG.IN RASASI... NICE AND SWEET SCENT - ROSES AND VANILLA... REMINDS THIERRY MUGLER ANGEL WOMAN....GREAT UNISEX! I LOVE IT. Best Bottle.... Namaste!

This comes off a little like Dareej with the Cumin, but lighter and a touch of a powdery feel. I assume it is the Orris Root.

The cumin is there in the beginning, but it burns off quick. You are left with a cardamom, vanilla, SLIGHTLY powdery, non cloying non synthetic composition.

What really helps this fragrance is the artemisia. The bush type of bitterness was put into place very nicely to prevent it becoming to sweet. Very inoffensive 5 mins after the cumin goes away, which I don't mind. As I alluded to before, Dareej cumin note stays longer which also improves the projection and longevity in THAT fragrance.

Back to Tasmeem, it is a very good fragrance and not generic at all compared to Western fragrances. Longevity is 6 hours with 2 hrs approx. of projection on my skin.

In addition, this is an all season fragrance, but I would take it easy on the sprays in hot temps and office settings. All age safe too.

8.5/10 for price, uniqueness (compared to western frags), crowd pleasing, and of COURSE-- price.

Review coming soon...

For $20 this is the bargain of the century when you look at what's being charged for the same old tired line of citrus aquatic department store retreads.
Tasmeem does start out with that blast of cumin but that settles down quickly and it becomes a fantastic spicy vanilla to my nose. I suppose there's a hint of rose in there but it's hard to detect. Either way there's something, maybe the cumin, that keeps it from being just a straight vanilla. $20 is a steal. Just my opinion of course.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. The first Rasasi fragrance I bought and it was a stunner.
Sweet, spicy, delectable. My husband wears this and I want to eat him

It is a very sweet powdery rose+vanilla perfume IMO. Definitely unisex for me. Call it as a sweet vanilla rose powder. Longevity is definitely 6 to 8 hours. Sillage is little below average. Bottle design is good. Wear it on the evening. With this am not having a feeling that i sprayed perfume over me, it makes me feel like i just applied powder on me. For the Price it is good but too powdery. Overall 6.25/10.

As I wear this cologne, people around me usually tell me they can smell it. To my nose it smells like powdery, flowery, and even slightly soapy. Not in a bad way, this cologne to me is a definite unisex cologne. I get a good 7-8 hours out of it, the sillage is a couple of feet of distance. The powder is the strongest note I keep getting from Tasmeem. I spray my body with a good 6-8 sprays after a shower, then right before I walk out the door to go to work I re-spray my chest and neck with a few more ontop of my clothes. I can still smell the cologne when I am on my drive home. 8 hours baby.
If you are looking for a powdery, soapy, flowery fragrance, that in fact reminds me of a perfumy smell, then this is your grab. I am not disappointed that I have this cologne, but i'm not going to buy a second bottle.

Hope this helps!

Tasmeem's beauty will definitely depend on skin chemistry. On my skin it is a versatile fresh spicy, mild soapy, balsamic, sensual and very aromatic perfume. Tasmeem is dominated by tonka bean (top to heart) but made refined with other notes. The rose and artemisia were merely a support yet so well done that it's giving more depth to the composition. The spices are just right and didn't exude any body odor vibe. There is a faint powdery smell (must be from the musk, vanilla and tonka) but how the powder essence mixes with the sweetness of Amber, sandalwood and patchouli, tamed it.
It is a complex smell but never heavy. There is a soft barbershop and a little soapy feel to it, It is also quite synthetic. There are phases in this scent journey that reminded me of Bond no. 9 Riverside Drive, Creed Original Santal and finally, a prominent patchouli-vanilla dry down that is similar with Jean Paul G. Le Male. This can be the Le Male niche version if it was made less synthetic. Versatile indeed for all seasons and occasions. But I must agree, can be very challenging on other wearers due to the spices, tonka and musk.
If Tasmeem works for you, it can easily become a men and women pleaser. Despite the similarities with other perfumes, Tasmeem is a wonderful addition to your wardrobe. Projection and longevity are top notch too. 8/10

My bottle of the much heralded Tasmeem arrived yesterday so I wore it last night and again today. I'm one of those people who have difficulty with cumin and this fragrance opens with a huge blast of it. However, it largely subsides after a few minutes but is always present. I have Rasasi Dareej (a somewhat similar kind of a Oriental Spicy) and the cumin in that one is intolerable to my sense and gave me a light skin rash. Moreover, I experienced that "This smells like Bleu de Chanel" moment but it was fleeting, at best, as this fragrance has more of a waxy vibe slightly reminiscent of Lanvin Avant Garde throughout the mid and drydown.

I enjoyed wearing this fragrance and, other than the opening, the cumin didn't get out-of-control. However, I did not love Tasmeem and found it a bit challenging to wear. On one hand, it has a lightly-sweet, fresh, playful side. On the other hand, it also has a waxy, ambery, powdery, spiced-rose and tonka bean side that is a bit too heavy to be a warm-weather scent. My feeling was that I prefer wearing other fresh fragrance over Tasmeem, and Avant Garde does this waxy-spicy vibe much better.

Performance is descent in that Tasmeem lasted around 6-hours on my skin and projected moderately. Moreover, if one sniffs their skin directly they'll probably smell a some of that cumin BO...but it's just a subtle spiced accord if one were to smell it a foot or more off their arm. I don't know if this will be well-received by the ladies, but I didn't receive a single compliment in my two wearings. I'll update, as needed. Overall, I like it but someone had better be comfortable with cumin if they purchase a bottle.

Update: it has been more than year since I purchased this fragrances and I am like it more and more with every wearing; a strong like.

Another review for fragrantica readers of one of my rose scents in time for Valentines day. Rasasi Tasmeem for men is a Tropicana rose. The Tropicana is an absolute classic but like many off patent roses that sell for a reasonable prices, it comes with challenges. The Tropicana is one of those roses that rose fans always want to grow ... once. Its vigorous, blooms a lot and is beautiful, and it changes but the leaves will mildew on you with ease. Tasmeem like Tropicana is a warm rose and it creeps over to the salmon - orange side of the rose ledger.

Tasmeem is a challenge to figure out. It changes and it comes and it goes. It has cumin in it and I know that it can be off putting to some and enjoyable to others and cumin is a controversial note in fragrances. Actually I like cumin and would recommend this fragrance to others who do as well. What I think is going on is that the oils from the rose get absorbed into the skin but the spices sit on top of it. As a result, this is one of those fragrances that is going to give people different looks depending on how and when they wear it. I have worn this one a bit and I enjoy it best when I am not in any danger of perspiring and activating the spices and the cumin.

For me it is a winter scent only with rare usage potential on colder days in late fall and early spring. I will be retiring it to the winter season shelf soon as I bring the spring and summer scents to the front shelf. Wear this in the summer at your own peril. But hey ... do what you want. The rose is this scent is lovely. And I think the blend is good. The different notes dance around and give you varied looks and notice and as many times as I have worn this, I still get surprised a bit each new time that I do. Tasmeem is a very warm rose for winter use and will completely give you different looks depending on temperature, perspiration, heavy or light spray usage, wind, and a variety of other factors. With the spice sitting on the skin and the rose glowing inside of it, I think of this as a scent for a Quinceanera. You have warmth of family and love, and roses, and spicy foods, and music and dancing and warmth and happiness. Tasmeem is a celebration for a cold season.

Performance and sillage is hard to rate. This fragrance comes and goes and it is easy to over spray. Its almost hard to smell on yourself but it easily noticeable to others. I can smell this better after 16 hours than I can 8. I put this on wear it all day and wake up and it smells better on waking than it did the day before midday. I think this is one of those guys where the nose gets anosmic to it and yet its still soldiering onward and you wake up and there it is again. It is easy to wear, easy to like, doesn't get complaints but not really a stand out compliment getter. The rose is inviting and warm and gets in your skin while the spices kind of dust around the surface and are noticeable at times and blown to the wind at others. Make no mistake, if you are perspiring, even a little bit, that cumin and those spices will stick to you and this is a different fragrance when they start glowing and covering up the rose.

My usage of this fragrance has been strong. I believe that people "usually" should not review a scent unless they have become acquainted with it. I do not like reviews from a one time use of a .5 ml sample. Sometimes a fragrance will shift around on you a bit and it takes time to get to know it. Tasmeem is one of them. The Tropicana rose will give you a lot of different looks. Sometimes its a warm orange, sometimes a delicate apricot, and other times almost a pinkish salmon orange. Tasmeem is a different fragrance in winter than it is in summer, or in night versus day or rainy versus dry. I wear this fragrance a lot. And I enjoy it. Its fair to say that my bottle has a big dent in it from use. However, once my bottle is done which is not too far along in the future. Tasmeem will be but a memory. I do not want a backup bottle of it and I would not want to replace it. Tasmeem is like a trip to Disney World where you leave a day early before you see it all and you remember it with fondness; but when you stay a day extra and it becomes touristy to you that it leaves a sour taste. I want Tasmeem to end early when it still a bit new and kicky.

For value, it must be accorded as excellent. Fragrantica lists Rasasi as a Niche Designer. I expect Niche to retail for under $50 an ounce and Designer to live around $20 an ounce. I bought my bottle for just over $20 which means it lives in the $7 an ounce range or about 30% less than I would expect to pay for budget or drugstore scents. To buy a quality niche fragrance for a 30% discount to what you could expect to spend for a budget scent is fabulous. It is however hard to find and you pretty much would have to blind buy should you want to try it. I hate to admit it but I have spent more on certain samples here and there than I did on a full bottle of this fragrance. I really do not know whether to put this house in budget, designer, or niche. It kind of cuts across all of them. But who cares really about labels? This is one of the best buys you will find in the sub $10 an ounce fragrance world.

Overall, I am going to rate this one at 83. It crosses the line into being a good fragrance but doesn't quite get to a solid B and yet is a little bit better than a B-. Its a couple ticks below Cartier Declaration D'un Soir to me but is really getting a good rating from me when you consider that I am placing it a tick ahead of Bleu de Chanel. Some of this rating is price and performance rather than smell. But sometimes, Id rather smell good at the movies with a friend than smell good at home with a dvd rental alone. Tasmeem is a worthy purchase that I am glad that I made.

The Tropicana is a funny rose. It is one of those roses that every rose fan knows about and is a classic. It is big, has good repeat blooms and is all over the place and surprising in the variety of looks that it gives you. Its easy to buy and easy to grow. But the thing about it is that it is a very thirsty rose. And yet its prone to mildew. It seems to do best in dry desert gardens where you can water the soil but still keep moisture off the leaves. And it is a rose that can require more care than the others.

Tasmeem is much like the Tropicana. It gives you a very different look than most roses. While many rose fragrances these days look for symbiosis with oud or vanilla or some kind of wood to distract from the attar of the rose, Tasmeem goes in a different direction with a spicy mexican gourmand type of rose or perhaps that of a middle eastern bazaar.

There is something very beautiful about the rose in Tasmeem and exotic in the taste of its presentation and outlying warmness. It is a rose for winter as it reminds you of spice and heat. Still, you might want to consider being careful with this one. It is beautiful but it comes with care and caveat. Perhaps you might find that it works best when you let the rose shine and the spices compliment the fragrance lightly dusted on the skin when you can keep perspiration from mildewing the spice.

tooooooooooo strong perfumes ...not my type .....

Tasmeem comes in a beautiful bottle and packaging. I was praying this would work out for me.....it didn't.

WHY ?

All I get is a light synthetic vanilla reminiscent of Salvatore Ferragamo F Black.

Performance is a little below average.

At $18 who cares but still wasted money and a disappointment.

This will become an expensive air freshener.

I like the scent but it's too strong and aggressive for me I only use one spray and can't stand it so now it's just in my collection but too hard to pull off

Edit: I gave away to a friend

All my neanderthal nose gets is B.O. being hastily covered up with nice deodorant in a hot country.

Evocative, I know!

If I could get past that I'm sure there's a gorgeous fragrance in there; but I just can't.

The opening is a cumin bomb! Thank god it only last about 4-5 minutes. Then it settles down to a pleasant combination of vanilla and tonka bean with a great hint of musk that creeps up on you. Smells unique and i can easily see this as a nice night out fragrance in cooler weather.

When I started my fragrance collecting journey, I wanted to find scents that weren't popular. My mindset was to find scents that I would not smell on everyone else. When i stumbled on the Middle Eastern House of Rasasi I was blown away.

Tasmeem is a beautiful scent. Be warned though, its sweet and the cumin may be off putting to some. I've come to find some are extra sensitive to this note. The combination of notes however work really well to create a very unique sweet scent. One concern i had when looking at the notes was the ROSE. I was going to blind buy this and a rose done well is amazing but a lot of rose notes in frags can be much. it can be mature lady feminine and annoying to my nose. But to my surprise I smell and love the rose in this scent. U know its there but it never takes center stage and its presence actually enhances the smell. Its like a talented backup singer who knows their role. THIS IS A TYPICAL SIGN OF A VERY WELL BLENDED FRAG and i would dare to say it's certainly niche quality.

It performs reasonably well...It lasted 7-8 hours on my skin and projected for about 3-4 hours which for me is ideal. It is a Parfum concentration which actually means it under-performs for what it is though. I would expect a stronger concentrated scent since its a Parfum but maybe its lack of beastliness is a good thing. If it projected too much it could lean too much towards the Feminine and might be cloying. For me, its performance is perfect...No where near weak and won't choke out a room when you enter it. People will notice this amazing frag though. You can also wear this scent year round. Its versatility is great. Some will say this can't be worn in the summer but id beg to differ. On summer nights out this scent works.

If ur a guy who doesn't like sweet scents you will not like this. And if you hate CUMIN u will really hate this scent. However if you are a guy who loves sweet spicy scents u have to try this. It will probably be one of the most unique designer scents in your collection.

This scent is one of my favorites in my collection. I would discuss its price but it's so low that merely bringing it up will put it in the "CHEAPIE" class...I hate that classification because not every niche scent is great and not every inexpensive scent is bad. But when one thinks of something as cheap, it many times automatically becomes devalued. But quite simply there are scents 5x's more that cant hold a candle to this scent. Rasasi doesn't have to conform to the IFRA so the quality of their scents are many times more natural than typical scents within its price range. I highly recommend sampling this.

This scent is very similar to things u smell in your everyday life, especially here, in the Arab world. Good Job, but not my type Rasasi.

I've just written a review for Rasasi Daarej where I compare it to Tasmeem, so I would recommend you to read also that to get more information.

I purchased this for a recommendation by Deetron and I fully agree with him. This is really good, man! :-D

It's sweet, creamy and spicy. It's very well mixed, everything blend together nicely and the result is fantastic. It's a very very nice and pleasurable scent, with good sillage and longevity. If you blind buy this, you can't go wrong (I suppose that even if you don't like it, it will be really easy to find someone who does).

I find it more spicy and fresh than Daarej, so it would be more suitable to day-wearing and would be perfect for spring-summer-fall (longevity and projection is so good that you shouldn't use it only on summer). Here the vanilla and tonka bean are much less prominent. Cumin, cardamom and patchouli are more potent and that's why this is more spicy than Daarej. In both of them I sense a powdery effect, probably caused by the orris root (powdery iris?), and women love powdery male scents! The rose note is also more identifiable than in Daarej, but it's not the main accord. It's just present to richen the blend in a very good way.

The sillage is between moderate and heavy for me, and the duration is very good (long lasting, up to 12h). From the tests I'm doing, I think this lasts more than Daarej.

The bottle is stunning, and the box is very nice (impressive contrast between textures and cut-outs). Beautiful glass bottle, painted in the back, with a very heavy metallic cap of good quality. On the top of the cap there is a plastic decoration with false jewels representing a design also seen on the box. This makes it visually attractive and eye-catching, so it can be perfect as a gift for someone you love.

Since I've also bought this for 20€ (100ml EDP), I can safely conclude that this also offers very good value for money. It's very fresh and comforting and smells really good (I love it!). And it's very well done: it's not cloying and it's not a beast (perhaps to make it more "wearable"). I'm more into beast fragrances, but this has been a really good purchase. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the helpful feedbacks here , i bought the parfumes based on it and never regret it, its a real masterpeace that last long and quite complex which gives you a different smell every hour.

Rasasi Tasmeem Men is a really wonderful fragrance!
To my nose it’s somewhere between Rochas Man and Thierry Mugler A*Men, maybe 70% Rochas Man and 30% A*Men. Tasmeem Men don’t have the cappuccino note like Rochas Man, but shares the same elegant and sweet seductive aroma without being cloying or overwhelming.
Tasmeem Men starts with spicy notes in a very appealing and masculine way. The interesting thing here is that the opening is not very loud unlike many other fragrances which start really powerful for about 30-40 minutes and then shortly calms down. Tasmeem Men doesn’t have such a powerful start and I think there is a reason – as I mention, the opening is spicy so it’s a good decision from Rasasi not giving too much power to this spicy start, otherwise it would be cloying or even unpleasant… Tasmeem Men is very smart and sophisticated scent from the first minute.
After 30 minutes I can smell very nice rose notes which give Tasmeem Men some floral character and makes the drydown very complex and easy to like. You don’t have to worry about the rose – it’s not loud, feminine and persistent. The combination from spices and rose notes is giving very sexy and appealing creamy vibe. Later the vanilla and patchouli notes are getting louder in a pleasant way.
If a have to describe Tasmeem Men in a short it woulb be – seductive harmony!
Everything in Tasmeem Men is extremely well mixed and the result is very sexy creamy vibe…
It’s an example how a sweet scent can be seductive, sophisticated and elegant in the same time.
If you like creamy, sweet, spicy scents I’m sure you will like Rasasi Tasmeem Men too.
Longevity – very good – on my skin it stays for about 8-9 hours.
Sillage – between good and very good. I know Rasasi can produce really powerful perfumes and I believe there is a reason why the sillage of Tasmeem Men is not “beast mode” – I think the idea behind Tasmeem Men is not to be loud sweet club scent, but elegant and smart as well. Don’t get me wrong – you definitely will be noticed with Tasmeem Men. It think it is suitable for those who find Mugler A*Men too strong and/or Rochas Man a little bit weak…
Versatility – It can be worn everywhere anytime in any occasion.
The bottle is pure class and I was stunned when opened the box. Great presentation!
Final words - Rasasi Tasmeem Men is a real hit and deserves attention.

This is an OK scent. Sweet and somewhat spicey, labeled edp, but less potent than your average edt, at it's ridiculosly low price it is a good substitute for a deodorant spray. Safe, sweet and dull though, since you're here and reading this, you will most certainly not wear it - even though it's likable, it's not likable enough.
PS: I cannot point out any notes in this one. I don't think it has any, just some chemicals that smell nice , spicey and sweet for a short time.

Tasmeem Men It is a majestic masterpiece which expresses beauty in a sensual design form, There is a perfect mix of tradition and modernity in it, to offer an exciting aroma that will instill freshness and energy instantly. The discreet design of the bottle with its exquisite and colorful printing will be the cynosure for all eyes. the elegant designed cap with its colorful brillance conjures a sense of exclusivity and pride
