Rumz Al Rasasi 9325 Pour Elle Rasasi for women

I was blown away when I first smelled this! Smells so seductive and wild. And longevity and projection are beast mode. This was my first arabic perfume and I can say that I am more than satisfied.

Oh wow.
I would have never expected this from reading the reviews and the notes, but it went straight masculine on me, just getting stronger in that aspect as time went on. I check and rechecked both the box and the bottle to see if it was truly 'pour elle', a women's fragrance.

The scent - it's Tiziana Terenzi's Kirke, or something very similar, so I'm surprised I don't see it in the "Reminds me of" section.

It's been three hours and I can still smell it quite distinctly on my skin, so it seems it might be good on the longevity, but...

I just don't like it for what it is. It did not live up to the expectations.
If it were marketed as a men's fragrance, I might find it nice, if a bit pedestrian.

If my husband doesn't want it (it's not that masc for him, more unisex), it's getting sold.

Edit: 13 hours later, I can smell it on my skin. It's on its way out, sure, but still there and much more noticeable than some niche scents 5 minutes after application (yes, I'm looking at *you*, Minuit et Demi).

This is such a lovely fragrance!!! Love at first sniff for me. I adore it!!!! Its NOT a typically girly kinda scent if someone is looking for a totally girly girl fragrance. This one is for sporty type.. Like a Ralph Lauren Big Pony type, Lacoste type.. I'm a huge fan of such fragrances as i live in a hot and humid country and i reach for such fragrances most often. This is so true to its notes, it has iris, i definitely get the vanilla, sandalwood and the mild sweetness that adds to it's amazingly beautiful scent profile.. ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE! This is super high quality trust me.. It's value for money, most expensive smelling. I really think this one should get more attention than it has now. It is wayyyy better than so many of my expensive perfumes!!!! This is good for casual outings or office wear, even vacation, or special events.. Any setting would be fine.. it's such a great perfume.. I'm so glad i ended up buying it!! Rasasi makes high quality fragrances seriously!! I bought their Shaghaf, Entebaa, Shuhrah all pour femme versions.. yet to buy Jasmine wisp though.. out of all those Rumz al Rasasi tops!!! OMG

I must be totally nose blind for this one. It's really weak with zero sillage. It's mostly cedar and leans to the masculine side. I'm genuinely surprised it's got so many positive reviews. I'm glad I ordered a sample and didn't blind buy.

I really love this. Everyone that knows me or has EVER talked to me, knows I’m obsessed with Zebras, so when I seen this perfume I knew I had to have it! I love it. The smell is beautiful, love a good violet musk. Love that bottle too! My friend says she finds it to be similar to Kirke but I don’t think so. I can see why, probably that fruity blast in the opening but this is more fresh. I see myself wearing it in the summertime in Florida. Sweet, fresh, but super cozy, not all that feminine but very sexy. Also great for the cold weather. The perfect night time perfume. Very blue jeans white shirt, but also very Casino nights, live music type vibes. All dolled up. I love it. Bisous

Beautiful fresh fragrance, that has creamy base. I love to wear it in the Summer, but I think it will be interresting in colder months too. There is some type of warmth that radiates from it, very pleasant.

Conclusion: I would rather smell this on a man than on myself.
The fragrance is simply beautiful- woody, fresh, slightly powdery in its floral offerings, but it smells in the air and on skin, more masculine than unisex due to the play of cedarwood, musk and sandalwood. The opening is a tad sharp, but that settles quickly (the longer your bottle macerates, the more refined the opening is).
The performance of the scent is off the charts, it fills up the room and longevity on clothing cannot be faulted. Rumz 9325 for her is an easy, signature worthy, all-year-round fragrance for a man who enjoys slightly powdery, musky fragrances with clean wood undertones or a woman who regularly and comfortably dabbles in unisex scents... but it does not suit my personal taste.
Caution: Best to buy a sample before splurging on a full bottle.

I love this one for spring, it is light and dense at the same time. Sweet, woody and fresh, I would think that mint is one of the notes. Lasts a long time, projects nicely, definitely smells more expensive than what I paid for it :)

can anyone tell me how perform the newest batches cuz i heard about reformulating the old components and it has no more longevity that was before... thank you!

update: i buyed another one last summer and i was badly dissapointed.. i got 2021 batch totally reformulated. nothing remained from that strong well blended juice just a faint shadow scent. it's not even in nodding acquaintance with the original what i already own from 2019. probably after 10 years of maceration will perform better but i haven't got that time so.... just shame for botching really good perfumes.. will be good for layering.... :(

Actually, I like it. To me it's definitely unisex with it's woody and musky notes. Not at all like Erba or Kirke. Nothing in common.
It's quite light, but appealing. I reach for it a lot. Do try before you buy.

It was a blind buy but it surprised me in a very good way for that special feminine scent. For the first spray i used it like an another perfume but it was suffocating and heavy (2-3 puffs) just after that i experimented with just one or two puffs from distance of 30 cm approx; than i mixed it with d&g light blue. These worked very well together and that sharp sweet opening dissappeared and it became much milder and sofisticated. i recommend for using this way and no doubt that you'll recieve some extra compliments too :)

This is nearly identical to Erba Pura

I was expecting a woody musky fragrance more similar to Narciso Rodriguez musks, but this is a fruity woody musk

Notes don't really reflect how it smells but it doesn't smell bad

Recently smelt this off a colleague and it was so good I ordered me and her another bottle. I'm a male and I wear this with no issue as it has such dark undertones the fruity top becomes rounded. It's my first rasasi and I'm very impressed. A bit gutted they don't sell it in 100ml as 50ml goes way too fast.

As for performance, I could smell this on my colleague from about 6 ft away and the spillage was good too. On myself I get very nice wafts of warm Amber and saffron throughout the dry down, it doesn't feel like people would be able to smell it on me but I know having smelt someone else wearing it that it has the projection and sillage!

This is MUSK. A nice, cozy and feminine scent for floral musk lovers. Violet, iris and cedar are strong as well, but I can't really smell the other notes listed above. The whole perfume is linear and well blended, unusual but harmonious. Average or above average performance, with relatively strong sillage and moderate longevity.

Sweet, soft, spiced musk.

"Zebra", as Rasasi's salesman calls it, is a clean white musk scent through and through, but with a beautiful twist on top.

Clean, white musk, sweetened with soft amber. Patchouli adds a nice, earthy depth. The cloves are not overt but add a lively spiciness. Finally, the iris and violet leaf add a floral nuance to the scent.

Clean, soft, musky, ambery-sweet, lightly-spicy, slightly-floral.

This is an excellent flavored white musk and it was released way before the current flavored white musk perfumery fad. It is also a great value for the price, scent- and performance-wise.

Zebra is soft, musky, and charming. It elicits a sheer-like texture when smelled. Very versatile scent and works better on mild-to-cool weather.

It is unisex but leans feminie with its sweetness and floral hints.

I "Love" it.

Do not get confused by the naming of the perfumes in this series. This is Zebra white. Zebra black is a clone of Aventus. This is an amazing perfume. Slightly strong aimed for the female crowd but males could pull it off easily. Some may find it bit sweet and cloying otherwise it is a gorgeous scent.

I get strong cassis in the opening that lingers on the first 15 minutes.
"Deeply sweet" with a stroke of humming tropical fruits (where´s the fruits??) behind the wood wall, nice and unusual but just a shadow of darling Kirke.
Got that part sharply sweet/ part strong woody curtain that black orchid also got.

You know that note in Clean´s -"T-shirt" that makes the whole scent feel a bit dirty? Thats in here too.

And just like HollywoodNovaBaby, i get pineapple/peach mucho amigo.

This is spicy and woody at first spray, almost fruity I could swear I smell pineapple. I thought I had the zebra lui version but my bottle says Elle and has a white cap. It is unisex because it’s sweet but it leans more masculine with the woody freshness. It’s not powdery on me at all, more woody fresh and sweet. Very pleasant for a man or a woman that wants something different than typical female florals and gourmands.

I definitely recommend it. Slightly woody, sweet and tart, very warm seductive scent. Unisex. Good performance.

No, no and again no! One of the most disgusting fragrance I ever had. Please don’t buy this without trying, it’s sickening heavy and masculine, absolutely is not for a woman! I’m so happy that my fiancé didn’t wear something like this when we met because I would be definitely gone with such a smell...

Cedar, cloves, violet leaf. I expected to love this scent.

And I do like it. Light and smooth, cool and delicate, fresh and spicy, crisp cedar and sweet iris in perfect balance, what's not to like.

Zebra has managed to produce a smile rather than a wow. Like, not love. It's still early days though, it might grow on me yet. It's been hard to find a well-performing office-friendly fragrance that I truly enjoy, so some patience is warranted here, I suppose.

Update: Nope, still not feeling this one.

I read the reviews about the enormous silage and longevity. I like those! I bought this zebra but i kee spraying it as water, I don’t smell it?! Longevity is weak and if i smell my hand (where is sprayed it) I have to dig my nose into it otherwise I don’t smell it.
Did the reformulate this one?!!


The smell is very good though. It’s different.. I just received it today. Maybe it needs time, those molecules, before it can get longlasting or more projection.

8/10

Upd; I keep coming back to my reviews lol. This zebra needed some time alone in my closet. After warm O2 came in touch with the juice, it had a chemical reaction, which makes the fragrance project like a beaaaast. Dammit.
I was wrong on this one.
JUST HAD TO WAIT

I don’t get it. Mine was extremely masculine. Like a random Axe deodorant. So plain and common and masculine. Huge disappointment. And yes, I hade the “Pour Elle” version for sure. White cap and the box said “pour Elle”. I don’t know what happened.

Incredibly beautiful. Like the black and white stripes of a zebra, this is a fragrance of contrasts. Bright crisp cedar paired with soft powdery iris. Warm amber and creamy vanilla alongside pungent patchouli and violet leaf. Although this is the “pour elle” version, I'd say it's very much a unisex scent. Lasts a good 10 hours on my skin.

Spotted this behind the counter at a Persian restaurant the other day and I had to ask the lady if I could smell it! I agree this is arguably unisex, though I can understand that plenty of men would find it "feminine." It reminds me quite vividly of Montale's Starry Night (and therefore Intense Cafe to an extent as well)! It's the white musk and sweet floral touches which share the resemblance I believe. I think this Rasasi is a little less "sharp" with the musk than Starry Nights, so it's probably worth sampling if that style of fragrance is appealing to you! It lasted all day on my skin, and had moderate-to-heavy projection for the first few hours.

This is one my signature scents for the last 6 yeas! I love it it's unisex yet delicate. I love the notes in it. Starts off spicy/fresh and dies down powdery/fresh/delicate. I always have backups and it's perfect to wear in hot weather. Love!

I find it unisex, long lasting, good sillage.
It's a clean, dry smell for me. Good for summer.

I could totally see this as a unisex. On me it turns very very very musky, which I love. Ever since I've been in Qatar - this perfume is the embottlement of arab smell for me.
