RASASI Dareej For Men - Eau de Parfum 100ML (3.4 Oz) Premium Arabian Perfume, Ideal Choice In Men Perfumes With A Bold And Long-Lasting Fragrance for Special Occasions & Everyday Elegance

Dupe of the discontinued Valentino V.I cannot compare the 2 directly as I have never tried the original. Info online says that it has a stronger and more synthetic rose/vanilla combo on the front, but that's all I have derived.First opening it, I sprayed it and was offput by the weakness, the alcohol, and the cumin. I tried it repeatedly for a few weeks before giving up and letting it sit for about 3 months. It's undergone one of the most drastic transformations in that time. If I wrote this the day I received it, I would have a radically different opinion.While it still has a strong rose and vanilla opening (which I personally enjoy), the alcohol smell has dissipated, the cumin has become a nice accent note, and the strength has improved. The woody undertone helps maintain the "sweet but masculine" vibe.The atomizer isnt really an atomizer and is more of a sprayer that delivers a big fat, oily squirt. Luckily bathing in the scent isnt too overpowering even after the 3 month sit. 4-5 good shots and I get a longevity that is equivalent to designer brand EDPs that I have. This is one aspect that most drastically changed after it sat, as it had practically no strength out of the box. The only thing is that it uses a lot. The juicy sprayer is quickly draining the bottle. Luckily, the price offsets the usage. Maybe it's broke, but I suspect it's just cheap.I was hesitant at first, but overall one of my best blind buys. Fantastic value for <20$. It has me excited to try more of both Valentino and Rasasi's products.

Smells amazing very manly smelling. Smell lady for all day pretty much too. Great buy or addition to someones cologne collection definitely recommend

It's a great smelling perfume & great price, also long lasting only thing it should be marketed for women, as it smells like women scent. Ended up giving it to my daughter & she likes it.

I wear this perfume everyday. A mixture of fresh, grape juice perfume. Sillage & longevity are just okay

The atomizer is really good and the cologne I feel is pretty great. I think that it's a good spring cologne. I also think that the college is great for everyday wear but also great for when you want to wear it a long time.

I'm quite sensitive to amber, and it was too much, and amber is a very dry scent. For those that like it, it is perfect for the amber aficionados. I gifted it to a friend, they loved it.

clean masculine scent with a slight peppery type vibe to it.. works best layered with another scent

Smells nice looks as described my only issue is the time it took to get here it came a lil later than I needed
