Maa Arwaak Rasasi for women

Very underrated Arabic oriental perfume.
For 10$ for 50ml you can't go wrong!
If this was from a french designer brand, it could sell for 50$+ easily.

Soft, Floral CRANBERRY CHOCO-CHOULI. This is a dupe of Black XS for Women Paco Rabanne with good approximation and average longevity & soft projection. Opens with a burst of sparkly cranberry patchouli that sweetens onto a cacao & rose heart resting on a massoia wood & patchouli base. Overall I get a softly floral cranberry-choco-chouli. There is also a note in here that I would guess to be cashmeran that's more noticeable on the skin than in the air.

Contrast to Black XS for Women Paco Rabanne:
This is a dupe, and the chocolate here is dark, cacao-floral/coffee-blossom but the only difference I can detect side by side with Black XS for Women is a faint cashmeran note on the skin. This one takes a little longer to start projecting as it's oilier than Black XS but once it does it's hard to tell them apart in the air. Roughly equivalent performance.

Contrast to La Vie Est Belle Lancôme:
These are different, but I can understand why they've been compared as there are similarities with a sticky sweet & fruity patchouli scent. However, LVEB has beast mode performance and if you like LVEB it doesn't mean you would like this.

Overall: affordable dupe of Black XS for Women with soft performance that improves with dark storage for a few weeks/months after first sprays. This beauty will have a nostalgic vibe for many noses. Fans of Black XS and those not sensitive to cashmeran might like this. Enjoy!

Very nice smell highly recommended

Received it as a gift from a friend who just came from Umra, along with another perfume "Creation" from Rasasi, but not in the DB.

I agree with "Emi", while ما أروعك which means "How splendid you are" smells like Black XS , I find it more similar to Black XS l'Exces... Only milder, more spicy and less bubblegum-ish...

Don't get the comparison to LVEB...

Notes are completely the same as Black XS by Paco Rabanne.

I bought it blind for my girlfriend just for fun and I didn't have any expectations. My girl like it a lot so unexpectedly, Rasasi Maa Arwaak for women turned out to be a really nice surprise. I chose it because of the gourmand notes in it. I don’t want to waste more of your time so I’ll tell you what Maa Arwaak reminds me of - to my nose, it is very similar to Lancome - La Vie Est Belle/the first version/.
The big difference is that Maa Arwaak is lighter, softer and less sweet then La Vie Est Belle.
La Vie Est Belle is the thicker scent with more silage. The silage and longevity of Maa Arwaak – good and very good. So it is some kind of inexpensive light and softer version of La Vie Est Belle.
I'm not saying they are identical - Maa Arwaak have own soul, with gentle touch of beautiful flowers...but you can definitely use La Vie Est Belle as a referent point. I think Maa Arwaak is a very pleasant gourmand scent for women from Rasasi.
