Oudh Al Misk Rasasi for women and men

If want to be a walking lemonade buy this
Smells so lemony and fresh
Buy it if you want to smell like LEMONS
for me like7.9/10

This is a true hidden gem! It performs fantastically in high heat. It reminds me a lot of Mercedes Benz cologne.

AC from the YouTube channel Smells Good described this as “smelling like lemonade,” and I have to agree. It’s a good citrus fragrance that is mildly sweet/salty with a bit of sour taste and a slightly woody backbone. The sourness is what other reviewers are calling the chypre side. I can see that, but it can also turn off some people.

While it is very good, and very much worth (and exceeds) the price of $16 here in Saudi Arabia, it’s still not *super* interesting to me. I impulse bought it thinking I’ll like it just like I like Encre Noire Sport, but I found EN Sport to be more interesting, with a clearer and deeper vetiver note. L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme and Lalique White are two other citrus woody fragrances that I find more interesting—with the Issey being more watery and floral, while the Lalique is so smooth, almost smells creamy, and doesn’t have the sour edge this one has, and emphasizes the cedar wood in a great way.

All in all, it’s a good fragrance at a great price, but I prefer the aforementioned alternatives. Wish this didn’t have the sourness, but even then it won’t be as creamy as Lalique White.

Simply put: I LOVE THIS.

Bought blind, and was not expecting "too much".....lol.....but I like to be surprised, and I was !!
IMO.....on my skin...I get a "chypre" vibe...???....green/moss and citrus/musk....a slight "oudy" touch underneath, but the oud-ish affect is not the prominent thing here....IMO.
Performance.....kinda average...but I am still pleased.
Underrated gem here...IMO, and great for the low price.

Awesome scent if you love citrus, its a sour-sweet lemonade with a middle eastern magic touch on it......its a perfect scent for the heat.

Putting my unpopular opinion out there:

If I were to chose between L'Homme Ideal Cologne and this one, I would chose Oud al Misk.

The smell of grapefruit (or lemon as I interpret it) peel mixed with musky florals just does it for me.

I think this is great for any occasion in high-heat. Super pleasant, versatile and the quality/price ratio is insane (paid 17$ fpr it)!

If you're into citrus fragrances, I see this as a must have and a blind-buy worthy.

EDIT:

Ok, I take that back... wearing the Guerlain and this side by side, I can't say that I love this more, but I still think this is very, very good!

EDIT:

Had to write this: went today to see my mother.. I had this on, sprayed 5 hours ago (a little heavy - over 10 sprays).. She said "it is nice, but quite strong".. I could still feel it, but very lightly... Make of this what you will.. Cheers!

I like this. Smells like a little like Oud Immortel with a little bit of Zegna Energy mixed in. The oud is up front and center -- impossible to miss, but its more of a resin. It really smells good. There's ambroxan here, which is obvious from the get go, but it seems buried underneath it all which is a good thing. This could be a great spring fragrance or even fall. Its both bright and warm in a very pleasant way.

2 words : BUY IT !

This is an amazing fragrance. Honestly, for the price its a great buy. Lovely citrus, a bit sour, but the dry down is amazingly good

What a lovely and fresh summer scent that can be had for peanuts.

Opening with a sharp citrus, transitioning to a sweeter creamy orange and landing on a great woody-musky base. No oud despite the name, also no ambergris but a dose of ambroxan to tie up the woods with the heartnotes. Leaning masculine, but could easily be used by women too. Projection is soft to moderate. Excellent gym scent or for office settings in summer time. If you like VM eau Fraiche and the likes, this is something you'd probably find enjoyable.

Overall it's fresh, a little sweet and also a little spicy, probably due to ambroxan, geranium and vetiver.

Oudh Al Misk is wonderful. It's fresh, it's dense, it smells natural, it smells classy, it's super versatile, simple, safe, and just great. There's something distantly similar bits to Mancera Cedrat Boise but Oudh Al Misk is much safer, better, more natural smelling... A closer comparison would be Kiton Men or Al-Haramain Etoiles Silver Homme. It's like something that Acqua di Parma might had produced 40 years ago, and still, today, it's not a granpa smell. Zesty but sweet old school citrus with woodiness. And while it's simple and "ordinary", I can't think of any other fragrance that ticks the right boxes as good as Oudh Al Misk in its realm. This is a signature scent material right here! So... What's the problem then?

The problem is longevity (I was wrong, see the edit below). I don't usually mind poor longevity at all, seriously, but even I have my limits. Knowing the quality of Rasasi's freshies (well at least one of their freshies: Rasasi Egra Men), I know they know how to make fragrance last +24 hours, even the freshies. So when they came out with Oudh Al Misk, I believe it was their purpose to actually make it poor lasting, for what ever reason. Oudh Al Misk is totally gone from my skin in about 4 hours. It's not even a skin scent after that. It's just gone.

But that's just my skin. It may be whole another story on your skin. The price is extremely affordable: 10 to 15 USD / EUR for a 100 ml bottle. If you got interested, I suggest you to get it. I hope it shines loooong on your skin!

Bottom line: very simple citrus, woods and spices fragrance. Easy and damn good. The longevity is weak but it's hard to complain with this price...

Edit: I was sloppy when sampling this: Oudh Al Misk do last and push whiffs, when I wear it on the back of my neck. One spray there, no sprays on the front. That way the source of smell is not on front, where it would numb my sense of smell, or where I would repeatedly check if the smell is still there, consciously or unconsciously. This "checking" behavior is related when I'm sampling and... it's not too recompensing way to understand a new smell. From the back of the neck I get whiffs for much longer time. I've noticed this method works great especially with fragrances that are "gone in minutes" type of light workers.

Edit2: This just keeps getting more and more interesting... It has an aquatic aspect to it and I think the watery side is the reason why I keep coming back again and again with this bottle. It's got something that smells like wet sand. Nice touch! I'm getting some light suede whiffs too. The citrus fruit has been recognized by some as pink grapefruit which I've never even seen. But it surely smells good.

When I tried it it immediately reminded me of Cedrat Boisé from Mancera. The juice is really nice. I did not buy (yet) this fragrance, I have a flask of Cedrat Boisé and when ever I try it I can't help remember the Rasasi fragrace

I liked this stuff! For the price / scent / performance it's a no brainer!

As mentioned many times, don't get fooled by the name "Oudh" because you won't get any. This is a simple citrus-fresh-aromatic yet very good. It's not like a lemonade, nothing like the traditional cologne zesty citruses, but more like the Allure Blanche kind fruity musky woody citrus. There's nothing offensive, cloying, irritating etc. This can be worn without a thought in any warmer climate, in daily occassions.

Now the real good part! Rasasi Oudh Al Misk gave me the most unexpected surprise, by reminding me so much of the discontinued Davidoff Cool Water Deep!!!! I even forgot about Davidoff Cool Water Deep, gave up all my hopes, nothing came even closer to that ever since. But this, Rasasi Oudh Al Misk, I think it's close or at least able to provide same vibe, I am so happy.

Performance-wise it doesn't do much, but for this price and the scent itself, I really don't care!!! Just spray a bit more or refresh, whatever, this was a great purchase.

Update: Performance is not bad at all by the way. I get 5 hours easy on skin and 7 - 8 hours noticeable on clothes.

First and foremost, there isn't any Oud and very very little musk here, if any :)

Oudh Al Misk is a typical summer citrus fragrance, with a juicy grapefruit and sage on top. As you would expect, the middle note is floral, albeit a fleeting phase, and the usual earthy-woody base.

Thus, nothing spectacular here but it smells very good with decent quality, nevertheless. OM does not take itself too seriously and you could do a lot, lot worse with £14.

Hello! another tropic citrus gem from RASASI. Beautiful citrus unisex to feel the cedar and citrus, pushes very dearly similar to the Versace MAN Fraiche, for every season of the year for all. Very persistent. I would recommend! Thank you rasasi.

Danceswithscents is the only member who wrote a correct review of this fragrance.

Don't know why it listed as unisex, because it is undeniably masculine scent.
The bad news - it smells like half of men's shower gels, especially at the opening and first hour.
The good news (and there're several of them!):
1 - it is well refined version of men shower gels scent;
2 - it changes to better after first hour;
3 - it is cheap, but it doesn't smells as cheap cologne;
4 - it is rare summer scent that lasts long time, about 8-9 hours, which for summer scents should be considered enormous;
5 - it has decent projection and sillage all the way till 6th hour.
I also should add, it is one of scents that smells much better from far away than up close. When I smell it up close sprayed on paper or skin, it barely reaches "like" level. But when I walk in the room where I left paper sprayed with it, first that I have on my mind "Something smells nice and fresh here!" Same when I been working sitting 4 ft away from it, when movement of air gave me whiffs of it I found it to be very pleasant.
The other bad news is the bottle, the cap and the packaging looks and feels cheap. Wouldn't make good present for someone who might get offended by it.
I would definitely put in bottle worthy and safe blind buy category for men. Saying that, although I'm not regretting buying it, I won't be buying 2nd bottle if this runs out.

Was eager to try this at Rasasi's shop along with Khaltat Al Oudh. I was told both were discontinued since almost a year.

It Starts with Nice Soft Smell of Citrus Woody Notes with Fresh Vibe and later slowly tends towards Woody Earthy Green Notes. It does not contain Oudh at all. Top notes are Bergamot, Galbanum, Grapefruit and Clary Sage, Middle Notes are Geranium and Jasmine & Base Notes are Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Ambergris and Musk.

This Perfume can be Worn Comfortable by Both Sexes but Slightly towards Masculine Side. This is a Safe Scent and will not Offend anyone, Can use it as Office Scent. It is must scent for Beginners who want venture into Middle Eastern Perfumes. Decent Price for Perfume, Nice Bottle & Presentation & Sprayer pours out Decent Amount of juice

My Rating is 3.6 out of 5

Save your money. This is a lot of alcohol and while the initial scent is ok, even good it is not very good quality and smells hot/burning. I made the mistake of getting a sample and applying the sample via a atomizer. First blast ok, then alcohol and nothing. Scent doesn't last and smells very bad if over applied (which is the course of action one takes when a scent disappears). Blech.

This fragrance opens with a blasts of bright citrus and is green and slightly aromatic. With a few minutes it begins to develop woody undertones along with the grapefruit; moreover the cedar/woods are enveloped in an aromatic, slightly herbal, accord.

Oudh Al Misk continues down this road in the drydown and remains largely linear, except it does become slightly more woody and perhaps even earthy. What do I think of this fragrances? It a nice, pleasant, fresh, likable aromatic-citrus-woody scent that is unlikely to offend anyone. I felt comfortable, laid-laid, yet professional while wearing it. Drawbacks: this will not garner many compliments; the wearer will simply smell good and this fragrances is does not stand-out or have that Wow! factor.

Oudh Al Misk projects soft-to-moderately (personal scent bubble) and lasted 5-hours on my skin. I am likely to wear this one at work (business casual day) or while out running errands - definitely a daytime scent. OAM is something I am likely to carry in my gym bag and apply after a Noon time workout during the warm Summer months.

Why wouldn't I wear this? No particular reason other than Terre d'Hermes, Montale Red Vetyver and La Martina Bayres Homme (I own all three) do this scent genre better than Oud Al Misk. Over, I do like this scent and it's bargain priced and a solid safe daytime fragrances that will be liked and won't offend anyone. But it in the end I don't wear it often for the reasons noted.

FAIL.

Ordered from Beautyspin.com.

90% Vol alcohol ....and it's obvious.

No fragrance from this one at all just rubbing alcohol...nothing more.

For $20 who cares right ? WRONG that could be gas money.

So far Rasasi = 2 good 2 bad = EVEN

By the way I am NOT HAPPY this is labeled as an EDP. Highly IMPOSSIBLE.

I've to agree with all what has been said about this fragrance. A work horse it could be only if it had staying power. Mild citrus scent with hind of oud at the start. Very pleasant smelling. Smells like 4711 and many of the creed without projection or sillage. Works well for two-three hours on my skin. Need to carry a spritzer for refreshing. A good buy.

I got to try this today and I have to say it is very pleasant! A creamy citric with musk and leading into light woods. To me, I find it to be a bright and slightly sweet on the top. Great for someone looking for a lighter airy natural smelling fragrance great for spring.

I bought it together with another Rasasi perfume (Khaltat Al Oudh) because they were very cheap (this cost me around 14€ for 100ml EDP).

As I've told in my Khaltat Al Oudh review, I didn't know this brand until one day I decided to buy two of their fragrances and I was positively surprised by them, so this was another reason to buy this. And also, of course, the good reviews of it that can be read on this page.

First, I'd like to tell you that I like Annick Goutal's "Eau d'Hadrien" a lot, specially the versions which were sold some years ago, but it's longevity on my skin has always been very short (2h on average, the curse of fresh citrus fragrances...); and I'm afraid that it has also been reformulated due to the absurd IFRA and EU regulations about the use of natural citrus compounds on perfumes, so the modern version lasts even less, which is a real pity. Thus, I was really surprised when, while researching about Rasasi's fragrances, I came upon this: a fresh citrus EDP!

So I blindly bought this. "For such a cheap price, I can't go wrong", I thought. And how right I was! When I smelt it for the first time I was presented with a very fresh, very citrus opening. It was not hard not harsh. The grapefruit and bergamot were wisely toned down and balanced by some woody and resinous notes which I couldn't identify at first. "Wow, this is very pleasant!" Powerful, refreshing, and the best thing is that the citrus is not overwhelming. And it gets better over time.

The citrus aroma is very persistent, which is very good, but as time passes, it turns into a darker woody and musky scent, which is a little bit more masculine than feminine (although I still think that this is perfectly unisex). I can also clearly identify patchouli, but it may be a subtle note.

It lasts longer than expected, more than 8h on my skin, at least 4 to 5h with a good sillage of about 1m, and I can clearly smell it on a paper which I sprayed 2 days ago. These are surprising characteristics for a fresh citrus fragrance, don't you think? And if you let yourself go and liberally apply several more sprays, you can get a more than 2m sillage. This won't hurt your pocket (if you happen to get hold of it for such a cheap price as I got it), and neither will it hurt the noses near you (since it's a fresh citrus fragrance), supposing of course that everybody loves citrus :-)

All in all, as mnementh has said before, this is *exceptional value for money*. If you like citrus perfumes, don't let this EDP go away without buying it, blindly or not. In fact, as with Khaltat Al Oudh, I have also bought a second bottle of this. I'm planning to use it next spring & summer all the time, because I think it's a perfect scent for that season of the year, but you can safely wear this whenever you want.

"Oudh Al Misk" is very very good and has AMAZING QUALITY for such a cheap price. I totally, positively, recommend this.

As a side note, having bought and knowing a lot of perfumes of all price ranges, I'm more and more amazed by this brand every time I test a new perfume from them (I can tell you this at least because of the 6 Rasasi fragrances that I currently own). Just wait for the reviews of both "La Yuqawam Homme" & "La Yuqawam Femme" which I will write as soon as I can, because if "Khaltat Al Oudh" and "Oudh Al Misk" are wonderful, these other two are on a completely different level (although they are also accordingly more expensive...).

Very nice and unique scent, and the price is soo cheap ! no one will regret buying it so just close your eyes and buy it !

Just bought my second flacon of this quite frankly, amazing fragrance.

Pretty much unobtainable in the UK except on Ebay, this was a revalation when I first tried it.

Starts off with a fresh Citrus scent that dries down to it's Oud base.

Great sillage and certainly on my skin, easily lasts 24 solid hours.

Exceptional value for money at less than £20 delivered.

Definitely a keeper for me.

What a magnificent perfume!!!

I have to admit it, I bought it because it was extremly cheap.
I looked around on 'Fragrantica' first and couldn't believe it, when I read that there is a fresh citrus EDP on the market. I worried a bit about the name (Oudh), but I thought it was some arabic stuff I needn't worry about. So I bought it!

It was (and still is) an amazing blind buy. It opens with a citrus explosion, but a few seconds later you'll discover why it's called Oudh... you can feel the powerful presence of galbanum.

The combination of Grapefruit and Galbanum, paired with Jasmine is magnetic and hipnotising.

It's unique - 10/10

Oudh Al Misk – very interesting and nice scent.
Here it is put in Oriental Fougere Group, but I disagree. For me - it should be in Woody Aromatic.
The opening is very uplifting and green, which can only give you nice energy. If you love geranium – that is your fragrance! :) Yes! Very nice and authentic powerful and green geranium notes are dominating through the first 3 hours. So that the aromatic part – very green, very fresh, positive and bright.
The second part of the dry down is starting after the third hour – woody notes are more powerful and dominant and that’s the time where the scent becomes more masculine and changing itself significantly. So first hours are different from the last ones.
Longevity and silage are both excellent. More than 10 hours with strong silage for about 5 hours.
If you like geranium – you will love Oudh Al Misk. In that scent there is no oud, so if someone is worried about oud – keep it calm – woody notes in it are well blended and the fresh, green type of smell is lingering through the whole scent life…
Oudh Al Misk is interesting fresh-woody perfume, which is easy to wear and I’m sure it will make you feel comfortable after first apply.

What a gorgeous and unique scent! I love it! Very fresh, airy, but not weak! Rain in a sunny day.

Very loud citrusy and woody opening. Definitely masculine scent. It smells perfect on my husband, while on me it becomes sweet and mild after a while. To me it smells like eating oranges in the forest. Really beautiful and complexed, but to sharp for me. I will give it a try during colder months.

I like it even if it reminds me of strange mixture of Fanta and Sprite + some light woods, musk and faint rose :)

I bought this for my husband because I do think this is very masculine. I love the woody muskiness of this fragrance. I use it myself sometimes and husband always smells shower fresh n lovely when he wears this. :-) very nice fragrance, blind purchase but I have other al rasasi attars so I know theirfragrances never dissapoint.

This fragrance was a pleasant surprise, it is a polite representation of Oudh with an Italian cologne feel in the top notes, but you get this faint Ambergris sweetness at the dry down which blends with the Patchouli divinely, making this a very worthwhile addition to any fragrance collection. Love it !!!!!
