Kolonya

Rasei Fort. · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Rasei Fort. Kolonya is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent in the spirit of a cologne, softened by floral and green touches. It has been discontinued. Bergamot, blood orange and pink grapefruit carry the citrus side, while neroli, jasmine and orange blossom add a floral softness. Lavender and rosemary give it a green, airy feel, and sandalwood, oakmoss and amber lay down a woody, slightly resinous base. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear. It is voted more masculine than feminine, yet reads as unisex. Galimard Sportissimo and Xerjoff Torino23 have a close profile.

The Oud Caravan

9.1

Rasei Fort. · 2023

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Rasei Fort. The Oud Caravan is a spicy, resinous unisex scent in which smoky oud, leather and warm woods take the lead. Thai and Cambodian oud meet sandalwood, leather and frankincense, while saffron, clove and pepper add a spicy warmth. Rose and tea soften the edges a little, benzoin and vanilla bring sweetness, and patchouli stays in the background as an earthy depth. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as strong, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. It suits people comfortable with dense, oriental and animalic tones, and it reads equally well on men and women. Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad and Montale Aoud Legend have a close profile.

Ismi

8.3

Rasei Fort. · 2023

Citrus · Floral · Fruity

Rasei Fort. Ismi is a unisex scent built around saffron, bay leaf and iris, pairing bright citrus with sweet spice. The citrus accord comes from bergamot, orange and neroli, while apricot and tea add a soft fruitiness. Tonka bean, beeswax and musk carry the sweetness, and patchouli and tobacco give the resinous, oriental side. Saffron and bay leaf bring the spice, with iris adding a fine floral line. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings should be read with caution. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on both men and women. Amouage Beloved Man and Side Story Pillow Talk have a close profile.

Cielito Lindo

8.0

Rasei Fort.

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Rasei Fort. Cielito Lindo is a unisex scent that sets the sweetness of tonka bean, vanilla and caramel against rose, spicy notes and labdanum; it has been discontinued. The sweet, gourmand side leads: vanilla, caramel and tonka bean form a soft, sugary base. Rose adds a gentle floral touch, while the spicy notes and labdanum bring an oriental, resinous warmth. Sandalwood and vetiver give it a woody depth, and tequila leaves a fresh, citrusy lift within all that sweetness. It reads as mostly oriental and gourmand; Guerlain Shalimar Parfum Initial and Florascent Oud Caramel have a close profile.
