I am a fan of Zino and Barbershop as well as Guerlain Heritage, etc.

In the Souk I have struck at another fragrance and the nice colleague , thank you @Thilo96, has me, after we came into the conversation, a sample of Caron enclosed.
After he was there I sprayed him greedily on and was not disappointed. Thilo had not promised too much, a herbaceous lavender scent mixed with soft vanilla flew on my neck. Absolutely also recommended as a bed scent.

Despite the vanilla sweetness absolute gentleman scent that is classic and timeless. Should probably also be Tom Ford's signature fragrance, not without reason.
For me, he is what very special, classic and yet not stale, as I like it. Directly found a whole bottle then of course to me and now complements the collection.

Is he complex? No, he is certainly not. Lavender and vanilla together with musk determine the action, but that also makes him out. He brings it to the point and he does that very well.

Durability is ok, am now angefixt and looking for the Millesime 2014 Edition, which is supposed to be super long-lasting, all in all, nevertheless, also such a mega fragrance.

I was born in 88, so the Zino is a little ahead of me. Despite that, Zino Davidoff is pretty much the fragrance for me. Beau de Jour by TF is for me honestly an absolute 1 to 1 copy and a cheek to presume to clone Zino. Only in the finish, the Beau is minimally sweeter and longer lasting, but also costs 5 times.

Zino is complex by nature. I love lavender scents as well as Por un homme da Caron and there Zino is just up front. The patchouli, the soft finish, the wood, just everything is right for me here without being too barbershop old-fashioned scent with aldehyde club and the obtrusive.

The fragrance is classic and yet timeless. Also what the price-performance ratio simply unbeatable. However, I must say again that the badge is to be paid attention. Have just swapped again with someone here, thanks to you @Daniel :) and since also again get the tried and tested, but have also experienced reformulations, which are only citrus and toilet stone in the beginning and little complex.

Zino is for me a fragrance that will accompany me forever and despite its low price is a holy grail and is applied respectfully and mindfully.
Certainly nothing for nen 20-year-olds, but from 30 one is with it until old age a gentleman through and through

On my fragrance journey I have now seen a lot and am a fan of not smelling like everyone after Sauvage or Paco gold. Mostly there are great fragrances there even for little money.

So I also came across Raghba Wood Intense. The many good reviews prompted me to blindbuy, but unfortunately I was disappointed.
Admittedly, I was allowed to find all too often that various badges and reformulations have a massive impact, so I was very surprised how far away the Wood Intense was from my expectations.

The opening is very smoky, then comes a little sweetness and that's it. Complexity missing. When I read here of licorice and incense I really wonder if the one who has touched the badge was hungover or had no desire on the day.
Smoke, sweet and then the whole thing also finds its quick end. As I said, the good reviews make me suspect I just grabbed the bottle in the loo.

One of my favorites La Yuqawam bspw. was THE fragrance par excellence for me, 10 years lasting, 20 years on clothes and after I had gotten me a new bottle only a shadow of its former self and a joke compared to my initial badge.

Therefore, Raghba wins with me unfortunately no bouquet and for 20 euros there are far better fragrances that really keep what you promise like Bentley Intense or Dunhill Icon, or....

Hi, also I am totally lost and spend half of my salary on fragrances.
Dunhill Icon was a blind buy too. You can't go wrong for the price, especially with this fragrance!

First of all the smell made me think of 4711 (not only because I'm young and cologne) and the stuff that Ali sprays on your neck after the hairdresser and burns hard. But little by little my stupid nose grew up and I got to know all the nuances of the fragrance. He is a dream! Not just for the office. Someone wrote here in the comments that although it is so cheap it is only used very sparingly because it is so valuable to the colleague. I can absolutely understand that! Neroli is simply extremely well represented and it smells as if you are walking past a lilac bush. Recently I smelled Tom Ford Neroli at the airport for 6 times the price and I thought my part who spends so much money for Dun Hill Icon with Tom Ford label

Can you do nothing wrong with, so do not buy all of them, so that it is reserved for me! Anyway, a really bad smell ;)

Dear addicts,
also I am now completely submerged in this swamp and the addiction to scents.
Fascinated by what people here are poetically doing, in this case I too can do my part.

I first got the scent from the souk as a sample.
The first time I got a whiff of it, I suddenly was 7 years old again and with my parents on a Nile cruise. At that time we were also in Cairo and visited the pyramids. As a child I was totally fascinated by Egyptology and the ancient culture. We also visited the Giza Pyramids and I will never forget the mysterious smell I smelled in the passage in the Cheops Pyramid. It's a miracle how the brain is connected to the olfactory nerves, because the first time I had a sniff, I was really 7 again!
That pyramid smell is Rasasi La Yuquawam to me! Slightly musty in a totally pleasant way, mysterious and yet somehow fresh at the same time.

In the beginning the raspberry comes out sweet, but at the same time with something very gentle and leathery, so by no means obtrusive, but rather harmoniously complex.
Today, all the stuff that I don't dare unpack arrived. Okay, actually, two more scents came in, but I won't mention them. Rasasi is among my whole collection THE fragrance that is most expensive, even priceless. Durability is above all and I will take him to my grave with me

With nothing do I associate more memory than this fragrance, so do not buy anything, so that I remain one of the few wearers ;)
