So my experience with this fragrance, I haven't really gotten that BO smell off my skin. I can smell the cumin, but its definitely in the background for me. What mainly pickup is a dash of fruitiness up top just for a few moments until the rose and orris appears. Then the vanilla and tonka beans start to creep into the drydown. I just got this last week and gotten unsolicited compliments each time I've worn this. Great sillage and longevity. Projection is good. The scent though, especially the mid to dry, is probably my most seductive scent. I've gotten an "I wanted to eat you" compliment LOL. So take from that as you wish. This has my stamp of approval. If you enjoy orris, vanilla, and tonka beans...this is worth some investigating. Great content! Keep em goin!
I’ve got an empty bottle of V por Homme. Kept it around because I liked it so much. Definitely going to try this clones out. Dressed up scent in my opinion.
Mont blanc starwalker (cap) . Artemisia is Mugwort - did not know that. Your description of Daarej was most interesting . I have a sample coming , along with Rasasi Shuhrah. Yeah - Baad BO wouldn’t be good ( I had a recent experience with BO - and it was a young woman in a shop - an employee, and she was behind a Perspex screen too , and I had to stand back from the screen about 4 ft - it was really overwhelming. So am glad it’s the good kind of BO 😬🫢. I always get the impression you are somewhere warmer - Spain (?) , I’m in Scotland and it was rather chilly 🥶 today .. well , it IS august 🤔🙄. Cheers 🥂 Jose ( imagine these are coffee mugs ) 👍
Update: I started my collection 1 month ago, with Lattafa's Qaeed, Today I ordered Rasasi Dareej and it'll be here on Saturday! Thanks for your videos, I hope to build my small collection more with the help of your advice.
Wasn’t long back I had just a handful of frags - now 53 bottles . It doesn’t look as if I’m slowing down any either 🤔. I also bought Qaeed , partly due to hype - and have not worn it yet , but it’s an impressive fragrance . I am more reticent with blind buying . But I still do it . Some of my blind buy hits from the Middle East - Lattafa Asad (sauvage elixir for 18 quid). Lattafa Najdia ( sweet, semi aquatic- like Hawas) . Lattafa Badee al oud Amethyst- Wow ! . Good luck , happy hunting 👍
Nice video man!! Glad to know you listen to Amapiano (I'm Kenyan) its a music genre originating from South Africa. Perfect chill music you could listen to them for the whole day !!!
GOOD MORNING Jose!! Thank you for all your great content and phenomenal suggestions. I have bought a few of your reviewed suggestions. I'm also a collector of over 600 frags and just now am getting into more Middle Eastern frags which is why I love your reviews. Sorry I don't comment more but, a lot of times I'm watching on the TV but, I ALWAYS try to give a thumbs up. Keep up the great work and LET THE MISERABLE FEW HATE!! HAVE A GREAT DAY AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE CONTENT!!👍👌👍👌
Sadly, it’s been watered down. Still, it’s very good and inexpensive. I use a light touch of Vaseline on the spray spots to hold the scent better. As he says , the cumin will definitely come off sour in the heat. I wear it in early spring late fall and winter. It’s a great everyday wear.
Great video and lovely artwork man. Got Dareej a few days ago and I’m loving it. Really surprised that you’re tapped into Amapiano. What are your favorite songs?
I ordered Rasasi Daarej and Lattafa Sheikh AL Shuyukh Luxe. I like Sweet and Spicy fragrances that are unisex and challenging I appreciate your reviews
Great video Jose! This is by far my most complimented fragrance, more than Dior Homme Intense or any of my >$100 fragrances. Women definitely love it. I don't find the cumin here smelling like BO at all. I think it just adds spice and masculinity to the powdery vanilla. And this is coming from someone who doesn't like Cartier Declaration just because of the cumin. But I think it works here!
hi Jose, really appreciate your reviews. Love Dareej. You mentioned La Yuqawam for 55 dollars. Go for it at that. I bought it a couple of years ago for €70 and over here its up to 80 and 90. Rasasi, Lattafa etc are great value. Wore the Dareej only yesterday. Fab and great staying power.
@@PRScents that’s an incredible price! For some reason, La Yuqawam is priced higher here in the Middle East than in the US Daarej here costs only $11.75. Ameer Al Oudh Intense is $11.10. But La Yuqawam is always $72.
@@PRScents I can see your position on the subject. Working for the last 26 years in a non-climate controlled warehouse? I've been around some stinky folks, and was afraid to give our cumin a sniff after I saw it was still completely full lol.

It took me a while to enjoy it.

I'm actually in Easy Tennessee. Daarej has grown on me. Maybe it needed time to settle.
Love your videos. Real and honest energy. No BS. Keep up the good work mate.
Much appreciated! Thank you!

I’m here for you! Let me know if you have any questions.
Hello . What patch you got ... and what the longevity and projection they say the performance become weak

love this frag and love the track you were playing, what is it called
Thank you. I'm not sure about the track. I know it's Amapiano

Daarej is beautiful scent. Can you review Lattafa Asad, I think it's killer! thanks Jose!!!

I found La Yuquwam for $37 USD the other day on Jomashop.com!

I just went to my pantry to sniff the cumin seasoning bottle because of this video lol.
Good, informative review!
And was I right?

Between this and Armaf Craze (Pegasus clone), which one is better and worth buying?
Hi JT. I decided to make a video to answer your question. I should be publishing it within the next day or so. Stay tuned!!
@@PRScents Will do! Thanks 1000!!
i had craze and i hated it. I think you should go for daarej. Just my humble opinion
@@heros0264 craze is the worst blind buy ,I ever did
@@redmango379 i agree 100%, same thing happened with me
Rasasi Dareej has beautiful scents
It definitely has grown on me.
wt hp ur hand?
How's the performance now?
It smells great but I still get that slight BO scent. I'm waiting for cooler weather.
👍
