I have sampled Rasputin, Tre kronor, Cambodian oud, Royal satisfaction, Mysterious shadow, 565, Endless happiness. Rasputin is the clear winner for my nose with Tre kronor on second place. The blending of Rasputin is masterfull. Its soft, yet full of backbone and character.
Your review is spot on. Great description that only someone who has spent a lot of time in fragrance and a lot of time with this scent would know. I think what you said about the longevity is correct. I am always aware it is there , it is a gentle elegant force. Perfect scent for me to wear at the office . I am a dentist that likes to wear subtle professional scents and this one checks all the boxes. Funny but it reminds me of rice milk that has some spice almost like smelling horchata.
@@MrLsaylor the more time I spend with Rasputin the more I enjoy it. Black Rose is very good by them as is X Oud. Also I've recently been wearing one Darins Musk which is also really very good.
Ooh you must let us know which ones you get when they arrive. I'm really pumped about these guys at the moment. Such is the quality and skill that Rasputin displays
@@thekingofhiddengemstoilett2677 I have filmed it today. It will be with Richard for editing shortly. I have said in the video that if anyone has any questions that you will be happy to answer them 😀
Sadly I dont own either. I did however wear Polo Green every day for about 15 years so i know it well and used to love it very much. How is it these days ?
Rasputin sample arrived, and that’s the best that can be said. Reminds me of the sticky water aftershaves of the 70’s. Very little smell that disappears minutes after first spray. You have to put your nose directly on sprayed area to get anything. Poor, very poor
It seems very divisive. People seem to either love or loathe it. I think it gets better with every wear . Sorry its not one that has worked out for you.

I got a sample of this from Bloom and I wore it today. When it hit the drydown I was convinced, and I've ordered it now. Thanks for your insight
You are very welcome buddy. Its a cracking fragrance

Cheers buddy. I get what you mean about the spiced vibe. I think there may be a tiny bit of cinnamon hidden away in there along with the cardamon.
Have you grown more fond of it since the review or grown tired of Rasputin??
I would also like to know if you have any others Swedoft’s you like as much or more than Rasputin??

Questioning Scents I’ll definitely let you know what I think when my package arrives 😊
Just ordered, should get these week.
I own Mysterious Shadow. And I love it. Really think it's worth a snif.
Mysterious Shadow is a good fragrance but its waaaay to similar to Sauvage for me
Well made and has decent performance I agree on that
Sounds wonderful.
It really quite special mate.
Would you wear it in the Spring or summer?
Hi I am still looking forward to your review on Persian Assassin
Should be up in the next couple of days buddy 😀
Fantastic I will get my popcorn ready

Until someone asks you what’s you’re wearing 2 hours later. 5 hours later you still get wafts from it.
That’s billy bonkers
