Most excellent and a very pleasant surprise indeed! Asateer Ruaa is a more rubbery version of Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir minus the ghastly old lady dry down of Noir de Noir, plus the bonus here is a genuine oud chord unlike the Tom Ford that’s synthetic to the bone due to strict IFRA restrictions. In fact, Asateer Ruaa is all of the yummy delicious parts of Noir de Noir and as pointed at prior, sans the gag inducing old lady/granny perfume part. Asateer Ruaa smells amazingly narcotic, intoxicating and it is for sure noir and somehow simultaneously possesses the funky and exotic truffle note that’s present throughout in Noir de Noir. It is beyond me how Nabeel recreated Noir de Noir with that note pyramid but they somehow did, and they successfully succeeded exponentially. I recognized it immediately from the moment the first spray exited the atomizer. If you fancy Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir, proceed with confidence to purchase blind Nabeel’s Asateer Ruaa because you definitely will not be disappointed. I certainly wasn’t and was most surprised indeed! Right down the middle unisex if not leaning more masculine. Potent and very long lasting.
