I’d say it opens with lavender, sage, bergamot, and orange. Then comes clove, pine, carnation, and some woods I can’t quite define. Finally, a touch of moss, musk, and perhaps cedar. It’s like the sweet, shy daughter of a casual meeting between Agua Brava and El Paso. With better longevity and projection, it would be a great fragrance. I love the overall scent, but its poor staying power prevents the full pyramid from developing. I was lucky enough to find a 50ml splash in good condition and deserved to try it. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts, reapplying when needed.
I’d say at the start it smells of lavender, sage, bergamot, and orange. Then comes allspice, pine, carnation, and some woods I can’t quite define. Finally, a touch of moss, musk, and perhaps cedar or another wood. It’s like the sweet, shy daughter of a meeting between Agua Brava and El Paso. With more longevity and a bit more projection, it would be a great fragrance. I really like the overall aroma, but its poor duration prevents the pyramid from developing well. I was lucky enough to find a 50ml splash in good condition and treat myself to a try. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts, reapplying when necessary.
@Bofifa: In my case, applying it generously but without overdoing it, it lasted all afternoon and well into the night. It was never great in terms of longevity, but it was always noticeable and pleasant to those nearby, without being overwhelming. I suppose it depends on everyone’s skin… I find it woody, though a subtle nuance, but for me, and even though I’m not an expert, it’s clearly perceptible. It’s lightyears away from casting a shadow on Agua Brava. Now I’m looking for a rare Puig: ‘Uno’.
I had high hopes for Puig’s Rasgo, thinking it was a milestone for finding the perfect sporty fern scent. It left a good memory in the 90s and is sought after for nostalgia. But we have to face reality: Rasgo is a fern coupé with the classic combo of citrus, pine, and woods, reminiscent of Cacharel Pour Homme or Massimo Dutti (the former, for me, was Agua Brava). The structure is textbook, with the novelty being that the citrus leans toward an orange that lasts the entire life of the perfume, and the tone is very soft with barely perceptible woods. Back then, it was aimed at young people wanting to stand out from harsher scents. The problem is this softness. Rasgo never lifts off the skin and lasts only about two or three hours, which is very frustrating. Also, the orange and pine mix just doesn’t work, something that doesn’t matter much given its futility. I’ll have to keep searching in the genre’s catacombs to find something that could cast a shadow on Agua Brava. Rasgo, certainly, doesn’t succeed. The most notable thing is its beautiful bottle, far exceeding the contents.
It’s for men, not unisex. I don’t know much about notes, I just catch a few. It has a classic citrus opening that quickly transitions to a spicy woody base. It reminds me of Cacharel Pour Homme, nutmeg, cardamom…? It seems like a super-evolved version of Agua Brava, an attempt to update it for the 90s, launched then for a young audience to fit the trends of the time. It was accessible, with good longevity and projection. You can still find it in neighborhood drugstores for a steal. If you like 80s perfumes and popular Spanish fragrances, it’s worth having.
What nostalgia! When I was a kid, I loved it. It smells good, masculine, fresh but with body. At first, it smells like basil, lemon balm, or verbena, super refreshing and citrusy, then it shifts to a masculine floral, like carnation or rose with lavender, ending in wet wood (this is from memory, ingredients might be different). As MiG69 says, it was a cologne style like Cacharel Pour Homme or Halston 1-12. Masculine but far from the dry leathers and mosses of the past. Rasgo would be the cologne Sonny Crockett would wear on Miami Vice: very masculine without fear of looking modern.
