About Rasasi — A Family Legacy Built on the Art of Fragrance
Rasasi Perfumes Industry LLC was founded in 1979 by Mr. Abdul Razzak Kalsekar, a visionary businessman from the Indian subcontinent who saw in Dubai not merely a trading city, but a canvas for an extraordinary idea. While others were focused on importing European fragrances, Mr. Kalsekar set out to honour the deep olfactory traditions of the Gulf — blending traditional Arabic ingredients into fragrances of lasting beauty and quality.
What began as a single perfume shop in the traditional souks of Deira grew steadily into one of the UAE's most distinguished fragrance companies. The business has always been a deeply personal family endeavour — Mr. Kalsekar's six sons each dedicated themselves to specialised roles within the company, collectively driving Rasasi from a local shop into a global enterprise. Today, the third generation of the Kalsekar family is carrying this legacy forward under the banner of Rasasi Perfumes 1979.
Key milestones in Rasasi's journey:
- 1979 — Founded by Abdul Razzak Kalsekar in Murshid Bazar, Deira, Dubai
- 1986 — First manufacturing facility established in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), Dubai — a 5,000 sq. metre plant dedicated to Oud oil distillation and perfume production
- 1989 — Second factory set up in Jafza to meet rapidly growing demand
- 1999 — Aerosol and production capabilities further expanded
- Pioneer of the exclusive mono-brand fragrance boutique concept in the Gulf — a retail innovation that has since been widely adopted across the regional perfume industry
- Today — 165+ elegantly designed stores across GCC (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar), exporting to 60+ countries worldwide
- State-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Jafza, Dubai — ISO-compliant production with cutting-edge technology
- Collaborations with world-renowned perfumers including Amandine Galliano, Julien Rasquinet, Raphael Haury, and Dominique Ropion
Rasasi's philosophy has remained unchanged since 1979: to create the finest fragrances that epitomise quality, sophistication, and a fine mastery over the art of scent. Today, Rasasi ranks among the UAE's foremost fragrance companies — a brand born of the Emirates, shaped by family, and defined by the enduring art of perfumery.

1. Hawas Collection — Rasasi's Most Iconic Modern Fragrance Line
The Hawas collection is Rasasi's most globally celebrated and widely discussed fragrance line — a series that has built a devoted international following since the original Hawas for Him launched in 2015. The name Hawas evokes desire, passion, and energy — and every release in this line delivers exactly that.

5. Oud & Dhanal Oudh Collection — The Heart of Arabian Perfumery

What Makes Rasasi Perfumes Stand Out?
In a global fragrance market filled with hundreds of brands, Rasasi has carved a uniquely respected position. Here is why:
- UAE Heritage: Founded, manufactured, and distributed from Dubai — Rasasi is a genuine Emirati success story and a source of pride for Gulf consumers
- Authentic Arabian Ingredients: Rasasi's mastery of traditional ingredients — Oud, Amber, Musk, Frankincense, Saffron — gives its fragrances an authenticity that Western brands cannot replicate
- International Perfumer Collaborations: Working with globally acclaimed perfumers such as Amandine Galliano and Dominique Ropion ensures that Rasasi compositions meet and exceed international standards of artistry
- Exceptional Value: Rasasi consistently delivers fragrance quality comparable to niche European houses at a fraction of the price — making luxury accessible
- Pioneer of Mono-Brand Boutiques: Rasasi invented the dedicated single-brand fragrance boutique in the Gulf — a concept now universally adopted in the region
- Vertically Integrated Production: From ingredient sourcing and Oud oil distillation to filling, bottling, and retail — Rasasi controls the entire process from its Jafza facility
- Global Community Recognition: The Hawas line, La Yuqawam, and Daarej collections have accumulated thousands of reviews from fragrance communities worldwide — a rare achievement for a Gulf brand

Tips for Wearing Rasasi Perfumes in Oman's Climate
Oman's warm, humid climate interacts uniquely with fragrances. Here is how to get the best from your Rasasi perfume:
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind ears, and inner elbows — where body heat activates the fragrance and amplifies its projection
- In Oman's heat, Oriental and Oud-based fragrances (La Yuqawam, Dhanal Oudh, Shaghaf) will project even more intensely — use 2–3 sprays maximum for daytime wear
- Fresh, aquatic fragrances like Hawas and Hawas Ice are ideal for daytime use in warm weather — they remain pleasant without becoming overwhelming
- For indoor air-conditioned environments, bolder Oriental compositions perform beautifully — the cooler air lets heavy bases like leather and amber bloom gradually
- Moisturising your skin before applying perfume significantly extends longevity — apply unscented lotion first, then spray your Rasasi
- Store your Rasasi bottles away from direct sunlight and heat — a cool, dark location preserves the fragrance's composition for longer
- For Bakhoor and incense products, burn in a well-ventilated room for a gentle ambient scent throughout the home
