Hi, so Samay Raina gave out free tickets, booked an entire theater for the movie Alpha and distributed the tickets for free.
But it still looks like the theater had a lot of empty seats. Lol
This is my personal opinion.
Any influencer, especially Indian fragrance influencers, promoting this fragrance without mentioning its flaws instantly loses credibility for me. It’s one of the easiest ways to identify paid hype. 💸
I ordered an 8 ml decant, not a full bottle.
I haven’t smelled the OG, so I can’t comment on how close this is.
This is how Rayhaan Aquatica smells to me.
🍋 First 15 minutes
Imagine applying a cheap coconut oil and squeezing a lemon over it.
That’s exactly what I get,
The lemon is very sharp and overpowering.
🥥 Dry down
The citrus fades away in 20 mins.
What remains is a strong coconut oil smell.
It literally smells like I have applied coconut oil on my skin.
Personally, I find it very unpleasant.
On clothes, it lasts up to 12 hours, which is actually quite good. 👍
Very low.
People may notice the coconut smell.
But I don’t think they’ll compliment it.
You’re more likely to hear,
“Have you applied coconut oil?” 🥥
That isn’t a compliment, at least in my opinion.
👃 Smell: 3/10
⏳ Performance & Longevity: 5.5/10
❤️ Compliment Factor: 2/10
No.
The longevity is decent.
Everything else is disappointing.
For me, this smells more like coconut oil than a perfume.
Received my bottle yesterday, and of course the price dropped by ₹400 right after I ordered it. 😭
The first thing that stands out is the performance. This thing is absolutely nuclear. One spray is enough, two is plenty, and I genuinely wouldn’t recommend more than three. On my cloths, it’s easily lasting 24+ hours with around 8–9 hours of beast-mode projection. If your goal is to get noticed, this fragrance won’t disappoint. 💥
Coming to the scent, I’m still on the fence. The opening is quite harsh for the first 30–45 minutes. I get a dominant spicy accord that reminds me of cinnamon and cardamom, while the vanilla isn’t as prominent as I expected. The fragrance is also very linear. It doesn’t evolve much through the wear; it simply becomes smoother over time.
Interestingly, I had the same experience with the original Liquid Burn. I didn’t enjoy it when it was first released, but after about 6–8 months of maturation, it became much smoother and far more enjoyable. I’m hoping this Limited Edition follows the same path. 🤞
One thing I realized after wearing it is that I probably didn’t need the 150 ml bottle. With how ridiculously strong it is and considering India’s short winters, this bottle will probably last me for lifetime . I can’t imagine wearing this in the summer. ❄️
Overall, if you’re looking for insane performance and a fragrance that commands attention, this delivers. Whether it gets compliments is another story, but it will definitely get you noticed. I’ll revisit this review after a few months of maturation and multiple wears.
📊 My First Impression Scores
👃 Smell: 6.5/10
Not completely sold on it yet. Hoping it improves with maturation. 🤞
💥 Projection & Longevity: 11/10
Absolutely beast mode. One of the strongest fragrances I’ve ever owned. 🔥
🌟 Compliment Factor: 7/10
You’ll definitely get noticed 👀*, but save it for winter. It’s simply too powerful for Indian summers.* ❄️
I ordered an 8ml decant of Rasasi Hawaa Chrome, and unfortunately, this one was a complete miss for me. 😕
Initial Impression: 🚫
The opening was an immediate disappointment. It has a fruity profile that reminded me about 20% of the mango note from Vulcan feu, but the rest is just a mix of generic fruity notes that smell cheap and synthetic. 🤢 There’s nothing refined or appealing about it.
To my nose, this doesn’t smell like a masculine fragrance at all. It leans heavily feminine, but not in a sophisticated way. It comes across as a very generic, low-quality perfume. Even in the air, it has that inexpensive, artificial character that’s hard to ignore.
If I smelled this on a woman, I’d assume she was wearing a cheap men’s fragrance. If I smelled it on a man, I’d assume he was wearing a feminine perfume. It just feels confused and doesn’t work well in either direction. 🤷
Dry Down: 🌫️
The dry down doesn’t improve much. Instead, it reminds me of an old auntie’s body lotion, powdery, fruty , and quite off-putting. 😬 It never develops into anything enjoyable.
So In short It goes from cheap fruty to a powdry fruit lotion. 🍑➡️🧴
Performance: ⏱️
Longevity: 6–7 hours on skin.
Projection: Around 45mins.
Performance is honestly the only positive aspect of this fragrance. 👍

Overall: 2.5/10
Would I buy a full bottle? Absolutely not. ❌
Would I buy another decant? No. 🙅
This is one of the easiest passes in my collection. Despite decent longevity, the scent itself is so cheap-smelling and unpleasant that I have no reason to wear it again.
9 PM was the first fragrance I ever bought was completely blind buy and it was also my first expensive perfume purchase!
9PM opens with a very nostalgic bubblegum-like scent for me. It instantly reminds me of the big bubble gums I used to chew as a kid. As it develops, that bubblegum sweetness slowly transitions into a smooth, rich vanilla scent. 🍬🍦
Honestly, that’s the entire journey on my skin. Bubblegum turning into vanilla. I don’t pick up many other notes, but what it does, it does extremely well.
The performance is absolutely insane. I still remember the first time this fragrance arrived at my house. I sprayed just two sprays on the top floor, and the scent somehow traveled throughout the entire house. You could smell it even downstairs. That’s the moment I understood what “beast mode” really means.
Its longevity is equally impressive. On my clothes, it easily lasts until the next wash, often 5 to 7 days. One particular memory stands out. I wore it to a wedding and sprayed my coat around 5 to 7 times. After the event, I sealed the coat inside a bag. When I opened that bag nearly a week later, the vanilla scent burst out immediately and filled the surrounding area. That’s how powerful this fragrance is.
Smell: 8/10
The scent is enjoyable and crowd-pleasing, but it isn’t particularly unique. The opening can feel a little synthetic rather than naturally blended, though it becomes much smoother as it dries down. Despite that, it’s a fragrance that gets noticed and appreciated by people around you.
Performance & Projection: 10/10 (This is what defines beast mode.)
Outstanding longevity, massive projection, and an incredibly strong scent trail.
Compliment Factor: 9/10
A lot of its compliment factor comes from its sheer power and projection. People are very likely to notice it, especially in social settings.
Overall:
If I had to describe 9PM in the simplest way possible, it’s a bubblegum scent that gradually transforms into a rich vanilla fragrance with monstrous performance. It may not be the most complex or unique fragrance out there, but when it comes to projection, longevity, and compliments, it delivers far beyond its price point.
Anyone tried this fragrance? the idea looked great was thinking to buy it will use it as kitchen perfume if I didn’t liked it😭🤪
I have updated my side loader after months, and now it's asking this. Can someone please help me
Hey everyone,
I heard this song in a café in the mountains a while back and Shazamed it at the time. It came up as:
“Night” – MeryProd & Tiger & Woods
But now I can’t find the track anywhere ; not on Spotify, YouTube, or other platforms.
Does anyone know where I can listen to it or if it goes by a different name?
Any help would be appreciated!
