Rasasi Blue Lady Deodorant Body Spray for Women 200ml, UAE

Product Overview

Rasasi Blue Lady Deodorant Body Spray, 200ml, from the United Arab Emirates. Rasasi is one of the established Emirati fragrance houses, and Blue Lady is among its best known feminine lines — this is the deodorant spray version of it rather than the concentrated perfume.

Rasasi’s own description: for the demure ladies of all ages, to fill your day with radiance.

How to Use It

1. Shake the can first, so the ingredients are properly mixed. Most people skip this and it genuinely matters with a suspension.
2. Hold the can a few inches from the underarm.
3. Coat each underarm with a layer of spray — about two seconds each side.
4. Apply to clean, completely dry skin.
5. Let it dry before dressing.
6. Not on freshly shaved skin. Leave a day.

Deodorant, Body Spray and Perfume Are Not the Same Job

• A deodorant targets odour. Odour is not made by sweat — fresh sweat is nearly odourless — but by skin bacteria breaking it down, so a deodorant slows the bacteria and masks what is left. It does not stop you sweating.
• An antiperspirant reduces the sweat itself, using aluminium salts that temporarily block the ducts. If the problem is a wet shirt rather than a smell, this is the one you need.
• A body spray or body perfume is a light fragrance for the whole body and for clothes. It smells good; it is not doing anything about bacteria.
• A perfume is concentrated fragrance for pulse points, not for underarms.

Two things matter more than which brand you buy: apply to clean, completely dry skin, and if it is an antiperspirant, apply it at night — it works far better applied when you are sweating least, and it survives the morning shower.

Deodorant Spray or the Perfume?

Worth knowing before you buy, because the same name covers both:

• A deodorant body spray is a light fragrance at a low concentration, in a large can, made to be used generously over the underarms and body. It lasts a couple of hours as a scent and works as a deodorant for longer.
• The eau de parfum version is a different product — far more concentrated, in a much smaller bottle, applied in two or three sprays to pulse points, and lasting most of a day.
• They smell related but not identical, because the deodorant carries fewer of the expensive base materials.
• Many people use both: the spray in the morning across the body, the perfume on pulse points for the evening.

Body Mist, EDT, EDP, Attar – What the Words Mean

This is the single most useful thing to know before buying a fragrance, and almost no listing explains it. The difference is how much perfume oil is in the bottle, and it decides both how long it lasts and what it should cost.

• Body mist / body splash / body spray — roughly 1-3% oil. Light, refreshing, and gone in one to two hours. Made to be reapplied and to be used generously over the whole body. This is why they come in 100ml and 135ml bottles.
• Eau de Toilette (EDT) — roughly 5-15%. Lasts three to five hours. The everyday office strength.
• Eau de Parfum (EDP) — roughly 15-20%. Lasts five to eight hours and projects further. The evening and occasion strength.
• Parfum / Extrait — 20-30%. Eight hours and more, worn in very small amounts.
• Attar / perfume oil — undiluted or nearly undiluted oil, with no alcohol. It sits close to the skin rather than filling a room, and it can outlast an EDP because there is no alcohol to evaporate off. A 6ml bottle lasts months.

None of these is better than the others. A body mist after a shower on a hot Dhaka afternoon is the right product; so is an EDP at a wedding. Buying the wrong one for the occasion is what leads people to think a fragrance “does not last”.

On Skin – a Few Sensible Precautions

• Patch test before the first full wear if your skin is reactive: a little on the inner forearm, left for 24 hours. Fragrance is the most common cause of contact allergy in cosmetics, which is worth knowing rather than being frightened of.
• Never spray onto freshly shaved skin, broken skin or sunburn. Alcohol on a shaved underarm or a shaved face stings for a reason.
• Some citrus oils are photosensitising. Bergamot in particular can react with sunlight and leave a lasting dark patch on skin. If you are applying a citrus-heavy fragrance before going out into the sun, put it on clothing rather than on exposed skin.
• Keep it away from the eyes and out of reach of children.
• Alcohol-based fragrance is flammable. Do not spray near a flame or a lit cigarette, and never store a bottle in a car in summer.
• Stop using it if the skin reddens, itches or burns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the scent last?

As a fragrance, one to two hours, which is normal for a deodorant body spray. As a deodorant it keeps working considerably longer than that.

Can it be sprayed on clothes?

Yes, and it will last longer there than on skin. Test a hidden seam first on anything pale or delicate.

Why does it not last as long on me as on someone else?

Skin type, mostly. Dry skin releases fragrance quickly; oily and well-moisturised skin holds it far longer. Heat speeds everything up, which is why the same bottle behaves differently in December and in May. Moisturising before applying is the fix, and it works.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Fragrance is one of the better gifts and one of the harder ones, because it smells different on every person. If you are not sure of their taste, a lighter body mist or a fresh citrus is a safer choice than a heavy oriental — and keep the receipt.

Does perfume expire?

It does not spoil like food, but it degrades. Stored cool and dark, an unopened bottle keeps for years; an opened one is at its best for around two to three years. Light fresh citrus fragrances fade fastest; heavy oriental and woody ones last longest.
