*Update* It would make sense that just from the name it may not be geared towards men (I just recently found out the meaning of Aroosah…)
Moving on… Please post the best men’s itr that you have come across or have!
Assalaamu ‘alaikum.
I’ve been given an itr here or there from masjid brothers. Some smell weird/okay and others… well… ya… So someone gave me this brand a while back along with the traditional shalwar-kameez, and I just recently realized to beseech Sheikh Google.
Aroosah 6 ml Perfume by Crown Perfumes
One thing, though, I’m hoping this is MEN’s perfume? If anyone would kindly like to confirm this I would really appreciate it!
that stuff makes my nose turn red and my eye turn pink. evilllll.
Assalaamu Alaikum
This is my speculation – since I can’t smell it…
It seems it’s women’s rather than men’s because it’s called “Aroosah” i.e. “Bride”, and the package has flowers. If you look on the store website (where the picture is from), the men’s bottles don’t have flowers on them.
When I was in an itr store once, the musk varieties that were for women were called “Aroosah” and other feminine titles.
I guess this would be why it smells good.
Walaikumsalaam, hmm… I’m still trying to convince myself it is for men as well, it smells too good!
Here is one from Dar-us-Salam for men with a flower on it:

Or it could be for both genders… the possibility exists!
Assalaamu Alaikum
The Dar-us-Salam one is from a different line. The al-Rehab line (which the Aroosah belongs to) has masculine names/boxes for men and flowrey feminine names for women.
At any rate…you are right…the possibility exists…
What I forgot to say in my last comment is that my husband kept asking the salesperson if the musk he’s giving us as a sample is for men and women…sometimes he’d say women…sometimes he’d say it’s all the same.
Hope that brings some ease. If it’s not so obviously feminine and if it’s indeed one of these musky varieties which smell close to each other…then…
Correction: “if the musk he’s giving us as a sample is for men OR women”
lol.. If it smells good put it on, khair inshaAllah
Itr is itr, its but a smell of flowers. I know men’s perfumes that are made of jasmine and other flower oils, its okay.
Oh and if it makes you feel any better, the box is blue
Salaam,
East or West aroosah is da best! lol don’t let the gender thingy comes on ur mind while using this halal itr. just use it as if there is no 2morow!
p.s. why do u require to sumbit email address while posting comments on ur blog lol dats look off da bar!
oh btw this is one of best itr i’ve come across too! thnx for sharing mate! and ya im using it…who cares!
I believe this itr can be used by both genders.
how come Blah’s picture thingy is nicer than mine?
Because I am better.
nahi you are loser. i wanna change my pictureee
Sister, please provide proof of my loser-ness. Otherwise, I suggest you chup up.
don’t get me startedd!
im making a account so i can have a pretty picture. you chup kar!
errr…I believe the opposite of what you just claimed has been proven. *le sigh*
And no one has yet to still suggest any awesome mens’ itr….
Wear what you like, seriously why is a smell only for women or only for men? That’s ridiculous.
I see where you’re coming from Jake but I’m not so sure I would go around wearing my sister’s perfumes (definitely feminine, a class in its own). That would definitely raise concern among the brothers.
