Brand: Jo Milano Paris
Unisex · EDP · £88.72
Inspired by Parfums de Marly Pegasus.
Raees Blanche is a unisex Eau de Parfum from Jo Milano Paris built around heliotrope, cumin and bergamot over bitter almond, lavender and jasmine before vanilla, sandalwood and amber form the base. It belongs to the 786 Collection and is mapped in the Atlas to Parfums de Marly Pegasus. Product Overview Although Jo Milano's URL labels it for men, the official product page describes Raees Blanche as unisex and frames it around French sophistication and luxury. Within the 786 Collection, Blanche is the almond-vanilla member of the Raees family, contrasting with the honeyed Gold, oud-heavy Noir and apple-spiced Vert releases. Scent Profile Heliotrope creates a powdery almond-like opening while cumin adds warmth and bergamot brings lift. Bitter almond becomes the defining heart note, supported by aromatic lavender and jasmine. Vanilla and sandalwood soften the base while amber adds warmth and persistence. Technical Structure and Development The fragrance moves from powdery floral spice into a clearer almond-lavender centre before becoming creamier through vanilla and sandalwood. The heliotrope and bitter almond create continuity across the opening and heart, giving the fragrance its distinctive smooth, almost metallic-nutty character. Performance Independent reporting is still limited, so the Atlas keeps the performance positioning conservative. The EDP format and dense almond, vanilla, sandalwood and amber base support good longevity, while projection is likely strongest during the aromatic opening and early heart. Wear Scenarios • Evening and smart casual wear • Autumn and winter • Dates and formal social settings • Powdery almond fragrance wardrobes Scent Family Positioning Raees Blanche sits in the powdery floral lane with almond, vanilla, lavender, sandalwood and amber facets. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Parfums de Marly Pegasus is the direct Atlas reference because of the heliotrope, bitter almond, lavender, jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood architecture. Early community discussion around Blanche also explicitly treats it as a Pegasus-style alternative. Flankers and Variations Raees Blanche is part of the four-fragrance Raees group alongside Gold, Noir and Vert, all housed within Jo Milano's 786 Collection but each targeting a different niche or designer DNA. Market and Community Reception Jo Milano currently lists Raees Blanche at $120 for 100ml. Fragrantica has begun collecting community reviews, including buyers specifically comparing it with Pegasus, but the sample size remains small. Its strongest point of difference is the rich almond-powder profile inside a Jo Milano range better known for sweeter amber and fresh clones.

Jo Milano Paris is primarily celebrated in the fragrance community as a high-end clone and "dupe" house. While they craft standalone collections, their most viral releases—specifically from the Game of Spades line—are highly accurate, beast-mode interpretations of ultra-luxury, niche perfumes from houses like Bond No. 9, Louis Vuitton, and Xerjoff, offering the same elite scent profiles at a fraction of the cost.
Most Jo Milano Paris fragrances are formulated as Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Extrait de Parfum concentrations. Because they use high-quality fragrance oils, users consistently report exceptional performance, typically achieving 8 to 12+ hours of longevity on the skin. They are particularly famous for their intense sillage and projection, often outperforming the original expensive fragrances they are inspired by.
The most sought-after bottles in the collection include Game of Spades King (a sweet, fruity, and musky blend inspired by Xerjoff Erba Pura), Game of Spades Win (a sugary, airy floral inspired by Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village), and Game of Spades Rouge (a deep, warm amber-woody scent mimicking Baccarat Rouge 540 / Bond No. 9 Ruby).

Jo Milano Paris Raees Blanche is EDP, formulated for strong performance as a budget friendly alternative to the original.
EDP stands for Eau de Parfum. It typically contains 15 to 20 percent fragrance concentration, giving stronger performance and longer longevity than EDT. Most Middle Eastern clone brands release their fragrances as EDP, which is a significant reason they tend to outperform designer equivalents in longevity and projection at a lower price point.
Extrait de parfum, also called pure parfum, contains the highest fragrance concentration, typically 20 to 40 percent. It lasts the longest, projects most richly, and develops the most complex dry-down. Bujairami releases all its fragrances as extraits, which is a significant part of why the brand has developed such a strong reputation for performance.
Maceration is the process of fragrance molecules fully integrating and settling after production. A newly bottled fragrance can smell sharp, synthetic, or unbalanced because the individual ingredients have not yet harmonised. Leaving a bottle to settle for two to four weeks is standard practice in the fragrance community. Remove the cap and let the bottle breathe overnight to accelerate the process. Most heavy Middle Eastern releases benefit significantly from maceration.
A blind buy is purchasing a fragrance without having smelled it first, based on notes, reviews, community consensus, and comparisons to fragrances you already know. The Atlas compare tool, scent accuracy scores, and community reviews are specifically designed to reduce the risk of a disappointing blind buy by giving you data before you spend money.
