Soft 35ml Al Rehab Oriental Arabic Oud Musk Perfume

Product Information

Later I have it on my skin, the more I like this fragnance (probably because flower tones are getting weaker and weaker). there's a dozen of Al Rehab perfumes which I love and this is among them. BTW I have it in 35 mil spray bottle. This a seriously strong perfume. I've had it for over a week now, but after trying it a few times without being blown off my feet and disliking it intensely, I've put some on layered over Lattafa's Raghba Classic, just to 'ground' it a bit. It's been on 30 minutes now, and it's not wall-to-wall flowers , just gently floral, and I can smell the Raghba coming through, sweet and heavy.

I've already put this comment under the oil. But since I suspect that most of them are looking for the scent here, I put my comment here as well. I'm not interested in trophies or anything. I just want my experience to reach as many people as possible :) . NB. I have re-applied this on it's own this afternoon, and I now know what it's about. I still get blown away by the opening, but after 10 minutes I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! (Sorry for the shout).It begins with fresh aqua, mint and bergamot, with lily and vetiver in the middle note to warm-sweet with roses, amber and musk nuances insurance. Sabaya has a distinctly feminine quality and yet isn’t the kind of scent that would prevent anyone from taking you seriously (and I wish that weren’t a thing, but oh well). Warning: this, along with the rest of the Al- Rehab oils is very strong smelling. Apply in the tiniest dabs to test your tolerance.

But when I woke up after sampling this for the first time the evening before, I smelled a creamy, vanilla-infused musk instead of the cupcake-vanilla in Fantasy. More perfumey than the baked goods drydown of the original. I tried it two more times and always got the same result, in the final drydown Fantastic becomes its own fragrance.The nicest thing about many Arabian scents? Their layerability! Having the 'oud' note in common seems to help this considerably. Organdy is no exception. In place of the greens in Organza, this little darling contains oud! It's TRULY a middle eastern take on a classic. Susan is Friday nights in 1993 and is pure nostalgia in a tiny bottle. A powerhouse, but still, slightly gentler than its juggernaut of a sister; this won't harangue those Saturday morning hangovers when you're up for work at six even though you didn't get in til gone two. Something I definitely would have welcomed thirty (THIRTY?!?!) years ago. It’s fresh enough to smell young, but not cloying. It’s not sweet and not musky at all. It’s a generally non offensive scent that won’t bother anyone. However, it is unique! This is quite an accomplishment in my view. Most neuterally pleasing scents are rather generic, but not this one. It’s hard for me to define exactly what sets it apart, but if I had to name anything I would say perhaps the ozone.

Now, it smells very feminine and light, a nice perfume to wear during the day, with a pretty dress or blouse, and would be excellent for Spring and Summer days.I don't think that you really need both this and Fantasy. As I have only tried the EDP spray, I can't judge the oil, and obviously a matching oil as an addition to a perfume is a different story. And yes, as someone previously mentioned, it is a lot like Poeme, if my memory serves me well. I can see me wearing this a lot. It's a Friday evening in 1993 and I'm in the toilets at work - a little second hand clothes store in Notting Hill - getting ready to head out into the night. I'm wearing MAC Spice lipliner topped with lashings of Carmex lipbalm from the imported beauty shop on Portobello Road and a pair of platform embroidered suede sandals, which earlier in the day Vivienne Westwood complimented me on when she was in buying an 80s rara skirt. Before I leave to hop on a bus to the West End, I douse myself in a cloud of effervescent tuberose/bug killer/juicy fruits that is Amarige. When I come into work in the morning, the cloud will still be hanging in the air, as indelible as the hangover I'll bring with me.
