Soft 35ml Al Rehab Oriental Arabic Oud Musk Perfume

Product Information

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. Indeed very close to Britney Spears Fantasy, so this review is more of a comparison of these two. The opening is about the same, very bright, sweet and fruity with a tart kiwi note. I think the kiwi is a little more rounded and less sour than in Fantasy. I don't know about pre-reformulated Fantasy, if I ever smelled that it must have been over a decade ago. Fantastic is also a little more floral than Fantasy, but these are only minor differences, so I thought that Fantastic is pretty much just a dupe. 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. 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 :) . I also need to add I am not a huge fan of most florals as they fall flat and smell like a vase of wilted flowers with some mold thrown in on me.This to me smells very classy and will be nicely paired with an elegant dress, dinner and well behaved conversation and my hair in a strict chignon! I prefer this perfume in the roller ball over the spray version. It does stay closer to the body in oil form but the authenticity of the fragrance is more apparent. So... I dont know if I will continue playing around with Susan. I may. My Amarige is getting really low and I am not in a position to buy more at the moment. We'll see.

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. 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. Best of all, I can layer it beautifully with my new favorite oud scent - Jovan Intense Oud - creating a rich and cheerful aroma. The combination is both lively and seductive.When I first smelled this piece, I was quite sorry, because I bought it without previous trying and it was not quite something I expected. This settles down quite nicely after the first >30 minutes smelling of very ripe banana-flavoured tuberose with a good measure of sugar on top, although that might be because I didn't let it settle after being delivered. I know from past experience, that these oils get very 'shook up' by the whole delivery process, and need to 'rest' for a few days before their real character shows. My bad, I can't wait to try a new one.

To the perfume: first feeling is caramel together with some citrus chords. Later it becomes more smoothy, "creamy" (if it can be said about this piece, well) and caramel becomes more and more beautiful. There are of course (expecially in the beginning) some flower tones, which probably makes that "enourmous feeling" on the beginning, when its mixed with caramel (and maybe a little bit chocolate - but in this time, cant help myself, but I feel white chocolate). And on my skin, after a few hours, there can be felt: soft and creamy caramel + a little bit of white chocolate + citruses. 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. 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.You have to know, this is very strong fragnance, gourmand, sweet and oriental. And its easy to be over-perfumed, again, when we talk about this bottle in the picture - only a half of a whole dose is enough. That doser gives quite a lot of a fragnance, so think about it. NB. 3 hours in (sans the oudh now), and it is literally Fantastic. I love it, and it is not, as I said before, light; it is sumptuous, with different layers showing themselves and intermingling, constantly. I feel like I'm living in a cloud of womanliness.
