Al Fares

Al Fares struck a familiar vibe when first applied on my skin; somewhere between Calvin Klein Eternity and Eternity Aqua for Men if I had had to venture a guess. Although the notes pyramid lists herbal notes, musk, spicy notes and woody notes, I detect all sorts of others notes and accords. Just look at the notes breakout of the aforementioned Eternity's and Polo Sport. While it smells pleasant, I'm sure this one is loaded with aroma compounds. Seriously, exactly what constitutes herbal notes and spicy notes? It could be a hundred or more things. Performance is pretty good for Al Fares in that it lasts a solid 8-hours on my skin and projects moderately. Al Fares is a nice old-school herbal aromatic with some woody tones, a green vibe, and perhaps a touch of aldehydes. It's largely a linear fragrance, but it does get a slight bit more woody in the drydown. A potential drawbacks of this fragrance is that it's a bit old-school (although certainly not dated), it's not original, and fragrances like Eternity are arguably better and already inexpensive on the discount market. To conclude, for something like $5 for a 35ml spray bottle Al Fares is cheap and, if Eternity and Polo Sport are in your scent wheelhouse, you can't go wrong with this one. Given all factors, it's a like from me.

I have had the chance to use CK Eternity perfume recently. It's my brother-in-law's. A couple of weeks before, we went on a trip and during that time, I was using CK Eternity. I really really liked it. It was so fresh, green, aquatic and cool. I was determined to buy one for me, but the only problem was that it was not long lasting. It was lasting probably about 4 to 6 hours. Recently I have stumbled upon the Al Rehab collections. I wanted to try something from this house. Since I had a very good experience with the other middle eastern houses such as Rasasi and Armaf. I found a great seller in eBay and ordered 4 Al rehab 6 ml Roll-Ons. 1. Al Fares. 2. Silver. 3. Superman. 4. Original. I have to say I really like Al Fares a lot our of the other 3. This is shockingly so close to CK Eternity. I mean this is so terribly close that I have decided not to buy Eternity. So clean and long lasting. I'm wearing this perfume as I type and it's been almost 6 hours and I can still get the whiffs very often. I'm no perfume expert, I can't tell the notes in a perfume. But I can tell a good perfume and bad perfume. This is a great one. If you are like me, then please get this one, you will be glad! Happy sniffing!

Smells like shampoo - Head & shoulders to be specific. Love it. This perfume oil will easily remind people of Western-style perfumes that are commonly used by individuals. It has this pleasant non-offensive smell that people around you might be familiar with and like. They said that it clones CK Eternity or one of the Polo perfumes but since I have not smelled those two recently, I can't really tell for sure. However, it is very familiar and non-offensive which is a win. Only downside that I found is on its longevity. Like literally gone after a few hours.

This smells like nostalgia, I don't remember who used this scent but I know this smell(not this exact perfume by this brand). Smells really good. I don't care what it's similar to, it's a great scent. To me it smells very classy. I wear it to my uni, suitable for everywhere. Non-offensive smell that's pretty masculine very pleasant.

This is my brother signature perfume (in oil). It last forever on him, with great sillage. Smells like far more better version of CK eternity, at least on him. It even change his rotten lemon natural body odor into something very nice when the odor mingling with this perfume. It smells so generic on me though LOL.

I havent smelled Eternity but this doesnt feel like a clone of Cool Water. But damn this is the best aromatic fragrance in my collection. I have the roll on. Feels like I can wear it anywhere anytime. My #2 al rehab frag after Choco musk and before Secret man. This feels slightly old school and mature.

This frag is quite something!! It starts with a Davidoff cool water blast then slowly shifts away into something more soapy and crispy. Fresh, clean and all round. suits most weathers but be careful not to spray too much. The longevity and sillage are just stupendous. 24 hours now and counting...

I am currently wearing Al Fares Oil Version and i can Confidently state that, it is a BEAST. I have received countless compliments while wearing it. I twice tried the Spray Version and i personally didn't like it because it was very weak and didn't last at all.

Very nice musk and floral perfume. Good performance. Smells nice and clean. Similar to Cool Water or Wings. It's versatile and very inexpensive. I love it and getting some more.

The new crackhead convenience store next to work sells the Al-Rehabs. Picked the roller up. This stuff is great for $6. Continue to be reformulatedly terrible for $50, Calvin.

If you want to avoid staining your clothes, just put some oil on your palm and spred it with other on both palms then just gently rub it over the clothes. @whereskatie

I agree with @nose1000 very close clone of EL Pleasures for men . I have spray version. don't remember CK Eternity.

90% similar to Eternity for Men by Calvin Klein with better longevity and sillage

I have this on one hand and Eternity on the other. They are identical..

CK Eternity for Men, cheap and long lasting

Revisiting: I honestly don't get the feijoa that I initially perceived but it's certainly a very sharp and aldehydic scent, it's extremely soapy but I don't hate it, and I definitely see the CK Eternity similarities but this won't fit the bill as a 1 to 1 replacement due to its overwhelming soapiness but even with its sour citrus and beastly powdery soapiness I find myself reaching for it. Cozy, fresh, powdery, and perhaps a bit dated but comforting. Very interesting oil, this smells like a feijoa, aka pineapple guava, to me. It's got that green floral powdery muskiness that I associate with the fruits. I'd say this feels kinda tropical but maybe its because of my association with the relatively tropical fruit but all in all I don't hate it but I'm personally not a fan of feijoas so this isn't for me. Update: Ok... maybe I spoke to soon I'm a fan of the dry down it goes from feijoa to an orange blossom and lavender musk, is it unoriginal?Maybe, but it's just such a light clean aldehydic soapy scent that it kinda leaves you feeling refreshed, great for hot weather. For 5 bucks on Amazon I mean it can't get much better (as far as I know).

Al Fares... A strong opening that shares the very specific green herbal note that defines Polo Sport. Unfortunately, with my skin chemistry, that note is more body odour on me than the cumin in Al Rehab's Khaliji ever has been. That note settles after half an hour and, as others have noted, gives way to a much cleaner, much fresher Eternity For Men vibe. Taking my sweat out of the equation this is very late 1990s and not unpleasant. Not really me.

Compared with the rest of the Al-Rehab fragrances, Al Fares is less intense and dense. it is very much a lovely scent, comfortably masculine without being overbearing. the longevity is surprisingly short and 6 hours later there is all but nothing left even at the skin level. Nice fragrance in general, but I don't get Swagger at all, much less CK Eternity. I doubt I'll wear it often since it seems to fade fast on my skin for some reason.

This is a review of the oil: This does resemble Polo sport in the opening. As for Eternity, I'm not familiar with it in it's vintage form But this is what I'd Imagine it to be, a much manlier, in-your-face version of it! I get about 12 hours with this with about 3 hours projection. Sillage is strong! For a few euro this one is a must have and true bargain!

CK Eternity OG with less green, more citrusy and more soapy. Clean after shower scent. Suitable for hot weather in my country. Oil roller lasts for days. CK Eternity is cheap but this one even cheaper (comes with less refine). Acceptable cheapie. :)
