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. :)

similar to silver al rehab. i give score 3 star.

Too musky version of Eternity by CK

#1473 in my "Tour de Fragrance" The coincidence struck me as I was thinking about how to introduce this scent. But truth is, this Al Rehab scent instantly reminded me of Initio "Rehab." Rehab was supposed to be review #422 in my "Tour de Fragrance." For some reason I got distracted and never reviewed it. It's the only Initio fragrance I tried that I decided I wouldn't care to own. Not that it was repellant, but that it was a scent that I was absolutely bored with and have unpleasant memories of. My database notes on Initio "Rehab": "Smells like CK "Eternity." I haven't worn that shit in 30 years. And no reason to wear it again." I was packing for a move to Orange County in 1993, boxing up my toiletries, looked at that 3/4 empty bottle of CK "Eternity", among others, and said, "Fuck it. I'm tired of that shit." Actually I had just completed getting divorced and associated that scent with my ex, who didn't want to stay married, but wanted to booty call me every other weekend. Wasn't an emotionally healthy situation, hence my decision to take a job a thousand miles away. Tossed the "Eternity" in the bag for the dumpster and headed down the highway. When I got to Irvine I hit the Mall in Costa Mesa, went to the first fragrance counter I saw, picked out the hottest sales assistant (I can still see her "Megan Trainor" looking face) and asked her, "What do you like to smell on a man?" She said, "I really like this one." And thus I was wearing CK "One" for the next three years. Thirty years later I have a kinder view of CK Eternity. The only thing I really didn't like about the scent was the association with a life and a woman I left behind, and today I won't buy anything below EDP concentration. I see they finally have created an EDP of Eternity, and I was considering trying it out, but this "Al Fares" (The Horseman) is really an EDP of Eternity, so my curiosity is sated. Car pool, elevator, small office space safe, but anyone who was alive for the television premiers of "Seinfeld", "Friends", "The X-Files", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer";"Beverly Hills, 90210", "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air "", "ER", "The Simpsons", "Xeena: Warrior Princess" and "Law & Order" has smelled this on a 1001 men. But for the twenty somethings out there, this doesn't carry that baggage, and it's a high potency scent that's less than $10. So nothing to lose in trying it out.

Musk, floral, and powder is basically what this is. I never use this on its own, I roll some of it on to my neck and leave it be. I then apply a pure vanilla extract to my clothes. Finally, musk bakhoor. This thing on its own is nice, but it won't grab peoples attention. If you want to smell clean, go for it, just know that it's nothing outstanding. A lot of people seem to agree on the fact that this thing has good sillage and longevity, which I disagree with. I don't get what all the hype is about, sure, it's noticeable to the person wearing it, but from my own experience, it doesn't project all that much. It sits on you but doesn't linger in the air at all, or perhaps it has something to do with my skin chemistry. It simply has this generic fresh green vibe to it and all the comments are glazing it. Don't get me wrong, Al Rehab is a very good brand. Premium Saudi love is what this brand is to me, but specifically this one is quite overhyped in my opinion. It feels like this thing was made to be layered, and that's exactly how I'm using it.

Idk if I need to let my oil macerate for a couple days as only just got it but to me it smells pretty similar to champion Black but a bit more subtle and rounder i think this would be quite a safe blind buy seems pretty inoffensive the oil doesn't project like crazy on me only about a foot off skin, if you like champion Black and want something eith similar DNA that's less offensive and loud then this is a good buy.

Not a fan. I got it to boost my Calvin Klein eternity’s performance and silage, which is unfortunately weak. It smells similar but not nearly as good. It has a dirty smell and is thick and cloying. Needless to say this won’t get used much. It’s not terrible and I will occasionally wear it.

There are similarities of this to Polo Sport. It's not a Polo Sport clone though. Smells like smoky, soapy herbs with traces of oud in the background at skin-close distance. But it'll smell like soapy fresh, smoky orange leaves at an elbow's distance. The soapy smell is quite soft and gives an impression that it's aquatic but it actually isn't. Can't say that longevity and projection's all that admirable. Dissapears completely after an 8-hour sleep. There are other perfume oils by Al Rehab that lasts much much longer, and also much much louder. Dakar is similar to this but it's extremely close to smelling like Drakkar Noir, but with slightly more menthol and oakmoss giving you richer herbs & a cooler smell, and is also pretty loud + long lasting. I'd buy something else over this, like silver....it's a tad sharp but dear god it lasts for DAYS. My gym bag and everything I put in it smelt like silver for 2 weeks just because I gave the damn thing 2 swipes of silver.

Nice aromatic airy scent. Versatile and classic. Very cheap. Honesty there is something about it i dislike, especially in the opening, there is that smell that reminds me of sweat somehow.

Even bought new there's something stinky on the juice itself maybe old stock that went bad? The stink comes from the sprayer itself meaning its the juice. I'm not sure if the stink disappears after I've sprayed it on myself or my clothes....Also the dry down smells irritatingly salty? Maybe the musk? Bought this because many reviews said it was like ETERNITY for Men but I'm really disappointed! It has very little similarity to that.

spray version has zero performance. dont buy spray of AL FARES. OIL FORM has best performance. fragrance is good. green, cant get enough of it. but just buy OIL/ATTAR of it. spray perfume has no performance. its all just water.

As I live in Dubai, UAE, I have had more of a chance than most to see the Al Rehab fragrances in their local cultural setting. I am altogether aware that the vast majority of people who buy Al Rehab perfumes in the West will have had them supplied from online retailers, but I would like to share with you something about purchasing these fragrances here before I give my short review. For a start, buying an Al Rehab fragrance in Dubai will mean in all likelihood that you will need to visit the Perfume Souk area in the city near to the famous Gold Souk of Dubai. This is because Al Rehab is not stocked in any of the major or minor retail outlets and - unlike Rasasi, Arabian Oud, Swiss Arabian or the other local brands - does not have an outlet based in a mall. This also means that you will have to take a route through one of the older parts of the city, by the side of the Creek, along past the shops selling all sorts of knick-knacks, past the Asian cyclists carrying stacks of cardboard on the backs of bikes, past the East Africans trading with Afghans, past the shwarma and juice stalls, until you come to the Perfume Souk area. Here you find the Al Rehab shop at the end of a busy, crowded, furiously neon-lit street.... Now when you enter this shop, you will truly wonder how it is that some of these fragrances are so well recognised as being very credible dupes of some of the fragrances from the most admired houses internationally. Creed? Montale?.....Surely not. The Al Rehab shop is staffed by some very friendly elderly local Arab gentlemen. Very nice, and a Salaam Aleikum and a few words of Arabic goes a long way. But yet, the shop. My, my, my....More like a hardware store than a fragrance shop, it is not unusual for your total to be worked out on the back of an envelope and change to be plucked out of wooden drawer. Last time I went there I wondered if I could pick up a hammer and a box of masonry nails while I was at it!...Suffice to say that this is nothing like the image of sparkling, shiny Dubai portrayed around the world. Yet, there is charm in this as well - and most definitely value for money if this is a consideration at all. (As an aside, buying these 6 ml CPO vials costs me 4 UAE dirhams each, about $1.10, ie they are practically giving the stuff away.) So what are their fragrances actually like..... Al Fares is a fragrance which is has a very standard masculine vibe and it is altogether obvious that this is marketed towards men. So it does not have the fascinating and contradictory unisex design of some of Al-Rehab's best fragrances (Saat Safa, Khaliji, Choco Musk, for example). Yet, for all that it is a reasonably good fragrance with fresh, woody spiciness which is quite pleasant to the nose. Though not an aromatic fougere, I get the references to CK Eternity that others make. All said, the best aspect that Al Fares has to offer is not its originality, but rather its performance. If you are tired of how the reformulation of standard male workplace fragrances from the past has you reaching for an atomizer by the middle of the day, this might be one to consider. It outperforms probably the vast majority of reformulated giants from the era it brings to mind: late 1980s and early 1990s.

I bought the 6ml rollerball, £3.50 Inc postage from ebay. I'm a woman, but I have learned not to take any notice of the gender designations of Al Rehab fragrances as the fragrances are so delightfully random. I love these powerful and very cheap fragrances. They don't smell cheap at all. They are all very different. Some of them are very 'different'. This is one of those. I thought the main accords on this sounded quite feminine- musk, white floral, powdery, fruits. How wrong I was. This is definitely a masculine fragrance. The musk part is correct, I'm not getting any fruits. I suppose I can smell a tiny bit of white floral and powder, but basically it starts off with a strong soapy bubble bath aroma- not a girly fruity/ flowery bubble bath, just a very strong fresh clean soapy smell, very pleasant. Then the muskiness emerges, at first I thought it smelled a bit leathery, then I realised it smells just like an old man. Then I discovered that 'old person smell' is actually a thing, the primary compound is 2-nonenal. And I'm guessing Al Rehab have bottled this compound. It's quite an unpleasant, unclean smell. Ironic that it starts with soapiness and you are just left with this old man smell. Which might not be to everyone's tastes. It certainly isn't my bag.

Fragrance -Al Fares Al-Rehab Bottle(roll-on) from - 2015 Al Fares reminds me of a place where the green forest meets the blue sea.It is a fresh,green,woody,spicy,musky and enchanted with a sea magic scent."Quality/Cost Ratio"is extremely high. Longevity - 7/10(7+hours) Silage/Projection - 7/10(moderate to heavy projection and silage for the first 2-3 hours) Weather - for more or less any time of year.Best in spring and summer.I personally wouldn't wear this on a really cold winter days. Age - 18+ Compliments - 8/10 Scent - 7/10 Main notes according to me - herbal notes,musk,spices,woody notes. The drydown is nice and i get some woodiness,soapiness and musk. Emotions - fresh,timeless,clean,green grass,pleasant. Occasion -for more or less any ocasion and any time of year You can't go wrong with this one.

This perfume is similar to Polo Sport & Colour Me Blue by Milton Lloyd. Very fresh, soapy,mildly smoky, green fragarnce.Very Pleasant Fragrance. This has a very mild tinge of wintergreen oil/menthol oil...which is barely noticeable, but primary similarities are to the perfumes mentioned above. In India, Aqdas Perfumes from Chennai make a Roll-On version of Polo Sport Perfume Oil called Cowboy Polo/Polar Craze & this smells very similar to that perfume oil. Good Fragrance by Al Rehab.I have not smelled CK Eternity for Men so cannot compare this to CKE, but this one smells pleasant & hence is a good buy.

If the color blue had a scent this would be it. It's more aquatic and sporty than anything else, not really a "green" scent by any means. Very similar to Polo Sport and Animale Animale. I don't get the Eternity by Calvin Klein comparison. I have the roll-on oil version, not the spray, so it might be why it smells different than Eternity to me, Eternity is more of a citrus while Al Fares is more aquatic. I really like it, and like all Al Rehab fragrances, the value is unbeatable.

Al Rehab does Eternity for Men with a few drops of Coty's Aspen mixed in. It's brutally powerful in roll-on form, and I can't help but feel that a fragrance as inexpensive and synthetic as Eternity is better off being experienced with the original fragrance. Just spend the $20 and get the CK. Or, if you must spend less for the same, buy Cuba Paris Grey, which is a softer, better-balanced treatment of the theme. Al Fares is unfortunately superfluous at this point.

I've got the roll-on perfume oil. This is a pleasant, fresh, clean and soapy fragrance. Gives a fresh laundry/freshly showered feel. Quite generic, soapy and slightly green. Nothing exciting but I like it and it is a "safe" sort of a scent. The oil lasts for ages - with a few short strokes it projects well for 6+ hours (and less well up to about 10 hours) and is good on my skin for up to 14 or 15 hours.

Dipen Lathia is spot on, use this sparingly. I apply two sprays to my chest and this lasts all day, any more than this and it would be just too overpowering. A fresh old school fragrance,just remember "less is more". My opinion is leaning towards the positive for these Al-Rehab scents, I got a 30ml bottle of Al Fares delivered to my door for £4, fantastic value for money IMHO. Nice!

I can't comment about how this compares to Polo Sport or CK Entenity since I've never smelt either. The fragrance (roll-on oil) smells very inoffensive. I mainly get woody, slightly sweet, slightly musky and aromatic. Works well in warm to moderate weather. Projection is very soft on me (1-2 hours) and longevity is abit of a let down (+-4ish hours). Really wish it lasted longer.

My father is a true lover of Calvin Klein Eternity for men, and she wears it almost every morning before work. So I got used to the smell of CK Eternity. then I can confirm that Al fares smell is indeed quite similar to Eternity, only it is more spicy and smoky. I also have Davidoff Cool water, and I think Al fares at all do not like cool water.

Just received this today this is the third installment to my Al Rehab collection. Just to get the gist of what other's would smell I sprayed once in the air and I have to say this is not bad at all. It smells like Irish Spring has made a cologne. Very fresh, aquatic and cool if this makes any sense. Can't wait to wear it !

Fresh, Aquatic, Very green. Perfect for spring and summer. I wear a a host of different scents so its safe to say this isn't my signature but if I had to choose a scent, Al Fares would be the number 1 contender Sillage 10/10 Longevity 8/10 Uniqueness 8/10 Great scent for those breezy days and nights as well

Like what Dakar did to Drakkar, I feel Al Fares is as close as you're going to get to vintage Eternity for Men without buying a vintage bottle and it performs like a beast. For the $3-$4 it costs for the 6ml rollerball I think this is well worth checking out.

Yeps: Aquatic and green: me likey! But I wouldn't expect much in terms of longevity... Edit: DAMN it even lasts! 10 hours solid with heavy application.. this is the Winner! Great scent, great longevity, and the funniest thing is the price.. go figure! ;-)

I've had it for a few years stored in a dark box, but it seems like it faded. I can no longer feel any green in there - the musk remains though, but my experience differs so much from others' that it must be a quality difference for some reason.

This reminds me of a men's western fragrance. I just cannot remember which one... think along the lines of Brut but not as harsh! It is very sharp fresh green type fragrance. Not for those who love their scents feminine and sweet.

To me this is smells exactly like guava leaf, herbal with a bitter edge and also oceanic somehow. The sillage is moderate and unfortunately with a quite poor longevity. But i like to smell this on men in a hot and humid days.

I was curious what Calvin Klein Eternity smells like, so I bought the oil to gauge that fragrance. To my surprise this smells like Estee Lauder Pleasure For Men like I remember back in the 90s.

ترکیب کول واتر و اترنیتی با کیفیت متوسط ----------- Scent & Qualiy: 5/10 Longevity: 6/10 Sillage: 6/10 Creativity & Uniqueness: 3/10 Affordability: 10/10 ----------- Overall: 6-1 = 5/10

very nice good form men,but dont over use it,thats the trick.cant say it smells like eternity but whatever it smells like it smells heavenly.nice one from al rehab
