Al Nourus

This smells just like an Escada from the early/mid 2000s when they still had the heart shaped bottles! I never thought about it before I tried this, but the newer Escada summer editions miss a note that the old ones had and have a shampoo-ish base insteead. Hard to describe what it is exactly, I would call it a warmer, almost-but-not-really spicier background hum that gives the scent more weight while still being light. Al Nourus is like a pastiche of several older Escadas and I'm here for it. It opens with super-juicy, sweet but tart mango. Not my favorite fruit note as it can sometimes turn sour on me, but the peach keeps this from happening. I was so surprised how beautifully the ripe peach note unfolds in the drydown and keeps the fragrance fresh and fruity for hours and hours. Of course it's very sweet, but not like candy, more like a cocktail with a lot of fresh fruit juice. No idea why this doesn't last on some people, I sampled the EDP spray and it's one of the most long-lasting purely fruity scents I have ever tried. Not innovative or unique, but really delicious, especially for the price. I would absolutely recommend this over stuff like Flor del Sol or Miami Blossom.

It's a very good quality fruit perfume. I really love it. I don't like all fruity perfumes, in fact some make me quite sick and give me a headache, but this one is terrific! Strong, and long lasting, and after the initial very sweet whoosh, it develops into a lovely powdery peach/mango, with a beautiful rich tang from the lime. I love it, as I do all the Al-Rehabs that I have tried. They're very good. I don't find it too sweet after a little while at all. Lovely.

My skin really seems to bring out the flowers in this one. Straight from the bottle, I only get fruits, but once applied to my skin, the flowers shine through. After a while, I start smelling the citrus and all together it smells amazing. I really love it, no need to layer in my case

Tropical and sweet, with Escada vibe. I absolutely love it!

I've been on an al-rehab discovery tour lately and let me tell you it's been a fun ride! Tried about 10 different types and it seems it's hard to go terribly wrong with these genious oils. Most of those I've tried thus far have been a joy to wear. Al Nourus is no exception there. It doesn't hurt that I am an avid fruity lover and peach and mango being among my favorite notes, so it kinda goes without saying that I like this. I can't really tell the fruity notes apart though, but I have to say that I find this to very very similar to Escadas Moon sparkle. If I remember correctly that one had notes of berries in it, which this one doesn't but none the less, to my nose they smell almost identical. Another job well done for Al-Rehab. Reccomend!
