Arabisque

Attar version:Such a GORGEOUS hidden gem!! Don't let the Oud scare you in this one, it isn't harsh or "skank" at all it almost comes off as a very well done honey note. I almost didn't get it because they forgot it in my order but something told me to reorder it, and I'm really glad I did. This is a nice unisex fragrance and I am overjoy have this in my collection. Amazing in the winter & transition months. Good stuff

This is really good stuff in winter! Sexy, spicy, sultry, semi sweet, floral woody... Mmmm so good! Layer it with Amarige and it's divine!!!

To me, this might not be an outright dupe, but it smells quite similar to 1 Million. It took me a bit to identify the fragrance this reminded me of, as I don't own 1 Million, but have smelled it many times. Opens with a "fresh" note, flowing down into a heart of cinnamon, fruit (apple?), rose, touch of lavender... then onto a base of frankincense, coumarin, musk. It doesn't project at all like 1 Million does, but the lasting power on this one is quite good... so, if you like this sort of "fresh-spicy" fragrance, this isn't bad. Note the metallic gold field on the title side of the box. The notes above are WAY off.

To me this smells like straight up white musk--very soapy and bland. Not a bad smell, and it would be good as a hand soap or lotion or something, but I can't imagine this being someone's signature scent.

I stumbled across this in a cluttered hijab fashion store on the outskirts of Toronto. I quickly sniffed the entire Al Rehab roll-on range at lightening speed (as the shop lady was watching) and decided that Arabisque was my favourite. I notice the comparisons to Al Haramain’s Maze attar and know it very well, and although the beginning reminds me of Arabisque, the dry-down is very different. They both start as a musky, woody, citrusy, saffron floral but the dry-down of Arabisque is so sweet (as there’s vanilla here) which isn’t in Maze. Maze (the oil not the spray version) is by far my favourite of the 2 as the vanilla dry-down in Arabisque is too sweet for me.
