GORGEOUS! There are some notes missing in the Al Rehab description..... Similar to both Raghba and 24 Gold Scent Story. It's not perhaps as long lasting or exactly the same, but the scent profile remains strikingly similar. Warm, sweet, balsamic, and with that incense and root beer note one notices especially in Raghba. But the reason 24 Gold also comes to mind is that I do smell a very golden vanilla here, which is less prominent in Raghba. Your nose may smell differently, but mine says this is a great deal for the scent aura! Verdict - A cologne version of a popular and desirable scent profile from the middle east. Very enjoyable for gourmand lovers who don't mind incense in the mix.

Surprisingly pleasant honey. Honey is a tricky note in perfumery, and I've only smelled one other that didn't have anything jarring/piercingly sweet about it (Hiram Green's Slowdive). This Al Rehab starts off pretty strong and is all thick, sweet honey atop a generous layer of vanilla, then mellows out quickly. Something about the base reminds me of plain popcorn fresh out the kettle. I dabbed it on my inner elbow from a sample, so I don't know if it's normally stronger or if I just become noseblind to it quickly, because I hardly detect anything minutes later. I probably wouldn't get this for myself, but the honey note alone impressed me.
