Blanc

As I write this, I have Lacoste White sprayed on my left hand and Al Rehab Blanc on my right (Yes I have the spray version). Initially, Lacoste White presents a more pronounced woody note, while Blanc comes off as somewhat alcohol-heavy. The difference in quality is evident at this point. However, this contrast doesn’t last long. Within 30 seconds, they become almost indistinguishable—so much so that I’m tempted to call them identical. If I really focus, I can still detect a trace of woodiness and vetiver in Lacoste White, whereas Blanc starts to reveal a floral undertone. From afar, it's a difference that only Fragheads would notice. When it comes to longevity, sillage, and overall performance, they are remarkably similar. Given this, choosing Blanc becomes a no-brainer—unless, of course, you’re drawn to the bottle design or the brand prestige.

dorchild is right--this is very similar to Lacoste white. If anything, I like it better. With Lacoste, it dries down to a somewhat bitter base (it is the only reason I have not purchased it after testing). This doesn't. It's light, never brash or sharp, and very smooth. It's lemon/citrus comes off as natural. I think there are some florals which support the citrus, although my nose is not refined enough to tell you exactly which one(s). The creaminess of the musk adds to it's profile. It doesn't project as mightily as some of these al-rehab scents, it only does so moderately. I could still smell it the next day, but only as a skin scent. This one is truly unisex, and I can tell you I enjoy it myself as a man, or would on a woman.

Sep 2014 My 1st review in fragrantica. Al-Rehab Blanc - smells citrusy with very light musky notes. Smells similar to the opening of CK-One & remains there itself. I have tried other Al-Rehab oils (Khaliji, Silver) & they are better than this. Smells Fresh, Clean & its Ok...not bad...not good. Medium to low projection (which generally all citrus fragrances have). Better to go with Al-Rehab Silver which smells little different than this. Update: June 2015 Today I used this again...& it smelt really nice...clean, fresh, linear citrus musky scent..So I take back some parts of the review above...this scent is in fact GOOD,....masculine & fun...not overpowering or offensive... Overall 4.2 out of 5

From the name itself it obvious that this is inspired by Lacoste blanc. It one of my favorite from Al-rehab. It doesn't last long and weak, but it really smells pleasant for me. There some floral smell on the top to mid-note. Good inexpensive fragrance for everyday use. 7.5/10

I smell musk melon very predominant. Exceptional fragrance for everyone.

Smell floral, gentle and soft. Inoffensive, Easy to go for everyday use.

I've worn this several times now. I generally wear the unfamiliar Al-Rehabs when I'm going to bed because I love that they last all night, and I can apply a bit on my wrists so that is the only perfumed place for the sake of intimate moments . . . my hubby won't get a mouth full of perfume. This smells like men's fragrance. That's not a bad thing at all. It is everything the description says, except I do get a definite minty note in the opening. Very quickly this dries into a pleasant aquatic ala 1980-90s. Its not the contemporary light aquatics which I tend to hate because they are all citrus and aquatic with no substance. This one is earthy and musky and really pleasant. That being said, it is a safe, middle-of-the-road scent. That can be a good thing though, especially with oils. This one would layer beautifully. I can imagine it layered with something rather sharp that needs to be toned down, or to freshen up something that's too dark or too flat. It might be quite nice with a fruity fragrance. Many options I can think of. Chances are it will be one I'll have hubby sniff out. If he likes it, I'll pass it on to him. If not, it might be a gift to a brother-in-law or friend.

Blind bought this because people mentioned it's similar to Lacoste L.12.12. White. Not exactly similar, but in the same family. The strong aquatic note in Blanc reminds me of others like CK One and Clinique Happy. A good freshie to have for the gym. I can't wait for my next paycheck so I can try out more Al Rehab fragrances! Every now and then I smell a melon note that can occasionally make me want to vomit but since I'm not wearing it (it's for my boyfriend) I can tolerate it. I really need to know what chemical that is because it's in some other frags I have like Vera Wang Princess...

I can't put my finger on it, but this reminds me of a sporty daytime scent for men that I recall sniffing. Very clean, light fougere with hints of lavender, anise, herbs, and citrus; crisp green, soapy, and aquatic notes... delicate coniferous woods, faintest hint of coumarin, and white musk. Very nicely blended (hard to pick out single notes!), very inoffensive, starts out moderate projection and then stays as aura closer to the skin- I would recommend this to anyone enjoying "clean/fresh" fragrances! Longevity/performance is decent- can still sense a trace of it after 9 hours.

The scent is very close to lacoste white that I regret buying the original one, and I'm not joking. Of course, the major difference is the opening smell which is kind of a blast of alcohol, in which almost all of the cheap Middle eastern fragrance have. But after a while, it's almost identical. The difference is that this is more flowery and lacoste is more woody. Don't worry, it's probably rare that a fraghead will magically appear beside you and say that you're wearing a blanc clone. Save your money and buy this one.

A good clone indeed, but there is some side-smell that just doesn't lets off my nose - maybe is it alcohol? Weird, the main feature of these attars is that they are alcohol-free, but it feels like during the copying process the alcohol fragnance was brought over somehow. It's one of the less-invasive Al Rehabs by the way, so definitely recommended for perfume oil newbies.

It is simple and linear. The smell you get removing the cap is the same as when you catch the last whiff of it later. It is a fresh citrus version of a white musk. It is pleasant. More of a home scent. I cannot think of a reason to wear it to work or an evening out. It more appropriate for sitting outside at home while reading.

Fresh, white musk, bit of citrus. It's versatile and easy to wear anytime. I like it. *Update* This is now a love. Blanc is a really lovely fresh perfume with a very good performance and it's unbelievable value. I've just bought another 50ml spray of EDP.

Pleasant citrus-y unisex scent. Safe freshy blind buy.

The scent is nice, but as a guy.......it's a bit too feminine to me. It smells like there's a cucumber melon (probably from the musk) kind of note in it which better fits women. This is a very nice scent but I would picture this more on a woman than on me or any other guy. This is definitely not masculine, at least not to me. If there are guys here looking to attract women with a good scent, you may want to skip this one and find something else. This one might not help ya fellas. Just friendly advice from your fellow man.

It's smell like Clinique or Head&Showder Shampoo

Fragrance -Blanc Al-Rehab Bottle(roll-on) from - 2016 Blanc opens on my skin with a fresh and a bit green citruses with dominant bergamot laying on top of a pleasant musk.What makes the opening interesting is the modest trace of a grass-like herbs and some kind of an aquatic magic. During mid development,florals with dominant geranium and jasmine comes into the game and adds a bit romantic floral symphony. This all leads into a musky,floral and woody base with dominant cedar and musk and with a wisper of ambroxan. Blanc has some similarities to Eau de Lacoste L.12.12. White by Lacoste Fragrances. Longevity - 7/10(7+hours) Silage/Projection - 6,5/10(moderate projection and silage for the first 1-2 hours,than sits closer to skin for the duration of the scent's evolution) 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. Versatility - 8/10 Age - 18+ Compliments - 7/10 Scent - 7/10 Main notes according to me - bergamot,lemon,musk,geranium, jasmine,herbs,aquatic notes,cedar. The drydown is musky,woody and floral I get some - cedar,florals,ambroxan and musk. Emotions - tender,gentle,pleasant,calming,romantic. Occasion -perfect for casual activities,sports activities, college and office. Blanc is a safe choice for everyday wear. Nice fragrance,unbelievable price.

Not really an interesting fragrance, but still enjoyable. This is a fresh, fruity, aquatic, calone bomb in the late 90's to mid 00's mold. I get a lot, and I mean a lot, of melon out of this. I'm surprised more people don't talk about that note. It's mixed with mint or menthol, lime and other citruses, musk, and some nondescript white flowers and woods. This strikes me as a cross between Kenneth Cole Reaction and Eau de Lacoste. It is a linear fragrance overall. What you smell on first application is what you'll mostly get during the drydown. The main changes are that the citrus notes die down, while the muskiness gets a bit stronger. The melon stays throughout the entire duration. It does smell synthetic, but that's expected for the style. It's less synthetic smelling than a lot of the typical sporty, aquatic, shower gel fresh scents in the same vein. Longevity and projection are superb. I get 10+ hours out of it. It projects loudly for quite a few hours, before it settles down closer to the skin. This is a review for the oil. I don't know how the spray will compare

I have this in spray form, not the roll on oil version, so maybe the review will differ from those using the oil on sillage and longevity. Out of all the reviews here, my experience closely matches that of labaloo and jeremyn87 This is your typical generic men's cologne. Simple and light. No spices, leather or tobacco, all of which I love. It opens very aquatic, almost like Davidoff, but less sweet, though this definitely has melon and more ozonic. It remains aquatic for an hour or so and then the citrus takes over. The citrus is more like walking through lime orchard, not at all gourmand varieties. A few hours in and this becomes a white musk perfume. More like Jovan White Musk. Longevity is 6 hrs plus and scent cloud remains close to the body. Great fragrance for summer and/or office wear. To me this is a very good dupe of Oriflame Citrus Tonic, say 70% similarity. The Oriflame one has more oranges and less aquatic and melon.

After nearly killing myself and those around me with Al Rehab Silver, I was tentative and mindful with the application of this oil roll on, just a small part on each wrist and a dab behind the ears and as a result I found it much more pleasurable. This is an inoffensive scent that's strong enough to be noticed but not so powerful as to be overbearing. Perfect for a hot summers day, outdoors or inside. Like other reviews here state, this doesn't divert much from the initial citrus / hint of musk at any stage until the far dry down where it's a soft and light musk scent. A steal at the price and well worth trying out although it's never going to be one I regularly use, it's nice for a switch up. Definitely one of the better Al Rehab oils i've tried.
