Fantastic

I have never smelled Fantasy but hope to soon and I have a feeling I will like it. With this the fruity/sweet notes and florals are warmly enveloped in the amber and musk, the initial spray no alcohol blast and is of a note that could have been citrus but whatever this note it smells warm/boozyish. (The amber I suppose) I did not get the alcohol blast on first spray indicative of most aging al rehab fragrances. I get kinda barely sweet (boozy citrus and or maybe peach) and then a nice floral on a perfume test strip but not really as much on my skin but it's a warm vanilla, floral amber-y musk combo but just nothing candy sweet or. Al Reab.com only mentions floral and vanilla as scent notes. I don't smell rose on it's own as a scent note but it blends well with the other scent notes. One youtuber said she thinks the fruit notes could be peach or mango which are great guesses and make a little more sense then citrus but al rehab usually just states fruit on their perfumes and then leaves it to the imagination and that for sure adds to their allure. It does not smell like an "old lady" perfume to me. One of the issues I have been facing besides knock offs on my new arab perfume journey is sellers selling old perfumes (eight months to over two years old) and oils with their scent notes missing and longevity (this one I am getting about 20-45 minutes tops before it's almost gone to a skin scent) is terrible but I also take into consideration the wide variance of what people detect scent wise myself included with olfactory, skin chemistry and nose blindness with perfumes and oils. It's safe to say anyone can wear this since there are two opposite reviews saying it can be worn by the young and not so young and wether mine is missing the sweet notes or not it can be considered unisex. Anyone can wear this. I like the warm fruity, floral, vanilla, musk-y amber combo notes this has. I really like this as is now so I know I would like it when it's brand new as well. I just wish it had better longevity, although what is left when it fades does linger in my scent bubble and that's nice added bonus for the price. (I do see that prices have risen since al rehab first went viral a few years ago, the popular ones being pricier except for choco musk which I can't stans) It IS fantastic as it is named and I would say It is a safe blind buy imo, for me it was which is uncommon to rare. I can't wait to smell fantasy. Another al rehab winner imo/

Al Rehab Fantastic is similar to Britney Spears Fantasy but it's even more similar to Britney's Rocker Femme. it opens with a strong and candied fruity burst. a tart and sweet blackberry and litchi. it stays deliciously fruity for a while and then some cupcake, cream, vanilla and soft musky, almost powdery florals start to show up. I love Britney Spears Fantasy Rocker Femme so no wonder I love this one too because to my nose, they're exact dupes.my sister who isn't familiar with Fantasy line said Al Rehab Fantastic reminds her of Lancome Tresor La Nuit without the darker notes. there's a dozen of Al Rehab perfumes which I love and this is among them. BTW I have it in 35 mil spray bottle. واقعا حیف که عطرهای الرهاب تو ایران موجود نمیشن.با وجود قیمت مناسبشون کلی عطر خوب بین عطرهای الرهاب میشه پیدا کرد. الرهاب فنتستیک شبیه بریتنی اسپیرز فنتسیه منتها حتی بیشتر از خود فنتسی، شبیه به فنتسی راکر فم هست. شباهتشون درحدیه که تشخصیشون از همدیگه خیلی سخته. بمحض اسپری شدن،موجی از شیرینی آب نبات طور به همراه ملسی دهن آب انداز میوه ای به استقبال تون میاد. رایحه میوه ای غالب، ترکیبی از توتهای سیاه و سرخالو هست. عطر تا مدتی تو این فاز میمونه تا اینکه رایحه میوه ای یکم ملایمتر میشه و روایح خوشمزه ای از نوع دیگه مثل کاپ کیک و وانیل و خامه به صحنه میان. تو پس زمینه هم یه رایحه گلی-مشکی ملایم و تقریبا پودری. من بریتنی اسپیرز راکر فم رو خیلی دوست دارم پس بالطبع الرهاب فنتستیک رو هم دوست دارم. خواهرم که لاین فنتسی بریتنی رو تست نکرده، نظرش راجع به این عطر این بود که کمی شبیه لانکوم ترزور لانویت هست البته منهای نتهای تیره تر ترزور لانویت. خود عطر ۳۵ میله و شیشه ارزونقیمت طوری داره اما از نظر موندگاری و پخش بو، متوسط به بالاست. و با توجه به اینکه قیمتش فقط هفت، هشت دلاره بنظر من برای کساییکه این سبک روایح شیرین و خوشمزه و دخترونه دوست دارن ارزش خرید بالایی داره تو این شرایط که انقد قیمت عطر بالا رفته خیلی خوب میشد اگه لااقل فروشنده ها عطرهای الرهاب رو موجود میکردن. من نزدیک بیست تا از عطرهای مارک الرهاب رو دارم و بین شون کمه کم هفت، هشت تا رو خیلی خیلی دوست دارم.

This settles down quite nicely after the first >30 minutes smelling of very ripe banana-flavoured tuberose with a good measure of sugar on top, although that might be because I didn't let it settle after being delivered. I know from past experience, that these oils get very 'shook up' by the whole delivery process, and need to 'rest' for a few days before their real character shows. My bad, I can't wait to try a new one. To stop the overly-sweet banana getting out of hand, I do admit to giving it a little swipe of oudh, and it's done the trick. I am beginning to get soft florals coming through now, and it's a lot more wearable in public. Some people might love the heavy gourmand sweetness that it opens with, but not me. The rose is very gently coming through, along with some more 'garden', and a lovely, light jasmine. I would imagine that this wears quite close to the skin, which is no bad thing, and needs to be kept away from the public for the first 30 minutes. Now, it smells very feminine and light, a nice perfume to wear during the day, with a pretty dress or blouse, and would be excellent for Spring and Summer days. NB. 3 hours in (sans the oudh now), and it is literally Fantastic. I love it, and it is not, as I said before, light; it is sumptuous, with different layers showing themselves and intermingling, constantly. I feel like I'm living in a cloud of womanliness. And yes, as someone previously mentioned, it is a lot like Poeme, if my memory serves me well. I can see me wearing this a lot. My next delivery is their Nebras - hope it's equally as good, (or even a knock-out.) Next day - wore it all day today, it is so beautiful. My husband loves it, too.

Very nice fragrance. I have the 50ml spray. I've had it just over a year now. I let my man pick it out. We were in a shop in Algeria. I needed(wanted) a new perfume. There was a huge selection. As always I am very indecisive. I will smell every single scent in the joint twice before I come even close to settling on one or two or three or seven different scents that I like. So to make things quick and more enjoyable for my guy I decided to do things differently and let HIM choose my new perfume. Also because he was the one paying for it, so I don't know how much this cost. :P He chose well anyways. It's not what I would have picked out for myself, but it is nice, I've worn it a lot, enjoyed it a lot, and it's almost gone now. It's a bit of an addicting smell. Sweet but not icky-sweet and very feminine. To me it smells a lot like a cotton candy scent. Fruity cotton candy sweetness x hint of vanilla x tiny hint of floral. It is a bit musky, you can't tell til a while after spraying it though. My best friend likes this perfume and she and I have almost opposite taste when it comes to perfume. She does not like really musky/heavy floral scents. She likes the sweeet, fruity, candy type, crispy clean scents which definitely describes this one. Totally a feminine scent that can be enjoyed by most people. I can't get over how much it reminds me of cotton candy. I am surprised that I enjoy this perfume as much as I do.

Indeed very close to Britney Spears Fantasy, so this review is more of a comparison of these two. The opening is about the same, very bright, sweet and fruity with a tart kiwi note. I think the kiwi is a little more rounded and less sour than in Fantasy. I don't know about pre-reformulated Fantasy, if I ever smelled that it must have been over a decade ago. Fantastic is also a little more floral than Fantasy, but these are only minor differences, so I thought that Fantastic is pretty much just a dupe. But when I woke up after sampling this for the first time the evening before, I smelled a creamy, vanilla-infused musk instead of the cupcake-vanilla in Fantasy. More perfumey than the baked goods drydown of the original. I tried it two more times and always got the same result, in the final drydown Fantastic becomes its own fragrance. I don't think that you really need both this and Fantasy. As I have only tried the EDP spray, I can't judge the oil, and obviously a matching oil as an addition to a perfume is a different story. As for the EDPs, both are fun, girly and available for cheap, and both have their own merits. Choose Fantasy if you like a more literal cupcake gourmand, choose Fantastic if you want something more musky or a little twist on the celebrity classic.

After having ordered a few Al-Rehab and Al Aneeq perfume oil rollerballs recently, and after reading good reviews about this one, I decided to order this and a rollerball of Al-Rehab's Sandra. Unfortunately, Sandra has turned out to be a total flop for me. It's far too heavy and stinky to my nose and makes me feel queasy! Happily though, Fantastic is a big winner and it's so much more likeable than Sandra. Fantastic is much softer, cleaner and creamier smelling and it gets better and better the longer it's on my skin. Also, as soft as it is, like many of these perfume oils it lasts for hours and hours - in fact, much longer than many expensive perfumes. It's an ideal everyday perfume that is highly unlikely to offend anybody so colleagues would be able to breathe easy and not have to suffer having to inhale a stenchy perfume throughout the work day! This is a 10 out of 10 for me and I'll definitely be getting more!

This is so cheap and I was curious so I got myself a bottle. Ive smelt BS Fantasy and EA Provocative Interlude and frankly this is better than either. Its the most western smelling of the Arabic range. For such a cheap fragrance I was expecting there to be a chemical undertone but all credit to the creators there isnt. If I was a teenager again then I would have soon fallen for this. Its a wonderful fruit fest of candied delight. Yes, sweet and girly. Im the wrong side of 50 but Im still happy to wear it for day wear. It garners quite a few compliments to. This is the spray and its still much stronger than BS Fantasy or EA PI. Tuberose is listed but its most definitely candied and hard to detect. On me it is first and foremost all about sweet fruit but as it wains you can start to pick out the floral notes. This is as girly as it gets. Moderate sillage and longevity

I have quite a few al rehab oils and quite a few concentrated perfume oils. Something about this one makes me feel special. Don’t know if it’s the sugary flowery happy scent or what. I layer this one and it’s absolutely beautiful comforting sweet flowery fragrance. I put musk silk by ajmal on pulse points together with a little dab of dehnal Oudh and after those two settle a bit dab a bit of this oil on. The resulting fragrance is warm and musky and powdery with dose of grounding Oudh wafting in clouds during the day and keeping me happy. Ordered another one and a spray too - will try to layer the spray over musk and Oudh - at the moment it’s like a ritual of layering this with some grounding wood and soft powdery musk. My husband loves it and he is no Oudh fan! Trying to get him into the beauty of it by layering. Happy scent

IMO, this reminds me of Al Rehab's Soft. All Grown-up! ONLY the base. No piercing lemon or strong incense like AR-SOFT. If you have found this page, I assume you are familiar with the beloved, "Soft". It shares that vanilla-amber base. JUST ALIKE. I have tried both the spray and oil of this. The oil is 'fluffy' or more 'creamy', not milky. The spray is more sheer and tangy. Not lemon-y. The tuberose (balmy, hot copy-machine paper type smell) is noticeable here. But, it is "checked" by the amber-nilla base. If you hate tuberose, get the oil. This is also one of the more pleasant ones. .

my second review, I have used over half a 50ml spray bottle despite having enouth perfume to last me a few lifetimes. I ordered it in oil form having never been able to get the oil before, just the spray. I think the oil is definitely the better value as it is incredibly strong and amazing and I only paid £1.99 for it. this perfume is probably in my top 3 out of all my perfumes

This one is probably my favorite from al rehab I already love britney spears fantasy but I love this one even more it’s cheaper and lasts longer and it’s super juicy and yummy and I think it has more personality than fantasy overall a 10/10 Im on my second bottle and I‘d purchase it again 🍓😋🧁

After the fruity opening I get mostly amber and vanilla which combine to create a warm, delicious caramel accord. It's quite "safe", I could see it becoming a go-to scent if I'm feeling a bit basic. Edit: This is SO warm and fruity. Delicious smell.

I really like it since i have history with fantasy of miss spears , i got memories just by spraying it , lovely scent very unique smell of vanilla i also smell coconut , love it for the price

lovely fragrance, at first it is very fruity but dries down to a lovely vanillery sweet scent. its very strong and I oversprayed the first time I used it but its a wonderfull perfume

On my skin, Fantastic smells like an up-market, and slightly stronger version of LVEB. Fantastic! Nobody else has mentioned this, so maybe it' just me, but I love it.

This perfume smells amazing! It's so sweet and fruity, with a lovely vanilla undertone. I get compliments on it all the time. Definitely my new go-to scent.

Roll on oil: I really love this one! Its very fruity sweet, musky, tangy and lasts forever which on my skin is a miracle :) This was a good buy.

So so good!! Definitely my favorite from the Al-rehab line.

Simply. Fabulously. Beautiful.

Another Al Rehab W. A review of the 50ml spray: This is a lovely fruity fragrance with a sweet, slightly musky and amber dry down. It opens up very fruity, a little tart but sweet. it then settles into a lovely fruity & floral scent with distant hints of vanilla in the dry down. Lasts about an hour or two on my skin and lasts for a day or so on clothes however the projection is very intimate and lasts 2 hours max for me. I believe it can work with all seasons but it gives me a lovely spring brunch with the ladies vibe to me. Very very feminine scent. This was a blind buy for me that I quite like and don't regret getting. However, still 50-50 on whether I'd repurchase this. It really does smell similar to Fantasy by Britney spears... Inspired. A great Cheapie to be honest and a safe blind buy.

Fantastic dupe for Fantasy😂. F-AR starts with a tart and sweet fruity accord just like Fantasy but less tart (mind you I’m comparing from memory not side by side, so take that with a grain of salt). It then becomes a very creamy caramel and vanilla gourmand though in a softer way than Fantasy. It has less cake and white chocolate and feels airier overall but still very close and a beautiful girly fragrance at heart. However, I don’t mind wearing it at 50 at all. I wear what I like. It lasts and projects, so it’s a gem at this price point . Thankfully this Arabian perfume house didn’t add their touch of oud to this dupe (check Sandra if you’re looking for that). I prefer it this way airy creamy sweet goodness. Don’t care for depth and mysteriousness this time 🥰

I am not incredibly familiar with Fantasy by Britney Spears, but if I remember correctly, this one is indeed quite similar. The opening is a fruity, bubbly burst, very tart and juicy. After that, it starts sweetening and warming up on the skin and it becomes more gourmand. It becomes a skin scent quite fast for an Al Rehab (around the 2-3 hour mark), and it lingers on for a couple of more hours after that. The main difference which I perceived with Britney, AGAIN, if I remember correctly, is that the latter is more creamy, somehow more “paste-y” from the chocolate, and sweeter, while this one kinda keeps a small sour edge throughout the entire evolution. Anyhow, it’s a very pleasant and likeable scent and I was happy to try it due to a generous fragrantican!

IMMEDIATELY when I put it on, I was like "BS Fantasy!"... and then I came on here, and see that others agree! And now the connection by name occurred to me as well... :-) Haha! Too good. Obviously, then, if you want an idea of what this fragrance smells like, head over to the Fantasy page... It has a unique balance between fruit-berry notes and vanilla sugar, sweet warm and cool flowers (jasmine-tuberose against freesia-rose), over a sweet-musky base (with just a faint touch of patch). Absolutely lovely, sweet gourmand scent for cool weather days... the Al Rehab rendition is like owning an extrait version- you don't need much, and it lasts all day.

This is a sweet, inoffensive, blind buy-safe cheapie. I smell citrus and sweets in the dry down. The initial top note has that signature, cheap alcohol blast I have come to know and love from Al-Rehab. It has been a very long time since I have had my nose on Fantasy, but I can definitely see the comparisons. This would make a good gift for someone in a younger demographic. It also works well for a quick purse spray.

I've got the oil, its definitely a fantasy dupe but i'd say its more tangy and tart and less sweet than fantasy. I like layering this with fantasy but I must say the longevity and sillage on its own is not the best (which is to be expected) but I do catch whiffs of it sometimes at the end of the day. Overall, I think its worth it if you're a fan of fantasy!

(roller vers) it's like... if fantasy and pink sugar (og) had a baby. smelling this straight out the bottle very pink sugar! once you actually apply it on your skin it still smells very much like pink sugar until it transforms into a slightly more subtle version of fantasy! you can definitely smell the spices hidden in the back! absolutely delicious!

agree with previous comment. Not Arabic at all. It's like European perfume. My mom loves Samsara, and now she loves this as well.. so much recommended for daily basis since its very much affordable yet expensive smell. hmmm..

This is okay. It's like a tart version of Britney Spears' Fantasy. The opening is more tart, fruity and juicy than Fantasy. The DNA is still there though. It gets sweeter as it dries down. Lasts for about 5 hours and projects moderately. Al Rehab oils and mists usually have pretty good performance. I'd take the real Fantasy over this because I find it to be sweeter. However, it's good for the price. I got my bottle for around 15 USD. Fantasy is only in the 20 dollar range around here though, so I feel like it's just better to pay a little more for a sweeter scent that I like more.

I blind bought this off of eBay, and I can tolerate it well enough. My 14 year-old son was smelling my fragrances the other day, and he thinks this is fire! He kind of tends to prefer sweeter scents out of a line-up. I truly find this to be highly unisex...especially for the younger generations.

I bought this to a member of our family, it suits an old lady, same top notes as old perfumes from 60, it has very fresh citrus opening, and then you smel very old fruits, it's not for me and it's not for young people

Shushkin took the words right out of my mouth! Very 'girly' indeed. I smell precisely like a western teenager - one who is wearing a popular celebrity fragrance. Men and chypre lovers be forewarned - not unisex! ;) Though not in any way truly Arabic (no oud AT ALL), I appreciate this offering from Al Rehab as a 'fantastic' introduction to Arabian oils in giftable form. I will keep it strongly in mind for presents and recommendations of easy and fun beginner attars. Of note - smells considerably similar to Al Rehab Sandra, though the balance of notes is slightly different. I think Sandra has a more powdered/vanillic dry down. Either one gives a decidedly 'Britney Spears' aura to the day, which is fun and enjoyable. And SUCH good value!

I really love this one! It was 1 of 3 Al Rehabs that I bought. Fantastic was the one that stood out the most to me. I never owned BS Fantasy and I am not really familiar with it. I'm sure I've smelled Fantasy on people because the Al Rehab Fantastic smelled sort of familiar. At any rate I am really happy with this blind buy. This perfume oil is so potent that I can smell it from the outside of the box and its not because it had spilled or leaked out. It just has strength. It goes on for hours on my skin. Really pretty scent! Fantastic gives me the same kind of vibe as Poison Girl does but I like Fantastic better.

Just got a small roll on of this fragrance and I must say I love it! It definitely smells like fantasy by Britney Spears which I own as well but this has a much smoother sweeter dry down that meshes with my skin beautifully. It is such a sensual sexy sweet scent that I think will smell nice on any one from a teen to a mature woman. I plan to pair it with my b&bw Tokyo lotus apple blossom lotion to see how they compliment each other. The lotion is a winner and compliment getter on its own so if all goes well it paired with this fragrance oil should be amazing!!!!

I bought this along with choco-musk and golden sand. It is my favorite of the three. It smells identical to Fantasy by Britney Spears minus the sour note but it's more linear..at least the roll on oil is . It's long lasting but the silage is close to skin. Everyone was raving about the intensity of these oils and I expected something greater but it's okay. It's definitely more pronounced than golden sand (which smell tropical lemonade and choco-musk which smells nothing like chocolate).

Is it fantastic? Well yes, for the price. I bought the spray for about £6 Inc postage and it has enveloped me in a sugar and hairspray with a hint of spice haze for about 6 months, till it ran out. It is pleasant, but it doesn't smell expensive to be honest, and it's not the longest lasting. Probably the oil is different. Good for everyday. I'm not rushing to buy another, but that is just because I like variety. I will probably buy another one day. 8/10

Wow, I’m seriously impressed with this. I first bought fantasy last year and immediately fell in love with it. However, as I’ve bought more for backups this year the smell is completely different. There’s definitely a reformulation between batches and I’ve been searching for doops bc I’m slowly running out of my first bottle. I had low expectations with this but it’s incredibly similar to that smell I’ve been chasing. And a cheaper alternative too!

So I thought I didn't like Fantastic but I may have been wrong. There is one small off note in here that I don't care for but...I can't figure out what it is. And underneath all of it is a very cushy smooth and sweet vanilla. It smells...like Fantasy. It smells just like I remember Fantasy smelling except it's not as sharp and not as loud and not as cloying. It's like a smooth jazz version of Fantasy.

This is more similar to Britney's rocker femme fantasy but, it's different... It's really really really good!! If you love fantasy rocker femme and regular fantasy then you will looovvvee this one! It adds more depth to rocker femme, even though rocker femme is the best of all fantasies, in cooler weather.

This one's almost identical to fantastic in the same line. What's the point of creating 2? Lol Even the notes are mostly the same. Compare for yourselves heheee. Nevertheless, both some of the strongest by Al rehab. Can't go wrong if you enjoy Britney Spears fantasy or sweet gourmands on general.

This smells very similar to Fantasy but I think I like this one a bit more. It is sweet but not cloying. It is a good everyday scent and I've gotten compliments when I've worn it. I think NicoleET88's comment that this is the smooth jazz version of Fantasy is spot on.

my darling perfume pixies! this is ok but not the full fantasy world we are invited to by ms spears! no fruit no flowers no chocolate just the dying embers of a candy floss musk and patchouli bbq - almost immediately from oil on skin! tashi.

I bought al rehab fantastic 1 month ago I got a batch in January 2020 I realized that it was a little different from what I bought last year and the delicacy of the creamy cup cake was reduced and more fruitful.

I just blind buy at an online shop. al rehab fantastic for me smells like britney fantasy old formulation. It looks like Britney Fantasy but is a bit more creamy and less fruity.

Fantastic is very sweet and creamy, it is very similar to Fantasy by Britney Spears. Feminine and playful, this is a safe one if you like sweet perfumes, plus very affordable.

Pleasant. It doesnt lean too spicy and sharp. The Vanilla and amber keep the florals in check. I think you could wear this any time of day. A great general all around scent.

Just got the 1 it literally smells like nail glue to me upon allocation terrible after a few mins it's sweet fruity. Not bad but do not love
