Fruit

This is a beautiful scent and is the fruit bowl experience I was hoping for when I blind bought Tiziana Terenzi Kirke but that one was a fruit bowl fail for me. I purchased Fruit Al-Rehab for the Dewberry comparisons and for me it's about 80% there. A closer dupe for me is Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi. That said, I will treasure my Fruit-Rehab in it's own right for that luscious sparkling burst of ripe fruit in the heat of summer, I love it! Edit - after a full.day wear, this approaches Dewberry more and more over the arc of the day, giving it a 90% similarity at this point. I still also love my Fico di Amalfi for a slightly more lemony approach to the Dewberry. Both of these together whet the nostalgia I had had for that clinking of glass and luscious fruity scent that you got at the Body Shop's scent bar of old.

This is very much like TBS Dewberry, I would say 85-90% like it. I was pleased when I found this in my stash as I gave my TBS Dewberry perfume oil away long ago. If you love (and miss) Dewberry this is worth a try. I don't associate this fragrance with teenagers, I associate it with the 80s and 90s at a time when the world seemed a lot less complicated. Like the original this packs a powerful punch if used too liberally - I recall newspaper stories of Dewberry stinking out offices and workers being disciplined for doing so. Sadly, off topic, I agree with people who say that The Body Shop has lost its way. This is often the case with organisations whose founders die or quit the day to day running. I hope it finds its mojo again soon, hopefully when it is sold.

I have had TBS Dewberry on my mind lately and the eBay search provided enough bottles with a hefty price tag. I couldn't see spending $70-200 on a 1OZ bottle of oil so I opted to try this first at $3 on Amazon. Im sure if I had a time machine and went back to 1992 to compare this to my beloved Dewberry, I may pick up on the differences, however without that little bottle of oil side by side, I can smell no difference. This immediately transported me back to Kim's driveway, picking her up to head out to Caffeine or the Limelight, or wherever the Rave was that night. This is such a great memory jogger, even if it isn't for everyday for me, the nostalgia is worth the wear. Fruit has given me back some great memories that have been long gone.

I don’t find this to be a sharp fruit smell I find this to be more of a spicy fruit smell, more like you’re walking through an Arabic market and you can smell the fruits and the spices of the market that is the feeling I get from this fragrance and I must say I love it! I can see myself using this as a layering oil to add a little bit of spice and fruit to other scents. This is a 10 out of 10 in my book

Strong fruit punch opening with a musky dry down, great for summer. I get some red berries that are not listed. The oil roller is super concentrated so 4 dots and I'm done.

I agree with the review below. I loved dewberry do I love this!

I have the oil. This smells pretty good. At first it was just kind of a sweet citrus smell that I couldn't really put my finger on so my brain just decided it was orange and lemon. After sitting on the skin for a while it started to smell different, more like tropical fruit so I came back to look at the notes and now I definitely smell pineapple and banana mixed in with the citrus. That's basically the only fruits I can smell. Sillage and longevity are just moderate. If you put the oil in an area that might touch your clothes, it will last longer if it gets on your clothes a bit. It's a nice cheapie for summer time and smells like something you could get from Bath and Body Works. Edit: The more I smelled this, the more it smelled like fruity bathroom cleaner. It seems the only Al-Rehab fragrances I enjoy are Soft and Choco Musk. Fruity scents from this house smell like cleaner or smell very sour and nauseating.

Before I begin with this review a quick word regarding gender. Why oh why is this classed as a female fragrance? I get it, I understand, I've said before - floral fragrances have usually been the preserve of women, woody and oakmoss for gentlemen. But this is fruit. Fruit. Anyway, what can be said of this little wonder. It's Al Rehab, which means a good quality oil at a very low price. The smell, perfect; not unlike a big bag of jelly sweets. To break wind in an elevator, it has been said, is wrong on so many levels. But what if the breaker of wind were a gummi bear? Essence of Haribo, that could be an alternative name for this oil. Longevity is about 5 to 6 hours with a couple of rolls around the neck; sillage moderate. Al Rehab Fruit - For woman, for man, for everyone.

So happy I decided to try out a few of the Al Rehab oils! This one is no exception! Fruit undeniably starts off with a bit of a synthetic edge that I admit was initially off putting. I am forgiving of this, because I believe this "chemical" may be necessary for it to be the amazing powerhouse it is! It does not take very long before the magic begins though, and Fruit unfolds into a most delightful and unusual scent experience. This oil is quite strong and the impression is of somewhat spiced cooked fruits initially with a faint mull wine accord, and then it morphs into this mixture of rich, ripe fruits that give off a fabulous natural sugar note. This is great stuff!

Lemon Chupa Chups lollipop scent, will serve well when I’ll be in that mood ! Edit: previous comment was based on mere sniffing the cuff of the bottle I’m now wearing it, lemon lollypop is still there Id say that’s the scent it gives off from a distance, but if I sniff close to skin, I get a luxorious wash dettergent like scent as well on the background, these are impressions I get within an hour of applying it. Loving it so far, easy wearing fresh sweet fruity, excites about the dry down, maybe something is lurking like in SOFT... time will tell...

I've been wearing 'Fruit' for a few years now, every now and again. I didn't think this could possibly mimic any western scent in existence until I came across a vintage bottle of Liz Claiborne (in the yellow, red, and blue triangle bottles). After the top-notes of LC faded a bit, I was astounded: here was 'Fruit', by golly! A dry, spicy-fruity chypre that calls to mind those deep magenta, fruity potpourris that everyone seemed to have sitting in a bowl in their living-rooms in the '80's.

This is very sweet if worn on its own, but I layer it with other perfumes and then it comes into it's own. Layered with just about any perfume, Fruit makes that perfume a perfect summer scent. I have layered it also with other Arabian Oils, and they also have been successful, so for those of you that thinks it's too sweet, before throwing it or giving it away, try layering with something else, you might be pleasantly surprised, I know I was.

Sweet, bright, and uncomplicated. Teenage me would have loved this one, but this isn't quite what I'm looking for these days. If someone walked into work wearing this one, I might give them the side-eye. This smells like a middle school locker room after all the girls have given themselves cheap body spray baths from bottles containing pink liquid. It doesn't smell BAD, just a little too young for me.

sent le sirop de fruit, banane ; ananas, kiwi et musc très perceptibles; du pur sucre, moi j'aime bien , me fait un peu penser à adopt ananas-kiwi, mais je préfère cette huile d'al rehab

Lots of kiwi, peach, banana and pineapple. A little musk but not too much. Full of vitality on a woman or a man. I love this.

I smell fruit salad with a definite musky drydown. Good staying power, not a ton of sillage. I like this.

I love this scent, its very heavy and ambiguously fruity and it pairs well with choco by al rehab.

A clean smell — like a spicy-floral shampoo rather than fruits.

Very syrupy-fruity. No banana. Projects very well!

This one is intriguing but not for me. It’s a 90% dupe for Pulp by Byredo. The opening is different, and the Byredo is more well blended and smells more expensive. But truly most people aren’t gonna notice the difference, and I don’t think Pulp is worth the price at all because the scent itself is so..polarizing and uber fermented fruity (but not in the best possible, unlike Erba Pura, Tiziana Terenzi which are worth the money). If you love Pulp you will like this (maybe you could switch between pulp and this to stretch Pulp and save some coin)
