Luzane

Luzane was my first introduction to Al-rehab, probably about a year ago now. At the time Fragrantica did not have it listed in its database, but I'm happy they have since added it. More people deserve to know about this hidden beauty, in my oppinion. This little guy (I have the rollerball oil version) was the sole reason I then went ahead and bought about ten more Al-rehabs to try out. And even though I now own and wear quite a few Al-rehabs, Luzane remains my favourte. I simply love this stuff. My observations have led me to the conclusion that on the Fragrantica boards the most popular Al-rehabs seem to be Soft, Chocomusk and Nebras. I have all, like all, but feel none of those reach the heights of Luzane. Now to the scent itself. Simply put, Luzane is fresh. To me, it is the kind of a clean out of the shower fresh fragrance. It is sort of an aqua rose with a bit of citrus luring in the background. Freshness from the water, cleanliness from the rose, bound together by the lovely aroma of lemongrass. The citrus part from the lemongrass, to my nose is noticable but quite faint. I mostly smell the aquatic notes and the lovely rose, but the citrus is still there and adds a little something to the composition. This doesn't have a crazy projection but the staying power is good even though it stays close to the skin. But that is what I want for this type of fragrance. I would never be afraid to put this on in any type of situation (I even wear this to the gym). It just refreshes you. Even though Luzane's more gourmand and louder Al-Rehab siblings seem to be more extoverted and attention grabbing, the excellent qualities of the softer spoken, more introverted sibling should not be ignored or forgotten. I personally think Luzane deserves a lot more attention and praise :) If you like fresh and clean scents then give it a go, I think it's worth it!

I've had Luzane in my collection for a couple of years now, and I love it for the Spring and Summer. It lasts well and has reasonable sillage but not overpowering(I hate making people cough because of my perfume!) I get the lemon in the opening, which hangs around for while and then the rose comes out, a beautiful blousey pink rose. There is also another flower, could be a soft jasmine,but very nice. The drydown is divine, with the rose deepening and joined by what I think is a musky-vanilla warmth and candles - I know, weird, but there's a lovely candle smell there too. I usually make sure I have a back-up roll-on of this one, same as Susan and Red Flower, as these three get a hammering during the warmer months. Also very nice layered with Miss Tutu, Milton Lloyd dupe of Chanel Coco Chanel, but the Luzane outlasts the 'Coco' by many hours.

Oh, I love this scent! It's a little soapy, a little appley, a little aquatic, a little rosy. It's what you would get if Tommy Girl and J'adore Dior had a baby. And it lasts for hours. Definitely one of my go-to scents.

This is really nice. A rosy, aquatic soapy scent. Something fresh and not overwhelming like many other Al-Rehabs. This smells of body lotions and makeup, it is so clean and clear you can wear it even under our terrible sun at 45°C and no one will be suffocated by your perfume. It's light in sillage but still noticeable and last a good few hours on my skin. It's still slightly sweet and fruity but not one of those cloying gourmands. It reminds me to some of those Adidas EDTs wich are perfect after training and a shower. Gave this to a teenage girl who thinks my fumes are "granny scents" and she loved it.

Oil Version: To my nose this is similar to tommy girl, without the super strong alcoholic blast I sniff as soon as I spray it. Very clean and simple, femmine, there is surely a faint jasmine note in this as well, the rose is not so detectable to me. The composition is fresh, the lemongrass and the water notes are predominant. This is a pretty composition and very easy to wear. A valid and cheap everyday scent, perfect for work. Sillage is moderate, it lasts 10 to 12 hours on my skin (and that is fantastic, since my skin "eats" scents)
